A 100-ton used metal compress baler is a heavy-duty industrial machine designed to compress scrap metal (such as aluminum, steel, copper, and other ferrous or non-ferrous metals) into dense, compact bales for easier storage, transportation, and resale. These machines are commonly used in scrapyards, recycling facilities, metal processing plants, and manufacturing waste management operations.

Here’s an overview of key features, benefits, and considerations for a 100-ton used metal compress baler:

Key Features of a 100-Ton Used Metal Compress Baler

1. Compression Capacity:

- Can handle up to 100 tons of force (approximately 220,000 lbs).

- Ideal for compressing large volumes of bulky scrap metal.

2. Bale Size & Output:

- Produces uniform, dense bales (typically 3–5 feet long, depending on model).

- Common bale dimensions: ~24" x 24" x 48" (adjustable based on material and customer needs).

3. Hydraulic System:

- High-pressure hydraulic system ensures consistent compression.

- Often includes dual pumps or variable speed controls for efficiency.

4. Material Compatibility:

- Suitable for:

- Aluminum cans, sheets, and trim

- Steel scrap (e.g., auto body parts, sheet metal)

- Copper wire and tubing

- Mixed ferrous/non-ferrous scrap

5. Automation & Safety Features:

- Automatic cycle control (start/stop with sensors).

- Emergency stop buttons, safety guards, and interlocks.

- Optional PLC control systems for monitoring and diagnostics.

6. Frame & Build Quality:

- Reinforced steel frame for durability.

- Designed to withstand continuous industrial use.

7. Baling Mechanism:

- Wire or steel tie system to secure the compressed bale.

- Some models include automatic tying or cutting mechanisms.

 Benefits of Using a 100-Ton Used Metal Compress Baler

- Maximizes Space Efficiency: Reduces scrap volume by up to 80%, saving warehouse space.

- Increases Resale Value: Dense, clean bales command higher prices at recycling centers.

- Reduces Transportation Costs: Fewer trips needed due to compacted load size.

- Improves Operational Safety: Minimizes handling of loose scrap.

- Cost-Effective Upgrade: Buying used saves significant capital vs. new units (typically $100k–$300k new; used can be $30k–$100k depending on condition).

Things to Consider When Buying Used

1. Condition & Maintenance History:

- Ask for service records, uptime logs, and recent repairs.

- Inspect for cracks, worn seals, or hydraulic leaks.

2. Age & Hours of Operation:

- Machines over 10 years old may need major overhauls.

- Look for low operating hours (<5,000 hours ideal).

3. Compatibility with Your Scrap Type:

- Ensure it handles your specific materials (e.g., thick steel vs. thin aluminum).

4. Local Support & Parts Availability:

- Confirm if spare parts and technicians are available nearby.

5. Delivery & Installation:

- These machines are massive — requires crane or forklift for setup.

- Check site prep (floor strength, power supply, space).

6. Certifications & Compliance:

- Ensure it meets OSHA, CE, or local safety standards (especially if used in regulated environments).

If you're looking to buy one, provide details like:

- Desired location (US, EU, Asia?)

- Budget range

- Specific scrap type (aluminum, steel, mixed?)
