"Compacting Machine Scrap Press Machines" refers to industrial equipment used for compressing scrap materials—such as metal, plastic, paper, or other recyclable waste—into dense, manageable bales or blocks. These machines are essential in recycling facilities, scrapyards, manufacturing plants, and waste management operations to reduce volume, improve storage efficiency, and facilitate transportation.

Here’s a breakdown of compacting machine scrap press machines:

Types of Scrap Press Machines

1. Horizontal Baler Presses

- Ideal for light to medium-density materials like paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and textiles.

- Materials are fed horizontally into the chamber and compressed by a hydraulic ram.

- Often used in offices, warehouses, and recycling centers.

2. Vertical Baler Presses

- Suitable for smaller spaces and lighter-duty applications.

- Material is loaded from the top and compacted downward.

- Commonly found in retail stores, schools, and small recycling operations.

3. Hydraulic Scrap Compactors (for Metals & Heavy Waste)

- Used for high-density materials like shredded auto scrap, aluminum cans, steel, and ferrous metals.

- High-pressure hydraulic systems crush scrap into dense cubes or briquettes.

- Often integrated with shredders or sorting systems.

4. Twin-Plunger or Multi-Stage Presses

- Offer higher compaction ratios using multiple pistons or stages.

- Used in large-scale recycling plants and industrial settings.

5. Briquetting Presses

- Convert loose scrap (e.g., metal chips, plastic pellets) into solid briquettes.

- Increases material value by improving purity and consistency.

- Common in metalworking shops and plastic recycling plants.

Key Features

- High Hydraulic Pressure (up to 50–100 tons)

- Automatic Cycle Control (sensors detect load and trigger compression)

- Safety Interlocks & Emergency Stops

- Adjustable Baling Size/Compression Density

- Durable Steel Frame & Wear-Resistant Components

- Electric or Pneumatic Tying Systems (to secure bales)

Benefits of Using Scrap Press Machines

- Reduces scrap volume by up to 80%.

- Lowers transportation and disposal costs.

- Increases resale value of recyclables.

- Improves workplace safety and organization.

- Supports sustainability and circular economy goals.

Common Applications

- Automotive recycling yards

- Metal fabrication shops

- Paper and cardboard mills

- Plastic recycling plants

- Municipal waste facilities

- Industrial manufacturing units

Choosing the Right Machine

Consider:

- Type and volume of scrap

- Desired bale size and density

- Available space and power supply

- Budget and maintenance requirements

- Automation level needed

Maintenance Tips

- Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and filter condition.

- Lubricate moving parts and guide rails.

- Inspect cutting blades and wear plates.

- Clean debris after each use.

- Schedule professional servicing annually.

FAQ

> What grade of steel does the Hydraulic Aluminum Can Baler use on the baler? 

We use China Standard grate steel Q235 to assemble the main frame of the baler machine, and we also can make the machine per your requirement.    

> What is pressing force of France Scrap metal Baler Press? 

The pressing force of the briquetting or baler machine is different depends on different models, smaller machine has small pressing force, and bigger machines has big pressing force; and it is also determined by the material charastics and bale or briquette density.    

> Is it possible to change the wear plate on 200 Ton Metal Baler press? 

We have two method to fix the wear steel plate, one is welding the wear plate on the baler machine, and another type is changeable, whichever type of fixing, we can do it per your special requirement.    

> How to operate Aluminum Can Baler Unites States? 

This baler is very simple, just operate per user manual is ok, you can contact with us if you have any questions any time, we can guide you how to operate the baler machine.    

> Are you a manufacturer or a trader of Stainless Steel Packing Machine? 

We are true manufacturer of scrap metal baler machine, we have our own technical team, R&D team, have many processing machines, and you are warmly welcome to visit our factory personally.    

> Does the installation of Hydraulic Press For Metal Scrap require drilling and bolting into the floor or can stand without drilling? 

Regarding the drillings or not, it depends on the type of baler machine, for vertical baler machine, most of vertical baling machine needs drilling and bolting, because it is vertical type, and weight center of the machine is high; and for horizontal baler, it no need foundation, drilling and bolting, just put it on horizontal cement gound wich thickness more than 150mm.    

> What profits can we get from the Recycling Metal Equipment In Korea? 

You need to know price of metal scrap, and price of the bales you sell to metal recycling center or steel manufacturer, then you can know how much profits you will get by this machine.    

> What is Hydraulic Press Cans? 

The baler machine is mainly used to compress light metal scrap, stainless steel scrap, aluminum scrap, waste tins cans etc into small bales with high density, easy to transport and stock, save transport cost, stack cost, convenient for recycling center or steel manufacturer to melt again, improve the rate of steel melting.    

> How can i know you are a manufacturer or trader of Metal Press Iron Scrap Baler? 

You can visit our factory personally, also you can ask technical drawings such as 2D drawings 3D Drawings, we have professional technical team working on this, and will not give you these if a trader, because they don't have ability on this.
