Y81K-1000 1000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler

1000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler for Sale – Y81K-1000 Continuous Mill Class

The Y81K-1000 joins a range where every tonnage class answers a different intake problem.

The Y81K-1000 compresses the charge with the main cylinder and holds pressure while the bale is wired, which is what keeps the bale from springing back.

Bale density is decided by force and dwell time, not by brand. The Y81K-1000 applies 1000×2 ton with a dwell long enough to hold the tie.

Key highlights at a glance:

• Bale size: 600×600 / 700×700
• Bale weight: 1500–1600 kg
• Chamber: 3500×3000×1400
• Installed power: 3×55 kW
• Compression force: 1000×2 ton
• Duty rating: Three-shift duty
• Discharge: gantry-type heavy baler

Who the Y81K-1000 Is Built For

If you recognize your yard in the phrase mills with continuous intake and conveyor feeding, the Y81K-1000 is the class to quote. Typical applications cover integrated mills, national-scale recyclers, conveyor-fed lines.

Two yards running the same 1000 ton class can need different chamber dimensions on the Y81K-1000, so the configuration table below is written to be ordered from, not admired.

Where the Y81K-1000 Sits in the Baler Range

A 1000 ton class baler is specified when bale weight matters more than baling speed. When speed starts to matter, the Y81K-1300 is the answer.

Buyers upgrading from this class usually move to the Y81K-1300, while buyers consolidating duty look at the Y81K-800. Both machines are built and quoted to the same discipline, so the choice between them is operational rather than commercial.

3500×3000×1400	600×600	900–1500
3500×3000×1400	700×700	1000–1600

Choose 3500×3000×1400 if furnace-direct charging describes your operation; bale size 600×600, weight 900–1500 kg.

The 3500×3000×1400 chamber produces 700×700 bales at 1000–1600 kg, which suits mill feedstock.

Applications and Materials

The Y81K-1000 is specified for heavy ferrous, HMS 1&2, continuous charge material, and the standard configuration covers integrated mills, national-scale recyclers, conveyor-fed lines. The Y81K-1000 bales mixed material at a density that depends on bulk density, which is why chamber selection is tied to your material.

Inside the plant the Y81K-1000 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-1000 a 1600 kg bale occupies a fraction of the floor space of the same weight in loose form, which is what converts baling into freight savings.

How the Y81K-1000 Works

Charging, compressing, tying and discharging are the four steps of every cycle. On the Y81K-1000 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-1000 cycle repeats on the same four steps for the whole shift.

The Y81K-1000 is driven by a 3×55 kW hydraulic pack, built for 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order and matched to your starting method.

The Y81K-1000 is deliberately boring to operate, and that is the point of the design.

Bale Economics: Why the 1000 Ton Class Pays

A bale off the Y81K-1000 is the only form of scrap that stacks, and stacking is worth floor area in every yard that has run out of it.

A Y81K-1000 bale that keeps its shape through handling is worth more per ton than one that re-expands before the scale.

On the Y81K-1000 the payback is freight plus floor space plus any premium your buyer pays for dense bales; we quote the first two.

Installed Power and Site Supply

The Y81K-1000 runs a 3×55 kW power pack totalling 165 kW, matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order. Supply is matched to your site at build, and the diesel option keeps the machine running where mains power is absent.

Choosing the Right Configuration

Repeat-order plants usually keep the same chamber configuration across the fleet so bales are interchangeable on the truck on the Y81K-1000. If you are adding to an existing line, send the bale spec you already use on the Y81K-1000.

Every Y81K-1000 leaves the shop set up and tested in the ordered configuration, so commissioning is a repeat of the works test rather than a first attempt. On the Y81K-1000 the configuration table above states the figure for each chamber option.

Control, Power and Discharge Options

On the Y81K-1000 the control level is matched to supervision rather than to ambition; manual is a legitimate specification.

Feed Preparation and Material Handling

Day one operating habits transfer to every shift on the Y81K-1000. Write the charging procedure down during commissioning and train against the document, not against memory.

Maintenance, Wear Parts and Spares

Bale quality drift is usually a maintenance signal, not a configuration problem. If bale density drops on the Y81K-1000, check cylinder dwell and hydraulic pressure before reconfiguring anything.

Planned servicing on the Y81K-1000 is a half-day per year on top of the daily walk-around. The downtime is worth planning around your seasonal scrap flow on the Y81K-1000. On the Y81K-1000 that check appears in the maintenance schedule shipped with your build.

Frame, Cylinder and Power Pack Build

The Y81K-1000 hydraulic circuit is drawn for the duty it ships for, with a 3×55 kW pack sized on compression force rather than on a catalogue default.

The 3500×3000×1400 chamber and the 1000×2 ton main cylinder of the Y81K-1000 are matched at order, not adapted after the machine is built.

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-1000 build list is: chamber 3500×3000×1400, 3×55 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-1000 quotation, so the machine you order is the machine the quotation describes.

Why Buy the Y81K-1000 from HUAXIN

In-house manufacturing of the Y81K-1000 is why the lead time is stated in the quotation and held to, rather than estimated from a supplier’s promise.

A Y81K-1000 that passes a documented load test leaves the shop with a known output baseline for your first month.

We answer inquiries on the Y81K-1000 within two business days, with an itemized quotation rather than a price.

Factory-direct supply of the Y81K-1000 means the engineer you email is the engineer who signed the test report. The Y81K-1000 quotation lists every option separately so the comparison is on paper, not in conversation.

Honest Limits: When to Buy Something Else

The Y81K-1000 is quoted factory direct for a single machine. Plants needing a full line should price the baler together with conveyor and wire-tying equipment; piecemeal procurement usually costs more in installation.

Safety and Operating Discipline

We include the safety section of the manual in the language of your crew on the Y81K-1000. If your operators read a language other than English, ask for the translated version with the order on the Y81K-1000.

Lockout and tagout applies to any work inside the Y81K-1000 chamber, including liner changes. The hydraulic lock is part of the standard machine, and its use is mandatory for maintenance on the Y81K-1000. On the Y81K-1000 the operating zone is marked on the layout drawing issued with the quotation.

Footprint, Installation and Commissioning

Training two operators minimum means the Y81K-1000 keeps running during shift changes and leave. This is the cheapest insurance on the whole installation on the Y81K-1000.

Electrical work is the usual delay in commissioning the Y81K-1000. Have your site supply, breaker rating and cable run confirmed before the machine arrives; our drawings state the connection point exactly on the Y81K-1000. On the Y81K-1000 the drawing package states the dimensions your contractor needs.

Export Shipping, Packing and Documentation

The Y81K-1000 ships with the standard spare kit unless your quotation states otherwise; additional spares are quoted at the same unit prices as post-sale spares.

Payment terms for the Y81K-1000 are confirmed in the quotation. We do not renegotiate documentation terms after the order, which is why buyers return with line orders on the Y81K-1000. The Y81K-1000 documentation pack lists every document included with your build.

The Y81K-1000 in the 1000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler Lineup

As a 1000 ton scrap metal baler, the Y81K-1000 is built for Three-shift duty: 3×55 kW of installed power against a 3500×3000×1400 chamber. Mills with continuous intake and conveyor feeding are the typical buyers of this class, and the Y81K-1000 answers them with 600×600 / 700×700 bales at 1500–1600 kg.

Ordering the Y81K-1000 means ordering a 1000 ton scrap metal baler around your material: heavy ferrous, HMS 1&2 and continuous charge material. On the Y81K-1000 the chamber, bale cross-section, motor rating and control level are set from your intake at quotation, not fixed to a catalog configuration.

Every Y81K-1000 quotation covers the 1000 ton scrap metal baler platform: the 1000 ton frame, 3×55 kW power pack, Two chamber configurations, raised chamber option, and the control level your crew will actually use. The grades the Y81K-1000 bales follow the trade specifications published by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), the standards body scrap is graded against in international trade.

Buyers comparing the Y81K-1000 against a smaller press should weigh what the 1000 ton scrap metal baler class adds: 3×55 kW of installed power against a 3500×3000×1400 chamber, 600×600 / 700×700 bales at 1500–1600 kg, and a Three-shift duty rating that holds those figures across a full production day.
