Scrap & steel
Metal baling presses and heavy-duty hydraulics for scrap yards and foundries, where loads are heavy, materials are abrasive and downtime is expensive.
Scrap metal is bulky, sharp and heavy. Loose, it fills the yard, costs more to transport and sells for less than dense, uniform bales. The equipment that handles it, such as balers, grapples and cylinders, works under shock loads all day, so weak structures and undersized hydraulics fail early.
The horizontal metal baler (PSG-RECM), from 40 to 150 t, compresses steel and aluminium scrap into bales of 400 to 1250 kg and reduces volume by up to 90 %. A larger metal-scrap recycling press is currently in development. For handling, we repaired an imported five-jaw scrap grapple for a client in Al-Sharqia and built a new, improved unit to the same specification.
We also make mill-type cylinders for heavy, continuous duty, and our cylinder repair service covers the cylinders on your existing equipment. Tell us the scrap type, the daily tonnage you process and the bale size your buyer wants.
Case studies
Questions
What bale weight will I get?
Bale weight depends on the baler and on the material: the same chamber produces a heavier bale from dense material than from light film or foam. As a guide, our vertical baler makes bales of 40 to 450 kg, the horizontal baler 95 to 1250 kg and the metal baler 400 to 1250 kg.
Tell us the bale weight your buyer accepts and the material, and we will size the machine to reach it.
What is the difference between mill-type and tie-rod cylinders?
A tie-rod cylinder is held together by steel rods running outside the tube between the two end caps. It is compact, standardised and easy to service, and suits general machinery at moderate pressures. We make them to metric ISO classes of 160–200 bar and to NFPA ratings of 2500–3000 psi.
A mill-type cylinder has heavy end caps bolted to flanges on the tube, with no external tie rods. It is built for heavy, continuous duty and shock loads. We make them in 160, 180 and 250 bar classes.
