An "Old Scrap Iron Compress Machine Automatic" — likely a piece of industrial equipment used in recycling facilities to compress scrap metal (like old iron, steel, or other ferrous materials) into compact bales or blocks for easier handling, storage, and transportation.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what this machine typically entails:

Automatic Old Scrap Iron Compress Machine – Overview

Purpose:

- To automatically compress loose scrap iron/steel into dense, manageable bales or blocks.

- Improve efficiency in recycling operations by reducing volume and increasing material value.

Key Features:

1. Automatic Operation:

- Fully automated cycle: load → compress → bale formation → ejection.

- Minimal manual labor required.

2. High-Pressure Hydraulic System:

- Uses hydraulic cylinders to generate high pressure (typically 10–30 tons or more).

- Ensures tight, uniform compression.

3. Robust Construction:

- Made from heavy-duty steel frame and wear-resistant components.

- Designed for continuous operation in harsh environments.

4. Bale Formation & Tie Mechanism:

- Some models include automatic wire tying or strapping after compression.

- Creates secure, transport-ready bales.

5. Safety Features:

- Emergency stop buttons.

- Safety interlocks (machine won’t run if door is open).

- Protective guards and sensors.

6. Control Panel:

- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or touch-screen interface.

- Adjustable compression settings based on material type.

7. Capacity Range:

- Varies by model: from 500 kg/hour to over 2 tons/hour.

- Common bale sizes: 600×600×600 mm or custom.

Common Applications:

- Scrap yards and recycling centers.

- Automotive shredding plants.

- Steel mills and foundries.

- Metal reclaimers and waste management companies.

Types of Machines:

| Type | Description |

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

| Vertical Press | Scrap fed from top; ideal for small to medium operations. |

| Horizontal Press | Scrap loaded from side; higher capacity, better for large-scale use. |

| Automatic Baling Press | Includes tie-wire system for self-contained bale production. |

Benefits:

- Increases scrap metal density → reduces transport costs.

- Improves resale value due to standardized, clean bales.

- Saves warehouse space.

- Reduces environmental impact via efficient recycling.

Maintenance Tips:

- Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and replace filters.

- Lubricate moving parts (rails, cylinders).

- Inspect wear plates and cutting edges.

- Clean debris from the chamber after each cycle.

FAQ

> 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.
