Project Background:
Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. recently exported a Y83-100 Metal Baler to a large scrap metal recycling company in South Africa. This company specializes in collecting and processing a wide range of metal scrap, including steel, aluminum, and mixed metals from construction, automotive, and industrial waste. With the growing demand for metal recycling in South Africa, the customer needed a high-performance baler to improve their operational efficiency and optimize waste processing.
After evaluating various suppliers, the South African customer chose the Y83-100 Metal Baler due to its reliable performance, compact design, and ability to handle a high volume of metal waste with excellent efficiency. The machine’s ability to compress scrap into dense bales makes it ideal for reducing transportation and storage costs, which was a major concern for the customer.
Model: Y83-100 Metal Baler
Nominal Thrust (kN): 1000
Chamber Size (mm): 1000 x 600 x 500
Bale Size (mm): (200–300) x 200 x 200
Motor Power (kW): 11 kW
Production Efficiency (Tons/H): 1t–1.2t
Operation Method: Turn out, Manual
Powerful Compression Force:
The Y83-100 Metal Baler delivers a 1000 kN nominal thrust, providing the powerful compression needed to process high-density scrap metal. It allows the customer to efficiently compress various metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper.
Optimized Bale Size:
With a bale size of (200-300) x 200 x 200 mm, the baler produces compact bales that are easy to handle and transport. The optimized size ensures that the customer can maximize storage space and reduce transportation costs.
Compact and Efficient Design:
The Y83-100 features a 1000 x 600 x 500 mm chamber size, offering the customer an efficient space-saving solution. This is particularly useful for scrap yards with limited space for bulky machinery. The machine’s compact design allows for high throughput without compromising on performance.
Durable and Energy-Efficient Motor:
The baler is equipped with an 11 kW motor, providing a stable power source for continuous operation. The energy-efficient motor reduces overall operating costs, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses focused on reducing energy consumption.
Flexible Operation Methods:
The manual turn-out operation method provides flexibility for operators. The customer can adjust the operation to meet their specific production requirements, whether for smaller or larger batches of metal scrap.
Once the Y83-100 Metal Baler was installed in the South African facility, the customer was able to start processing scrap metal efficiently. The machine quickly demonstrated its ability to handle various materials, such as steel rebar, mixed metal scrap, and aluminum profiles. The baler’s high production efficiency, 1–1.2 tons per hour, ensured that the customer could keep up with the growing demand for scrap metal processing while maintaining a high standard of quality.
The South African customer expressed high satisfaction with the performance of the Y83-100 Metal Baler:
“We are very pleased with the Y83-100’s performance. It has increased our processing efficiency and significantly reduced the space required for storage. The compact bale size and powerful compression force allow us to handle a wider range of scrap materials, which has helped optimize our recycling operations. We also appreciate the flexible operation method, which suits our production needs perfectly. Wanshida’s support throughout the installation and training process was also outstanding.”
Production Efficiency:
The Y83-100 helped the customer increase their scrap metal processing capacity by approximately 35%, allowing them to keep up with higher production demands.
Cost Savings:
By improving bale density and reducing transportation needs, the customer was able to lower their logistics and handling costs.
Energy Efficiency:
The 11 kW motor ensured that energy consumption remained low while maintaining high output, contributing to a reduction in the customer's overall operational costs.
The Y83-100 Metal Baler provided a reliable and efficient solution for the South African customer’s scrap metal recycling needs. With its powerful compression force, compact design, and energy-efficient operation, the machine significantly boosted productivity while reducing operational costs. Wanshida’s commitment to quality and customer support helped the client achieve their business goals, and the partnership continues to grow as the customer expands their recycling operations.
