A Small Metal Scrap Compactor Machine is a compact, efficient piece of equipment designed to compress and densify small volumes of metal scrap (such as aluminum, steel, copper, or iron shavings, cut-offs, and other ferrous/non-ferrous waste) into manageable, dense bales or blocks. These machines are ideal for small workshops, machine shops, scrapyards, and industrial facilities with limited space but a need to reduce scrap volume for easier handling, storage, and recycling.

Key Features of a Small Metal Scrap Compactor Machine:

1. Compact Design

- Built for small spaces; often fits on a shop floor or in a garage.

- Mobile or stationary options available.

2. Hydraulic Operation

- Uses hydraulic pressure (typically 5–20 tons) to compress scrap.

- High efficiency with minimal manual effort.

3. Automatic Cycle Control

- Sensors and timers automate the compaction cycle (feed → compress → release).

- Reduces operator workload and increases safety.

4. Durable Construction

- Made from heavy-duty steel with reinforced frame.

- Resistant to wear and impact from metal debris.

5. Easy Loading & Unloading

- Open-top design allows easy hand loading.

- Some models include a pusher plate or gravity feed system.

6. Bale/Block Output

- Produces dense, uniform bales or rectangular blocks (e.g., 15–30 cm size depending on model).

- Improves transport and resale value due to higher density.

7. Low Maintenance & Energy Efficient

- Simple hydraulic systems with low power consumption.

- Minimal moving parts reduce downtime.

8. Safety Features

- Emergency stop button.

- Safety interlocks to prevent operation when door is open.

- Protective guards and non-slip surfaces.

Common Applications:

- Machine shops (lathe, milling, drilling operations)

- Automotive repair garages

- Metal fabrication workshops

- Recycling centers (small-scale)

- Manufacturing plants with moderate scrap output

Typical Specifications (Example):

| Feature | Specification |

|--------|---------------|

| Capacity | 100–500 kg per cycle |

| Hydraulic Pressure | 10–20 tons |

| Baled Size | ~30 x 30 x 40 cm (approx.) |

| Voltage | 220V / 380V AC |

| Weight | 200–600 kg |

| Type | Manual or semi-automatic |

Benefits:

- Reduces scrap volume by up to 70–80%.

- Lowers transportation and storage costs.

- Increases scrap resale value (denser = more profitable).

- Improves workshop cleanliness and safety.

- Supports sustainability and circular economy goals.

Tips When Choosing:

- Match the machine’s capacity to your daily scrap output.

- Consider space availability and power supply.

- Look for models with adjustable pressure settings for different metals.

- Check warranty and after-sales service support.

If you're looking to buy or customize a small metal scrap compactor, consider your scrap type (ferrous vs. non-ferrous), daily volume, and whether you need automation or portability.
