Y81-QF-630 630 Ton Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler

The Y81-QF-630 is a heavy-duty hydraulic scrap metal baler developed for large-volume metal recycling and scrap processing applications.

The machine is equipped with a large 3500 × 3000 × 1300 mm compression chamber, two main compression cylinders, two side compression cylinders and a hydraulic bale discharge system.

With a bale cross-section of 700 × 700 mm and adjustable bale length from 600 to 2000 mm, the machine can compress bulky steel scrap into dense and manageable bales for transportation, storage and furnace charging.

The Y81-QF-630 adopts PLC automatic control and remote operation, helping operators control the compression and bale discharge processes from a safer working position.

Main Features of the Y81-QF-630 Scrap Metal Baler

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Compression System

The machine uses two main compression cylinders with a rated thrust of 6300 kN. Two side compression cylinders provide additional compression from the side of the chamber.

This multi-directional compression design helps reduce the volume of bulky scrap and form compact rectangular metal bales.

Large 3500 × 3000 mm Loading Chamber

The compression chamber measures:

3500 × 3000 × 1300 mm

The large feed opening is suitable for handling oversized and irregular metal scrap. Materials can be loaded into the chamber by crane, grabber, excavator or other material-handling equipment.

Adjustable Bale Length

The standard bale cross-section is:

700 × 700 mm

The bale length can be adjusted from approximately:

600 to 2000 mm

The adjustable bale length allows the operator to match the bale weight and dimensions with transportation, storage or furnace-charging requirements.

High-Density Steel Scrap Bales

For suitable steel scrap materials, the finished bale density can reach:

≥2000 kg/m³

Actual bale density depends on the type, thickness, shape and initial density of the scrap material.

PLC Automatic Control

The Y81-QF-630 is controlled by a PLC system and supports remote operation.

The operating system controls the main compression, side compression, chamber cover, locking and bale discharge processes.

Automation helps standardize the baling cycle and reduce dependence on manual hydraulic valve operation.

Front Bale Discharge

After compression, the finished bale is discharged from the front of the machine by a hydraulic bale turnover cylinder.

This discharge method is suitable for arranging the baler with downstream bale collection, weighing or transportation equipment.

Technical Specifications

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed around three 45 kW motors and three A4V-250 hydraulic pumps.

Each hydraulic pump has a rated displacement of 250 ml/r and a nominal pressure of 31.5 MPa. The working pressure of the machine hydraulic system is controlled at no more than 25 MPa.

The large hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of approximately 5000 litres. Around 4500 litres of suitable hydraulic oil are required for normal operation.

A GLB-25 water cooler is installed to control the hydraulic oil temperature during continuous operation.

The final cooling-water system should be designed according to the local ambient temperature, water quality and operating hours.

Typical Materials

The Y81-QF-630 hydraulic metal baler can be configured for processing various bulky ferrous scrap materials, including:

• Steel plate offcuts
• Structural steel scrap
• Steel fabrication waste
• Heavy industrial metal scrap
• Mixed steel scrap
• Large and irregular steel pieces
• Scrap generated by steel processing plants
• Recyclable metal collected by large scrap yards

Material photos, maximum material dimensions and material thickness should be confirmed before production.

For very thick, oversized or high-strength steel scrap, pre-shearing may be required before loading the material into the baler.

Typical Applications

Metal Recycling Yards

The large chamber allows recycling companies to process bulky scrap and reduce the space required for storage.

Steel Mills

Compressed steel scrap bales can be prepared for transportation and furnace charging according to the steel mill’s size and density requirements.

Metal Fabrication Plants

Steel plate edges, structural offcuts and production waste can be compressed into manageable bales.

Scrap Collection Centers

Loose metal scrap can be compacted to improve storage organization and facilitate loading onto trucks or vessels.

Industrial Waste Processing Facilities

The machine can be integrated into a large metal recycling line with cranes, grabbers, conveyors, weighing systems and bale-handling equipment.

Benefits of Using a Heavy-Duty Metal Baler

Reduced Scrap Volume

Compressing loose and bulky steel scrap significantly reduces the space occupied by the material.

Easier Transportation

Uniform rectangular bales are easier to lift, stack and transport than loose irregular scrap.

Improved Storage Management

Finished bales can be arranged more efficiently in warehouses, scrap yards and loading areas.

Controlled Bale Dimensions

The 700 × 700 mm bale section and adjustable bale length make it easier to match different downstream handling requirements.

Safer Remote Operation

The remote-control system allows the operator to observe the machine without standing directly beside the compression chamber.

Suitable for Large Scrap Processing Projects

The large chamber, multiple hydraulic cylinders and 135 kW installed power make the Y81-QF-630 suitable for demanding industrial scrap recycling applications.

Machine Dimensions and Installation Requirements

The overall dimensions of the machine are approximately:

9500 × 8555 × 3085 mm

When the chamber cover is fully opened, the total machine height is approximately:

4660 mm

The recommended installation area is approximately:

10.2 × 9.8 metres

Additional space should be reserved for:

• Material loading equipment
• Bale removal
• Hydraulic station maintenance
• Electrical control cabinet access
• Cooling-water equipment
• Operator access
• Spare parts handling

The customer should prepare a reinforced concrete foundation according to the final foundation drawing supplied after order confirmation.
