Product Overview

The Y81T-315 hydraulic scrap metal baler is a heavy-force compression machine built for forming dense scrap bales from loose metal feedstock. Its most important technical marker is the 3150 kN main cylinder thrust, supported by two 1600 kN side pressure cylinders and a 1250 kN cover door cylinder. This makes the page especially suitable for buyers who search by compression class and cylinder force rather than by general machine category alone.

The chamber size, bale size, density, cycle time, and throughput figures in the specification sheet further support its positioning as a structured hydraulic baler for industrial scrap compression.

Applications

This model is appropriate for scrap operations that need stronger hydraulic compression for loose steel scrap before transport or further processing. Because the PDF gives output data specifically for steel scrap, that remains the most reliable material reference for this page version.

It may fit scrap yards, steel recycling plants, and transfer operations that compare balers by tonnage class, cylinder size, and bale formation ability rather than by generic machine descriptions.

Core Advantages

3150 kN main compression force

The machine’s primary technical advantage is its 3150 kN main compression cylinder, which defines its 315-ton class positioning.

Side compression support

The 1600 kN × 2 side pressure cylinders contribute to the compression sequence and help organize the scrap mass inside the chamber before final bale formation.

Full hydraulic action sequence

The machine specification also includes a 1250 kN cover door cylinder, a 630 kN bale push-out cylinder, and 630 kN × 2 door lock cylinders, which together describe a complete hydraulic action layout rather than a single-cylinder force claim.

Defined output and control

The baler is not only about force. The PDF also specifies bale density, chamber size, cycle time, and PLC control, which are essential when force needs to translate into a usable bale output.

How It Works

Metal scrap is loaded into the 3000 × 2000 × 1200 mm compression chamber. The main cylinder applies the primary compression force, while the side pressure cylinders and cover door cylinder assist in shaping and compacting the material. Once the bale is formed, the machine uses a side push-out mechanism to discharge it. The operation is managed through PLC automatic control with remote controller.

The final bale size is listed as (600–1000) × 600 × 600 mm, giving buyers a clear output format tied to the hydraulic compression system.

How To Choose

Choose this version of the product page when your visitors are likely to compare machines by tonnage, main cylinder force, and hydraulic structure. If your buyer asks first about force class, then the 3150 kN main thrust and 1600 kN × 2 side cylinders should be the most visible numbers on the page.

This model is a better fit when compression structure matters as much as output rate. If a buyer only needs light compaction, the full cylinder arrangement may be more than necessary. If they need a defined multi-cylinder hydraulic compression layout, this machine is easier to justify through the published data.

What Problem It Solves

Some scrap operations struggle not because they lack a baler, but because they lack enough compression structure to form consistent dense bales from loose, irregular material. This machine solves that problem by combining a 3150 kN main cylinder, side compression cylinders, and cover door force into one coordinated hydraulic layout.

It also helps buyers move beyond vague “heavy-duty” language by providing actual cylinder thrust figures across the full compression and discharge sequence.
