Y81F-250 250 Ton Scrap Metal Baler

250 Ton Scrap Metal Baler for Sale – Y81F-250 Eight-Configuration Mid-Range

A 250 ton baler earns its place by making freight pay for itself, and the Y81F-250 does exactly that.

The Y81F-250 compresses in one direction against a fixed end wall, which is why bale density stays uniform from the first charge to the last.

Buyers at this level usually arrive from a smaller machine that is now the bottleneck. The Y81F-250 is sized so the next bottleneck is the yard, not the baler.

Key highlights at a glance:

• Bale size: 450×450 / 500 mm octagonal / 500×500 / 600×600
• Bale weight: 350–700 kg
• Chamber: 2000×1400×800 / 2000×1400×900 / 2000×1750×1000 / 2000×1850×1000 / 2000×1850×1200 / 2500×2000×1000 / 2500×2000×1200
• Installed power: 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW
• Compression force: 250 ton
• Duty rating: Two-shift duty
• Discharge: turn-out side-tilting baler

Who the Y81F-250 Is Built For

This machine is bought by mid-size recyclers scaling from 200 ton class to real production volume. Typical applications cover mid-size recycling plants, metal traders, non-ferrous processors.

No two yards feed a Y81F-250 the same way, which is why the machine is offered in more than one chamber arrangement rather than a single supposedly universal size.

Where the Y81F-250 Sits in the Baler Range

Stay at 250 tons while bales clear the chamber as fast as the truck takes them; move to the Y81K-315 when the queue forms at the chamber instead of at the truck.

Buyers upgrading from this class usually move to the Y81K-315, while buyers consolidating duty look at the Y81F-200. Either way the comparison is like for like, because both tiers are built to the same specification discipline.

Applications and Materials

The Y81F-250 is specified for light to medium steel, aluminum, UBC cans, mixed non-ferrous, and the standard configuration covers mid-size recycling plants, metal traders, non-ferrous processors. Density on the Y81F-250 is a function of your material rather than an average, because mixed and lightly contaminated feed compacts differently.

Inside the plant the Y81F-250 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 Y81F-250 a 700 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 Y81F-250
Light to medium steel	standard duty, no configuration change needed
Aluminum	bales well when the feed is steady
Ubc cans	acceptable duty; density moves with bulk density
Mixed non-ferrous	suited to the Eight chamber configurations, the widest choice in the 250 ton class chamber

How the Y81F-250 Works

Charging, compressing, tying and discharging are the four steps of every cycle. On the Y81F-250 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 turn-out side-tilting baler arrangement. The finished bale is weighed, tagged and staged for the truck, and the Y81F-250 cycle repeats on the same four steps for the whole shift.

A 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW hydraulic pack drives the Y81F-250; the build is matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order, whichever your plant actually has.

The Y81F-250 runs the same four steps whatever the configuration; configuration changes bale size, not sequence.

Bale Economics: Why the 250 Ton Class Pays

The volume saving on a Y81F-250 bale is what converts baling from a machine purchase into a freight strategy: the truck leaves full, or it does not leave.

Force and dwell time decide bale density on the Y81F-250; dwell is why a finished bale keeps its section after the wires are cut.

The Y81F-250 pays for itself on freight and floor space first; any price premium for density is a bonus that follows your buyer’s spec.

Installed Power and Site Supply

The Y81F-250 power pack is 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW, between 44 and 60 kW depending on the ordered configuration, matched to 380 V, 400 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, or 60 Hz supply to order. Voltage, frequency and starting method are confirmed against your site before the pack is built, and diesel drive is offered off grid.

Choosing the Right Configuration

Most buyers order the Y81F-250 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 Y81F-250.

Chamber width also sets your crane or grab loading pattern on the Y81F-250. Check the feed opening against your existing grab or charger before ordering; retrofitting a different charging arrangement after delivery is expensive on the Y81F-250. On the Y81F-250 the configuration table above states the figure for each chamber option.

Control, Power and Discharge Options

The Y81F-250 is offered in manual, semi-automatic and PLC automatic control, with the choice driven by how closely the machine is supervised.

Feed Preparation and Material Handling

Wet or oily feed costs density on the Y81F-250. Where rain reaches your intake, covered storage returns density without any machine change.

Maintenance, Wear Parts and Spares

Hydraulic oil on the Y81F-250 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 Y81F-250.

Filter elements for the Y81F-250 power pack are the cheapest insurance in hydraulic maintenance. A blocked filter shows up as slow cycles and heat, and both shorten the life of everything downstream of it on the Y81F-250. On the Y81F-250 that check appears in the maintenance schedule shipped with your build.

Frame, Cylinder and Power Pack Build

The Y81F-250 chamber is dimensioned at 2000×1400×800 / 2000×1400×900 / 2000×1750×1000 / 2000×1850×1000 / 2000×1850×1200 / 2500×2000×1000 / 2500×2000×1200 on the drawing package, and the finished machine is measured against that figure at the works test.

Weld inspection points for the Y81F-250 are marked on the drawing package, and the frame is welded by the same crew that builds our shear and shredder frames.

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 Y81F-250 build list is: chamber 2000×1400×800 / 2000×1400×900 / 2000×1750×1000 / 2000×1850×1000 / 2000×1850×1200 / 2500×2000×1000 / 2500×2000×1200, 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW power pack, turn-out side-tilting baler discharge, and the control level your crew will actually use. Each of those four lines is a separately priced option in the Y81F-250 quotation, so the machine you order is the machine the quotation describes.

Why Buy the Y81F-250 from HUAXIN

We weld the Y81F-250 frames ourselves and assemble the power packs in the same building, which is why the machine leaves with one specification and one spares list.

No-load and load testing on the Y81F-250 is not a formality: the cycle figures in the quotation come from that test.

Our works builds the cutting and densifying equipment together, so a Y81F-250 line order integrates without an integrator in the middle.

Quotations for the Y81F-250 are issued factory direct and itemized by configuration, so nothing is hidden inside a package price. The Y81F-250 quotation lists every option separately so the comparison is on paper, not in conversation.

Honest Limits: When to Buy Something Else

Continuous running at rated output assumes steady feed. Batch charging from a single grab at intervals lowers effective output even though the machine itself is capable of the stated rate.

Safety and Operating Discipline

Bale weights on the Y81F-250 exceed manual handling limits. Forklift, crane or conveyor handling is assumed in every layout we draw on the Y81F-250.

Children, visitors and untrained staff are excluded from the Y81F-250 operating zone by rule, not by signage alone. On the Y81F-250 the operating zone is marked on the layout drawing issued with the quotation.

Footprint, Installation and Commissioning

Electrical work is the usual delay in commissioning the Y81F-250. Have your site supply, breaker rating and cable run confirmed before the machine arrives; our drawings state the connection point exactly on the Y81F-250.

Spare parts delivered with the Y81F-250 cover the standard wear kit. Longer lead-time components are worth adding to the first order if your site is far from a port on the Y81F-250. On the Y81F-250 the drawing package states the dimensions your contractor needs.

Export Shipping, Packing and Documentation

Payment terms for the Y81F-250 are confirmed in the quotation. We do not renegotiate documentation terms after the order, which is why buyers return with line orders on the Y81F-250.

Machines for Y81F-250 orders are tested in-house before packing. The load test bale usually stays on the shop floor as a sample, but documented photographs of it are provided on the Y81F-250. The Y81F-250 documentation pack lists every document included with your build.

The Y81F-250 in the 250 Ton Scrap Metal Baler Lineup

As a 250 ton scrap metal baler, the Y81F-250 is built for Two-shift duty: 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW of installed power against a 2000×1400×800 / 2000×1400×900 / 2000×1750×1000 / 2000×1850×1000 / 2000×1850×1200 / 2500×2000×1000 / 2500×2000×1200 chamber. Mid-size recyclers scaling from 200 ton class to real production volume are the typical buyers of this class, and the Y81F-250 answers them with 450×450 / 500 mm octagonal / 500×500 / 600×600 bales at 350–700 kg.

Ordering the Y81F-250 means ordering a 250 ton scrap metal baler around your material: light and medium steel, aluminum, UBC cans, mixed non-ferrous. On the Y81F-250 the chamber, bale cross-section, motor rating and control level are set from your intake at quotation, not fixed to a catalog configuration.

Every Y81F-250 quotation covers the 250 ton scrap metal baler platform: the 250 ton frame, 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW power pack, Eight chamber configurations, the widest choice in the 250 ton class, and the control level your crew will actually use. The grades the Y81F-250 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 Y81F-250 against a smaller press should weigh what the 250 ton scrap metal baler class adds: 2×22 kW / 2×30 kW of installed power against a 2000×1400×800 / 2000×1400×900 / 2000×1750×1000 / 2000×1850×1000 / 2000×1850×1200 / 2500×2000×1000 / 2500×2000×1200 chamber, 450×450 / 500 mm octagonal / 500×500 / 600×600 bales at 350–700 kg, and a Two-shift duty rating that holds those figures across a full production day.
