Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler for Recycling

A recycling baler is a hydraulic press that compresses loose recyclable materials — such as cardboard, paper, plastic film, PET bottles and aluminium cans — into dense, uniform bales for easier storage, transport and resale.

Material is loaded into the feeding chamber, then compacted by the main hydraulic cylinder at 20–60 tons (vertical) or 40–200 tons (horizontal) of pressing force. The finished bale is automatically tied with steel wire or PET strap and ejected, ready for direct shipping to paper mills, plastic recyclers or smelters.

ARZIR recycling balers handle a wide range of recyclables and light scrap, including:

• OCC, cardboard & corrugated boxes
• Office paper, newsprint & mixed paper
• PET bottles, HDPE containers & plastic film (LDPE, stretch film, shrink film)
• Aluminium UBC cans and light metal packaging
• Textile, clothing & non-woven fabric
• Foam (EPS / EPE), straw and agricultural waste.

Capacity depends on baler type, material and bale density. Typical throughput is:

• Vertical balers (V-30 / V-60): 150–600 kg/h, ideal for shops, warehouses and small recyclers
• Mid-size horizontal balers (H-40 / H-80): 1–4 t/h for printing plants and supermarkets
• Heavy-duty auto-tie balers (H-120 / H-200): 5–25 t/h for paper mills and large MRFs.

Fully automatic models support continuous 24/7 operation with auto-feeding and auto-strapping.

Every ARZIR recycling baler complies with CE / ISO safety standards and is equipped with:

• Interlocked safety door — main cylinder stops instantly when opened
• Emergency stop buttons at the operator panel and feeding side
• Hydraulic overload protection and pressure relief valves
• Photoelectric / light-curtain protection on the feeding opening (optional)
• Two-hand control on vertical balers for press activation
• Oil-temperature, oil-level and motor-overload monitoring with audible alarms.

Standard lead time is 30–45 days for vertical balers, 60–90 days for semi-automatic horizontal balers, and 4–6 months for fully automatic auto-tie baling lines with conveyors, pre-shredders and bale-handling systems.

All ARZIR recycling balers come with a 2-year warranty on the main frame and hydraulic system, plus lifetime technical support and a free supply of critical wear parts (knives, seals, wire-guides) during the first year.

ARZIR offers a complete range of recycling balers to match every throughput and application:

• Vertical balers (V-30 to V-60) — compact, manual-tie, for shops, supermarkets and warehouses
• Semi-automatic horizontal balers (H-40 to H-100) — for printing plants, packaging factories and small recyclers
• Fully automatic auto-tie horizontal balers (H-120 to H-200) — for paper mills, MRFs and large waste-management plants
• Two-ram balers — for mixed materials, MSW and high-value separation
• Closed-door balers for plastic film, EPS and lightweight bulky waste.

ARZIR recycling balers deliver pressing forces from 20 to 200 tons, producing bales with dimensions of 750×600 mm to 1,100×1,100 mm in cross-section and an adjustable length of 800–1,500 mm.

Bale weight ranges from 40 kg (small vertical) to over 1,200 kg (heavy-duty horizontal), with finished density of 350–550 kg/m³ for OCC and 400–600 kg/m³ for PET — meeting the loading requirements of 40-ft containers for export.

Baling turns loose, bulky recyclables into clean, uniform and high-value bales. Key benefits include:

• Up to 90% volume reduction — far lower storage and transport cost
• 2–3× higher selling price compared to loose recyclables
• Full container loading (20–25 t / 40-ft HQ) for profitable export
• Cleaner, safer and more organized workshop and yard
• Easier compliance with environmental regulations and ESG reporting
• Short payback period — typically 8–18 months.

ARZIR recycling balers are controlled by Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500 PLC with a 7"–10" industrial HMI touchscreen, supporting fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual modes with multi-language interface (EN / ES / FR / RU / AR).

Optional upgrades include auto-tie wire systems, automatic bale ejection & turning, remote IoT diagnostics, production data logging, weight scale integration and connection to upstream conveyors, shredders and downstream bale-handling robots.
