A heavy-duty hydraulic press designed to compress and bale end-of-life vehicles, scrap metal, aluminum cans and other metal waste into dense, transportable blocks (bales) for recycling and easier handling.
It can process car bodies, mixed ferrous scrap, non-ferrous metals (including aluminium cans), light sheet metal, and other compactable metal waste. Extremely large solid items may require pre-cutting.
Bale size and weight depend on the model and tooling. Typical bale weights range from about 200 kg for small aluminium-can balers up to several tonnes (1–4+ t) for heavy scrap car balers. Custom bale dimensions are usually available.
Cycle times vary by model, bale size and feed method. Typical hydraulic cycles range from 20 seconds to several minutes. Throughput is often specified in tons per hour or bales per hour for each model.
Power and hydraulic specifications vary by model. Common configurations use 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 380–480 V, 50/60 Hz). Hydraulic pressure and pump capacity depend on the machine's tonnage — exact electrical/hydraulic parameters are provided in the product parameters for each model.
Yes — models designed as scrap car balers are built for crushing and compacting whole car bodies or large auto parts, although very large vehicles or uncut components may require pre-processing depending on the model's chamber size and ram stroke.
Standard safety features typically include emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks on access doors, pressure relief valves, overload protection, guarded moving parts, and operator control panels with safety indicators. Specific safety options depend on the model.
Installation normally requires a level concrete foundation capable of supporting the machine weight and reaction forces. Some models require anchor bolts, and a forklift or crane is usually needed for placement. Electrical hookup must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Routine maintenance includes hydraulic oil and filter changes, inspecting hoses and fittings, greasing pivot points, checking fasteners and wear parts, and testing safety systems. Daily visual checks and scheduled service (monthly/quarterly/annually) are recommended depending on usage.
Use hydraulic oils that meet the viscosity and cleanliness specifications in the product manual (usually ISO VG32–68 grades depending on operating temperature). Maintain recommended fluid cleanliness and replace oil/filters per the maintenance schedule.
Manufacturers or dealers typically offer operator training covering safe operation, routine maintenance, troubleshooting and emergency procedures. Training options and costs should be confirmed with the supplier.
Most suppliers provide spare parts, wear components (pins, seals, valves), and after-sales service. Confirm local parts availability and service support with the vendor before purchase.
Yes. Many manufacturers offer customization for chamber size, bale weight, compression force, automation, feeding conveyors, shears or pre-crushers, and control systems to match specific material types and throughput requirements.
Depending on the manufacturer, balers can be supplied with CE, ISO 9001, and other regional safety or machine directives. Verify the exact certifications included with the specific model and purchase agreement.
Warranty periods commonly range from 12 to 24 months for new machines, covering manufacturing defects (excluding wear parts). Lead times depend on model availability and customization, typically from a few weeks to several months; confirm with the supplier.
