Y81K-315 315 Ton Scrap Metal Baler

315 Ton Scrap Metal Baler for Sale – Y81K-315 Heavy Ferrous Entry

Scrap yards move up the range for one reason: the bale gets heavier and the truck gets fuller. The Y81K-315 is that step.

Charging, compressing, tying and discharging: the Y81K-315 runs the same four steps every cycle, which is what makes the cycle predictable and the crew easy to train.

Every Y81K-315 leaves the works after a no-load and load test, and the test report ships with the machine.

Key highlights at a glance:

• Bale size: 600×600 / 700×700
• Bale weight: 850–990 kg
• Chamber: 3000×2500×1200 / 3500×3000×1300
• Installed power: 2×45 kW
• Compression force: 315 ton
• Duty rating: Two to three shifts
• Discharge: gantry-type heavy baler

Who the Y81K-315 Is Built For

Our Y81K-315 customers are plants whose intake is heavy ferrous and whose bales must hold density in transit. Typical applications cover steel mills, smelting plants, heavy scrap processors.

The intake profile of the Y81K-315 matters more than the tonnage number on the nameplate; two yards of equal tonnage can need different chamber dimensions.

Where the Y81K-315 Sits in the Baler Range

The Y81K-400 exists for plants whose intake outgrew the Y81K-315. Both machines share the same control philosophy, so the transition is operational, not a relearning.

Buyers upgrading from this class usually move to the Y81K-400, while buyers consolidating duty look at the Y81F-250. The two tiers are quoted on identical specification terms, so the decision is a technical one rather than a sales one.

Applications and Materials

The Y81K-315 is specified for heavy steel scrap, HMS 1&2, section offcuts, turnings, and the standard configuration covers steel mills, smelting plants, heavy scrap processors. On the Y81K-315 mixed feed bales, but it bales differently; bale density is confirmed against your material, not a datasheet figure.

Inside the plant the Y81K-315 usually sits between intake and outbound freight: scrap is charged from the floor or a hopper, compressed to the ordered bale size, tied, and staged for the truck. On the Y81K-315 a 990 kg bale occupies a fraction of the floor space of the same weight in loose form, which is what converts baling into freight savings.

Material	Suitability for the Y81K-315
Heavy steel scrap	bales well when the feed is steady
Hms 1&2	acceptable duty; density moves with bulk density
Section offcuts	suited to the Entry class for medium-heavy ferrous duty chamber
Turnings	handled without pre-sorting when unmixed

How the Y81K-315 Works

Charging, compressing, tying and discharging are the four steps of every cycle. On the Y81K-315 the charge is compressed by the main cylinder against the chamber end wall until the bale reaches its set size, then wired off and released through the gantry-type heavy baler arrangement. The finished bale is weighed, tagged and staged for the truck, and the Y81K-315 cycle repeats on the same four steps for the whole shift.

The Y81K-315 runs on a 2×45 kW power pack at 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order, with the starting method selected against your supply.

A fixed cycle is what makes the Y81K-315 output figure something you can build a plant around.

Bale Economics: Why the 315 Ton Class Pays

For any plant the Y81K-315 bale size is what decides how many trucks leave the yard full and how many leave half empty.

Dense bales stack without collapsing, which matters on the Y81K-315 in yards where bales are stored rather than loaded straight onto trucks.

Savings on a Y81K-315 come from shipping the same weight in fewer loads, then from clearing the floor where loose scrap used to sit.

Installed Power and Site Supply

The Y81K-315 runs a 2×45 kW power pack totalling 90 kW, matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order. The pack is wired to your confirmed supply, with a diesel-driven alternative for yards that have no mains connection.

Choosing the Right Configuration

When your feed arrives in mixed lengths, the larger chamber reduces bridging at the feed opening on the Y81K-315. When it arrives pre-cropped to a target length, the smaller chamber keeps the compression stroke short and bale weight predictable on the Y81K-315.

Bale size must satisfy three parties at once: your furnace or buyer, your wire shop, and the container or truck that moves the bale. The Y81K-315 covers the common overlap; unusual bale specs are built to order. On the Y81K-315 the configuration table above states the figure for each chamber option.

Control, Power and Discharge Options

A manual station suits a Y81K-315 fed by crane at irregular intervals; PLC control pays once the bale count per shift is high enough to need it.

Feed Preparation and Material Handling

If your Y81K-315 feed includes occasional oversize pieces, a shear pass upstream protects the chamber and pays for itself in avoided jams and liner damage.

Maintenance, Wear Parts and Spares

The seal kits for the main and side cylinders of the Y81K-315 are the highest-frequency spare. Keeping one set on the shelf converts a two-week wait into a two-hour job on the Y81K-315.

The frame welds on the Y81K-315 should be inspected visually at the annual service. We supply the weld inspection points on the drawing package so your engineer knows exactly where to look on the Y81K-315. On the Y81K-315 that check appears in the maintenance schedule shipped with your build.

Frame, Cylinder and Power Pack Build

Compression on the Y81K-315 is delivered by the main cylinder against the chamber end wall at 315 ton, with the force held through the tying sequence so the finished bale keeps its section.

The 3000×2500×1200 / 3500×3000×1300 chamber of the Y81K-315 is machined after welding, so the feed opening and the end wall stay true to the drawing rather than to the weld distortion.

Customization and Optional Configurations

• Chamber size and bale cross-section matched to your buyer specification
• Motor rating and starting method matched to your local supply
• Control level: manual, semi-automatic or PLC automatic
• Diesel engine driven hydraulic power pack for off-grid sites
• Discharge type and bale tying method
• CE and other certifications for your market

The standard Y81K-315 build list is: chamber 3000×2500×1200 / 3500×3000×1300, 2×45 kW power pack, gantry-type heavy baler discharge, and the control level your crew will actually use. Each of those four lines is a separately priced option in the Y81K-315 quotation, so the machine you order is the machine the quotation describes.

Why Buy the Y81K-315 from HUAXIN

Manufacturing the Y81K-315 in-house keeps the tolerance chain short: chamber, cylinder and power pack are all drawn and built under one roof.

Each Y81K-315 is run and loaded in the shop before packing; the test report is part of the shipping documents.

A Y81K-315 ordered with downstream equipment is commissioned as a line, not as separate deliveries that have to be negotiated on site.

Technical questions on the Y81K-315 are answered by the engineers who build it, not by a sales desk with a script. The Y81K-315 quotation lists every option separately so the comparison is on paper, not in conversation.

Honest Limits: When to Buy Something Else

Bale weight figures assume the specified material. Buyers who plan to run lighter aluminum grade scrap through the Y81K-315 should expect lighter bales and quote accordingly.

Safety and Operating Discipline

Noise levels on the Y81K-315 are within the standard machine envelope; hearing protection is still the site’s decision, based on your measured floor levels rather than our generic advice.

Fire risk around the Y81K-315 comes from hydraulic oil and accumulated fines; an oil spill kit and a swept floor are the standard controls, and both are cheap. On the Y81K-315 the operating zone is marked on the layout drawing issued with the quotation.

Footprint, Installation and Commissioning

The Y81K-315 ships skid-mounted and covered, ready for container loading. Standard sizes fit open-top or flat-rack containers; oversized builds ship as separate assemblies with assembly instructions on the Y81K-315.

Pre-delivery inspection on the Y81K-315 is available at our shop, either in person or by video. Most export buyers take the video option and save the travel on the Y81K-315. On the Y81K-315 the drawing package states the dimensions your contractor needs.

Export Shipping, Packing and Documentation

For Y81K-315 shipments to landlocked destinations we quote both container and flat-rack options, so you can compare total landed cost rather than sea freight alone.

If your port requires fumigated timber or ISPM-15 compliant packing, state it with the Y81K-315 order; the option is available and the cost is shown separately. The Y81K-315 documentation pack lists every document included with your build.
