Latvia is located in the Baltic region, where scrap metal recycling, car dismantling, and recyclable material export demand remain stable. For local car dismantling plants and scrap metal recycling companies, scrap car bodies, light scrap steel, metal offcuts, and mixed metal waste are usually bulky and irregular in shape.

If these materials are stored loosely, they occupy large yard space and increase loading and transportation costs. The customer needed a heavy duty hydraulic baler to compress loose scrap into regular bales for easier stacking, handling, container loading, and resale.

Reference Customer Situation

The customer came from the Latvian scrap metal recycling industry. Their main materials included scrap car bodies, light scrap steel, and mixed metal waste.

The customer mainly focused on:

• Large scrap car bodies occupying yard space

• Low loading efficiency of loose scrap

• High labor cost for cutting and sorting

• Higher bale density for easier transportation

• Stable long-term machine operation

• Supplier experience in export and technical support

Our Solution

Based on the customer’s material condition and processing requirements, we recommended the Y83-4000 Heavy Duty Scrap Car Baler.

Key specifications include:

This machine is suitable for compressing scrap car bodies, light scrap steel, scrap iron, and large mixed metal waste. The 4000kN pressing force supports scrap car body compression, while the push-out discharge structure makes bale collection easier. PLC semi-automatic control also improves operation stability.

Why the Customer Chose WANSHIDA

The customer chose WANSHIDA because we have more than 40 years of experience in hydraulic scrap metal recycling equipment and can recommend suitable models according to different materials and working conditions.

We have our own factory and professional engineering team, allowing us to customize machines according to local voltage, bale requirements, scrap size, and site layout. Our machines can be produced according to CE and ISO9001quality requirements, which is important for export market customers.

For the Latvian customer, price was only one part of the decision. Long-term machine stability, spare parts support, and smooth after-sales communication were also important factors.

Project Summary

This Latvia project shows that for scrap car dismantling and large scrap metal recycling operations, choosing the right hydraulic baler can greatly improve scrap handling efficiency.

The Y83-4000 heavy duty scrap car baler helps compress loose scrap car bodies and light scrap steel into high-density bales, reducing storage space, improving loading efficiency, and lowering transportation pressure.

For scrap recycling companies in the Baltic and European markets, this type of heavy duty scrap car baler is a practical, stable, and long-term valuable solution.
