Description
Y81K-2000 2000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler
2000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler for Sale – Y81K-2000 Flagship
A baler is bought on bale weight and uptime. On both counts the Y81K-2000 is built for the largest mills, national export processors.
On the Y81K-2000 the charge is compressed against the chamber end wall, tied off, and pushed or tilted out depending on the discharge option.
The Y81K-2000 comes as a complete unit: frame, chamber, power pack, controls and discharge, commissioned as one system.
Key highlights at a glance:
- Bale size: 700×700
- Bale weight: per configuration
- Chamber: 4000×3000×1700
- Installed power: 5×90 kW
- Compression force: 2000×2 ton
- Duty rating: Continuous three-shift duty
- Discharge: gantry-type heavy baler
Who the Y81K-2000 Is Built For
This class sells to the largest mills and export processors in the range, usually upgrading from a smaller baler. Typical applications cover the largest mills, national export processors.
Intake variety is the reason the Y81K-2000 is not sold as one fixed chamber; the options below are ordered per yard, not per catalogue page.
Where the Y81K-2000 Sits in the Baler Range
Sizing down to the Y81K-1500 is justified only if your intake is genuinely below what a 2000 ton chamber should carry.
This is the largest machine in the range. Buyers who need less capacity consolidate onto the Y81K-1500, and the gap between the two is deliberate rather than commercial.

Applications and Materials
The Y81K-2000 is specified for all heavy ferrous scrap at mill scale, and the standard configuration covers the largest mills, national export processors. Rather than a catalog average, bale density on the Y81K-2000 is confirmed against the material the machine is specified for.
Inside the plant the Y81K-2000 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-2000 a full kg bale occupies a fraction of the floor space of the same weight in loose form, which is what converts baling into freight savings.

| All heavy ferrous scrap at mill scale | standard duty, no configuration change needed |
How the Y81K-2000 Works
Charging, compressing, tying and discharging are the four steps of every cycle. On the Y81K-2000 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-2000 cycle repeats on the same four steps for the whole shift.
The Y81K-2000 carries a 5×90 kW power pack built for 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order; off-grid sites are served by the diesel option.
Because the Y81K-2000 cycle is a fixed sequence, operator training is short and shift handovers do not need interpretation.
Bale Economics: Why the 2000 Ton Class Pays
Volume, not weight, is what the Y81K-2000 changes about your outbound freight.
Dense, tied-under-compression bales from the Y81K-2000 stack safely and load flat, which is what freight buyers notice.
The Y81K-2000 does not change the value of your scrap; it changes how much of it fits on a truck and how little floor it takes.
Installed Power and Site Supply
The Y81K-2000 runs a 5×90 kW power pack totalling 450 kW, matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order. Machines are wired for the supply confirmed on your order, and diesel drive extends the machine to sites off the grid.
Choosing the Right Configuration
When comparing the Y81K-2000 against a larger tonnage, remember that chamber volume grows faster than press force. A higher tonnage rating does not automatically mean a heavier bale of your material on the Y81K-2000.
Most buyers order the Y81K-2000 in the middle chamber option and adjust bale size with wire and programming later. It is cheaper to standardize one configuration and train the crew on it than to run two setups on the same machine on the Y81K-2000. On the Y81K-2000 the configuration table above states the figure for each chamber option.
Control, Power and Discharge Options
Whether a Y81K-2000 runs manual or automatic, the discharge arrangement is what has to fit your building, so it is chosen early.
Feed Preparation and Material Handling
Feed preparation decides how close the Y81K-2000 runs to its quoted output. A leveled intake area with a designated grab path keeps chamber fill consistent; a heap that has to be raked first costs cycles.
Maintenance, Wear Parts and Spares
Every Y81K-2000 ships with the maintenance schedule, lubrication chart and wiring diagrams in the documentation box. The same documents are reissued free of charge if they are lost on site on the Y81K-2000.
Hydraulic oil on the Y81K-2000 should be sampled at the interval in the manual and changed on condition rather than on the calendar alone. Export sites running hot climates shorten that interval, and we state the hot-climate figure in the quotation on the Y81K-2000. On the Y81K-2000 that check appears in the maintenance schedule shipped with your build.
Frame, Cylinder and Power Pack Build
The Y81K-2000 is built from plate up: frame fabrication, chamber machining and hydraulic assembly all happen in the same shop under one drawing package.
The Y81K-2000 chamber is dimensioned at 4000×3000×1700 on the drawing package, and the finished machine is measured against that figure at the works test.
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-2000 build list is: chamber 4000×3000×1700, 5×90 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-2000 quotation, so the machine you order is the machine the quotation describes.
Why Buy the Y81K-2000 from HUAXIN
Our own shop builds the Y81K-2000 frame, so weld inspection points and repair drawings are ours to issue.
Before packing, every Y81K-2000 completes a baling cycle; the report travels with the machine and with your documentation pack.
The Y81K-2000 is sold on specification and itemization, which is why repeat buyers send the drawing package back to us.
Our works builds the cutting and densifying equipment together, so a Y81K-2000 line order integrates without an integrator in the middle. The Y81K-2000 quotation lists every option separately so the comparison is on paper, not in conversation.
Honest Limits: When to Buy Something Else
If your requirement is really continuous single-material processing at a fixed bale size, a purpose-built machine with automatic tying will serve better than the standard Y81K-2000 configuration.
Safety and Operating Discipline
Operators of the Y81K-2000 should be trained on the emergency stop positions before the first shift. Training takes an hour and is included with commissioning on the Y81K-2000.
Bale weights on the Y81K-2000 exceed manual handling limits. Forklift, crane or conveyor handling is assumed in every layout we draw on the Y81K-2000. On the Y81K-2000 the operating zone is marked on the layout drawing issued with the quotation.
Footprint, Installation and Commissioning
Payment terms, packing list, B/L, CE documents and manual copies are all stated in the quotation for the Y81K-2000; there is nothing negotiated after the order except delivery date confirmations.
If a commissioning visit is not practical, remote commissioning is available: our engineer supervises your electrician and operator over video for the first-shift run, with the on-site manual as reference. On the Y81K-2000 the drawing package states the dimensions your contractor needs.
Export Shipping, Packing and Documentation
Crating the Y81K-2000 for air freight is possible but rarely economic; we will quote it if speed matters more than freight cost to your project.
Customs classification and HS coding for the Y81K-2000 are stated on the invoice. Your broker can plan the duty before the machine arrives, not after on the Y81K-2000. The Y81K-2000 documentation pack lists every document included with your build.
The Y81K-2000 in the 2000 Ton Scrap Metal Baler Lineup
As a 2000 ton scrap metal baler, the Y81K-2000 is built for Continuous three-shift duty: 5×90 kW of installed power against a 4000×3000×1700 chamber. The largest mills and export processors in the range are the typical buyers of this class, and the Y81K-2000 answers them with 700×700 bales at per configuration.
Ordering the Y81K-2000 means ordering a 2000 ton scrap metal baler around your material: the full range of heavy steel scrap at mill scale. On the Y81K-2000 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-2000 quotation covers the 2000 ton scrap metal baler platform: the 2000 ton frame, 5×90 kW power pack, Flagship, five motors, and the control level your crew will actually use. The grades the Y81K-2000 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-2000 against a smaller press should weigh what the 2000 ton scrap metal baler class adds: 5×90 kW of installed power against a 4000×3000×1700 chamber, 700×700 bales at per configuration, and a Continuous three-shift duty rating that holds those figures across a full production day.
