Metal baler machine is an essential machine in the metal recycling and smelting industry. It is designed to compress and bale various types of scrap metal into dense, easy-to-handle blocks, which greatly reduces storage space and transportation cost. This machine is widely used in recycling plants, metal processing factories, and scrap yards, making it a key equipment for improving recycling efficiency.
Applicable Materials of The Scrap Metal Baler
Scrap metal baler can handle a wide range of materials, including:
- Scrap steel, iron, and copper
- Aluminum scrap, aluminum cans, and aluminum shavings
- Disassembled car shells
- Used oil drums and light metal sheets
- Steel shavings and other metal leftovers
By compressing these materials into cubic or cylindrical blocks, it simplifies storage, transportation, and furnace feeding for re-melting.
Machine Types – Vertical and Horizontal
We offer two types of metal baler machines to meet different customer needs:
- Vertical Metal Baler – Compact design, suitable for aluminum cans, tin cans, and light metal scrap. Ideal for small and medium-sized recycling facilities with limited space.
- Horizontal Metal Scrap Baling Machine – Designed for large-scale operations, suitable for heavy scrap metal, car shells, and bulky materials. Equipped with higher pressing force and continuous feeding options for higher productivity.

Scrap Metal Baler Specifications
Our horizontal metal baler machines are available in a wide range of models to precisely match your production needs. The nominal pushing force of these machines ranges from 125 tons to over 400 tons, capable of handling various compression tasks from lightweight metals to heavy steel scrap.
To accommodate different feed volumes and material sizes, we offer compression chambers in various specifications, with dimensions selectable by model. Similarly, the final bale dimensions are diverse, with cross-sections ranging from 300x300mm to 600x600mm to meet different smelting furnace and transportation requirements.
In terms of production efficiency, our equipment covers a broad range, processing from approximately 1.2 to over 13 tons per hour, ensuring that both small recycling yards and large processing centers can find a suitable capacity. The motor power is matched to the machine’s pushing force and efficiency, and we also provide diesel engine options for job sites without a stable power supply.
Scrap Metal Baler FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1.How should I choose a baler based on my scrap material type?
Choosing the right metal baler machine is closely linked to your raw materials. Heavy materials like steel scrap should be processed with a high-pressure horizontal baler, while lighter, thinner materials such as aluminum cans are better suited for vertical or front-push-out balers.
2.What baling force (tonnage) do I need?
The required force (tonnage) depends on two main factors: the type of material you are processing and your desired bale density. Generally, processing steel scrap requires greater force than processing aluminum. Higher density means more weight in the same volume, which leads to significant savings in transportation and storage costs. Our technical experts can recommend the most suitable tonnage based on your specific materials and business goals.
3.What shape are the finished bales? Can they be customized?
4.Is the equipment easy to maintain?
Yes. Our metal baler machines use a hydraulic drive system and feature a compact design, making both operation and maintenance relatively simple.
Choosing the Right Equipment for Different Forms of Scrap Metal
Choosing the right equipment is crucial for handling diverse scrap metal. A scrap metal baler is ideal for compacting loose scrap, but different tools are needed for other materials. A gantry shear cuts oversized, heavy scrap like steel beams into manageable sizes. For complex items like cars or appliances, a metal shredder is used to reduce volume and separate different materials. Matching the machine—baler, shear, or shredder—to your scrap type is key to operational efficiency.
