Y81Q-200 200 Ton Scrap Metal Baler

200 Ton Scrap Metal Baler for Sale – Y81Q-200 Horizontal Side-Press

The Y81Q-200 takes aluminum, copper, UBC cans, light steel — anything sold on density and returns φ150×500 bales in the 1000×800×500 (welded) chamber.

Material is loaded into the Horizontal side-press: 80 t×2 main cylinders, 200 t side cylinder, 50 t door cylinder, 3 t tipping cylinder chamber and compressed by the main cylinder until the bale reaches its set weight, then tied and discharged.

The Y81Q-200 is quoted with the chamber configuration chosen at order, because Horizontal side-press: 80 t×2 main cylinders, 200 t side cylinder, 50 t door cylinder, 3 t tipping cylinder changes both bale size and output.

Key highlights at a glance:

• Bale size: φ150×500
• Bale weight: 120 kg
• Chamber: 1000×800×500 (welded)
• Installed power: 22 kW
• Compression force: 200 ton (side-press)
• Duty rating: Single to two shifts
• Discharge: horizontal side-press baler

Who the Y81Q-200 Is Built For

The customer profile is non-ferrous processors who need high-density cylindrical bales, with Single to two shifts running. Typical applications cover non-ferrous smelters, UBC processors, aluminum alloy plants.

Feed profile decides the chamber on the Y81Q-200, which is why the options below are ordered per yard rather than sized by tonnage alone.

Where the Y81Q-200 Sits in the Baler Range

Upsizing to the Y81T-500 is usually triggered by freight cost per ton, not by the baler itself wearing out.

Buyers upgrading from this class usually move to the Y81T-500, while buyers consolidating duty look at the Y81Q-135. Both tiers are quoted in the same itemized format, so the difference between them is visible without asking.

Applications and Materials

The Y81Q-200 is specified for aluminum, copper, UBC cans, light steel — anything sold on density, and the standard configuration covers non-ferrous smelters, UBC processors, aluminum alloy plants. The Y81Q-200 handles mixed intake; we simply confirm bale density against your material before order.

Inside the plant the Y81Q-200 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 Y81Q-200 a 120 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 Y81Q-200
Aluminum	acceptable duty; density moves with bulk density
Copper	suited to the Horizontal side-press: 80 t×2 main cylinders, 200 t side cylinder, 50 t door cylinder, 3 t tipping cylinder chamber
Ubc cans	handled without pre-sorting when unmixed
Light steel — anything sold on density	best results with continuous feeding

How the Y81Q-200 Works

Charging, compressing, tying and discharging are the four steps of every cycle. On the Y81Q-200 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 horizontal side-press baler arrangement. The finished bale is weighed, tagged and staged for the truck, and the Y81Q-200 cycle repeats on the same four steps for the whole shift.

The Y81Q-200 is powered by a 22 kW unit, built to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order, with a diesel-driven pack available where mains power does not reach.

The Y81Q-200 was specified so that the operator controls one thing well: the charge.

Bale Economics: Why the 200 Ton Class Pays

A Y81Q-200 bale that matches your buyer’s acceptance spec is worth more per ton than a denser bale that has to be broken and re-baled.

Bales off the Y81Q-200 are finished under load, so the delivered bale matches the specified weight rather than an optimistic estimate.

Three lines decide Y81Q-200 payback: freight, floor space and bale price; the first two are arithmetic, the third is negotiation.

Installed Power and Site Supply

The Y81Q-200 runs a 22 kW power pack totalling 22 kW, matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order. Supply, frequency and starting method are set at order, and the diesel-driven pack suits yards beyond the grid.

Choosing the Right Configuration

Every Y81Q-200 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.

Bale density is a chamber question, not a motor question. On the Y81Q-200 the stated density assumes the ordered chamber with the material the machine is specified for; lighter feed produces lighter bales at the same chamber size. On the Y81Q-200 the configuration table above states the figure for each chamber option.

Control, Power and Discharge Options

Control on the Y81Q-200 ranges from a manual station to a PLC cell, and the step between them is quoted as an option rather than assumed.

Feed Preparation and Material Handling

If your intake arrives mixed, charge the Y81Q-200 with the heavier fraction first and follow with lighter scrap, so the bale is densified against a dense core rather than a hollow one.

Maintenance, Wear Parts and Spares

Planned servicing on the Y81Q-200 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 Y81Q-200.

Wire guides and tying hooks wear faster than buyers expect on the Y81Q-200, because they see every bale. Ordering a spare set with the machine costs a fraction of ordering it after the first failure on the Y81Q-200. On the Y81Q-200 that check appears in the maintenance schedule shipped with your build.

Frame, Cylinder and Power Pack Build

The 1000×800×500 (welded) chamber and the 200 ton (side-press) main cylinder of the Y81Q-200 are matched at order, not adapted after the machine is built.

The Y81Q-200 power pack is a 22 kW unit, assembled and run-tested before dispatch, and the test record stays with the build for any future spares enquiry.

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 Y81Q-200 build list is: chamber 1000×800×500 (welded), 22 kW power pack, horizontal side-press baler discharge, and the control level your crew will actually use. Each of those four lines is a separately priced option in the Y81Q-200 quotation, so the machine you order is the machine the quotation describes.

Why Buy the Y81Q-200 from HUAXIN

Fabrication and assembly of the Y81Q-200 happen in the same works as our shear and shredder range, which is why line orders integrate cleanly.

We would rather find a fault in our own shop on a Y81Q-200 than on your floor during commissioning.

Factory-direct supply of the Y81Q-200 means the engineer you email is the engineer who signed the test report.

Spares for the Y81Q-200 ship from the same store as the rest of our range, which keeps one stock list for your whole plant. The Y81Q-200 quotation lists every option separately so the comparison is on paper, not in conversation.

Honest Limits: When to Buy Something Else

The Y81Q-200 is sold as a machine, not as a plant guarantee. If your process needs engineered throughput commitments, ask for a line proposal so the assumption chain is documented.

Safety and Operating Discipline

Lockout and tagout applies to any work inside the Y81Q-200 chamber, including liner changes. The hydraulic lock is part of the standard machine, and its use is mandatory for maintenance on the Y81Q-200.

Two-person operation is recommended during commissioning and after any major service on the Y81Q-200, when the first cycles are re-established. On the Y81Q-200 the operating zone is marked on the layout drawing issued with the quotation.

Footprint, Installation and Commissioning

The Y81Q-200 quotation includes the drawing package for foundation and services. Sending it to your civil contractor early removes the most common commissioning delay on the Y81Q-200.

Bale storage should be planned before the Y81Q-200 is ordered. Stacked bales of the stated weight need rack or floor allowance; most sites underestimate bale staging space on the Y81Q-200. On the Y81Q-200 the drawing package states the dimensions your contractor needs.

Export Shipping, Packing and Documentation

We keep a build record for every Y81Q-200 that leaves the shop, which means spares quoted years later match what was actually built.

Lead time for the Y81Q-200 runs from deposit clearance. The confirmed date is written into the order, and any change is communicated with the reason, not after the fact on the Y81Q-200. The Y81Q-200 documentation pack lists every document included with your build.

The Y81Q-200 in the 200 Ton Scrap Metal Baler Lineup

As a 200 ton scrap metal baler, the Y81Q-200 is built for Single to two shifts: 22 kW of installed power against a 1000×800×500 (welded) chamber. Non-ferrous processors who need high-density cylindrical bales are the typical buyers of this class, and the Y81Q-200 answers them with φ150×500 bales at 120 kg.

Ordering the Y81Q-200 means ordering a 200 ton scrap metal baler around your material: aluminum, copper, UBC cans and light steel – anything sold on density. On the Y81Q-200 the chamber, bale cross-section, motor rating and control level are set from your intake at quotation, not fixed to a catalog configuration.

Every Y81Q-200 quotation covers the 200 ton scrap metal baler platform: the 200 ton frame, 22 kW power pack, Horizontal side-press: 80 t×2 main cylinders, 200 t side cylinder, 50 t door cylinder, 3 t tipping cylinder, and the control level your crew will actually use. The grades the Y81Q-200 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 Y81Q-200 against a smaller press should weigh what the 200 ton scrap metal baler class adds: 22 kW of installed power against a 1000×800×500 (welded) chamber, φ150×500 bales at 120 kg, and a Single to two shifts rating that holds those figures across a full production day.
