Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd

Market Background Saudi Arabia’s scrap recycling industry is moving into a more “industrialized” phase. Large volumes of scrap are generated from infrastructure expansion, construction offcuts, and industrial maintenance—often arriving as bulky, irregular heavy scrap that quickly consumes yard space. At the same time, transport efficiency is becoming a major cost driver: loose scrap creates low loading density, more truck trips, and longer yard turnaround. Many operators are also under pressure to standardize output so downstream buyers can handle and charge material more smoothly. In this environment, high-capacity hydraulic metal balers are increasingly seen as a strategic asset—helping yards densify scrap, stabilize dispatch rhythm, and improve profitability per ton. Customer & Application Scenario A Saudi recycler needed a heavy-duty baling solution for mixed heavy scrap with higher thickness and wide size variation. Their main pain points were: Yard congestion caused by large, loose scrap piles and repeated re-handling Low loading efficiency (voids and “air gaps” during trucking) leading to higher logistics cost per ton Inconsistent outbound form that made stacking and dispatch planning difficult Safety and labor pressure from frequent manual repositioning of heavy scrap The customer wanted one reliable high-force baler that could produce dense, standardized bales suitable for stacking and truck loading, with operation that could stay consistent across shifts. Our Solution To match the application, Jiangsu Wan Shida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 unit of a 1500-ton class heavy-duty hydraulic metal baler with PLC automatic control and remote operation. The press chamber size was selected to accept larger scrap batches per cycle, while the bale format targeted a dense, stackable output. On site, finished bales are typically handled and removed by grapple/crane, which fits Saudi yards that rely on heavy material handling equipment for safer, faster movement. Customer Feedback (Early Operation) After commissioning, the customer reported improvements that showed up quickly on the yard floor: Better yard order: loose scrap volume reduced substantially after baling, freeing lanes and simplifying stockpile management. Tighter loading: denser bales improved truck utilization and reduced wasted volume. More stable dispatch rhythm: predictable cycles helped align baling output with truck scheduling. Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included) Below are the key specs used for selection, layout planning, and performance expectations: Item Specification Product Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Metal Baler (1500-ton class) Quantity 1 unit Main pressing force 14805 kN (≈1500-ton class) Press room size (L×W×H) 3500 × 3000 × 1500 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (700–2000) × 700 × 700 mm Bale density ≥ 2400 kg/m³ Max scrap thickness ≤ 10 mm (common steel) Bale weight (steel scrap) 1200–2400 kg Cycle time (no-load) ~120 seconds Control Manual + PLC automatic (with remote) Cooling Water cooling system Hydraulic pumps A4V250 + A4V250 (tandem), 31.5 MPa; 3 sets Servo motors 94 kW × 3 Oil tank ~10,000 L Power supply 380V / 50Hz Total power ~299.2 kW Customer Feedback (What Mattered Most) The customer’s key takeaway was that standardized dense bales made everything downstream easier—stacking became cleaner, loading became more efficient, and dispatch planning became less reactive. For heavy scrap, the combination of a large press room and high force output helped reduce the constant “reposition and re-handle” cycle that previously slowed their yard. Key Takeaway This Saudi project highlights a clear trend: as volumes rise and logistics costs remain critical, scrap operators gain advantage by investing in high-capacity hydraulic metal balers that produce dense, standardized bales. With a 3500×3000×1500 mm press room, ≥2400 kg/m³ target density, and PLC automatic control with remote operation, this 1500-ton class baler supports a repeatable “sort → bale → stack → load” workflow—helping yards improve space utilization, loading efficiency, and overall dispatch stability.

Market Background: Why Senegal’s scrap market is moving toward “standard bales” Senegal’s recycling and scrap trading ecosystem is becoming more structured year by year. More metal flows are being collected from urban construction, infrastructure projects, workshops, and import-related industrial activity. At the same time, logistics costs remain a major variable, and buyers increasingly prefer cleaner, more consistent scrap formats that are easier to handle, stack, and transport. For many yards, the competitive gap is no longer only “who can buy more scrap,” but who can process it into a more shippable, standardized product. This is why the market outlook strongly favors baling and densification: when loose scrap is turned into uniform bales, yards gain better control of space, safety, and shipping schedules. Standard bales also improve commercial efficiency—because consistent size and stable density reduce disputes, reduce rework, and speed up dispatch. In short, Senegal’s market is trending toward operators who can deliver predictable output with repeatable workflows, not ad-hoc handling. Customer & Application Scenario: The pain points that triggered the upgrade A Senegal-based recycling operator processing mixed scrap metal was facing several classic bottlenecks that directly affected profit per ton: Loose scrap “eats” space fast: stockpiles spread out, block lanes, and reduce the effective working area of the yard. More re-handling = more cost: cranes/forklifts spend time repositioning material instead of loading outbound trucks; labor intensity rises and productivity drops. Loading inefficiency (“air gaps”): when scrap is not densified, trucks leave with unused volume, which increases freight cost per ton and makes shipping less predictable. Unstable stacking and safety risk: irregular piles are harder to stabilize, increasing the risk of collapse and slowing down daily operations. Dispatch rhythm becomes chaotic: when loading takes longer than expected, trucks queue, the yard gets congested, and daily shipment plans slip. The customer needed one reliable station that could convert bulky loose scrap into uniform bales and restore a predictable “sort → ship” rhythm. Our Solution: Y83-250A push-out hydraulic metal baler (PLC + remote) To match these needs, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 unit of the Y83-250A push-out type hydraulic metal baler. The push-out discharge design supports faster bale ejection and cleaner staging into the stacking/loading zone, helping build a repeatable routine: sort → feed → compress → push-out → stack → load. With PLC automatic control and remote operation, the customer aimed to simplify shift execution and reduce operator variability. Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included) The customer’s selection focused on measurable parameters that support output planning, yard layout design, and shipping efficiency: Item Y83-250A (Push-Out) Hydraulic Metal Baler Quantity 1 unit Nominal force (main cylinder) 2500 kN (250-ton class) Hydraulic system pressure 22 MPa Press box size (L×W×H) 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (200–1000) × 500 × 500 mm Max scrap thickness 6 mm Cycle length Approx. 120 sec Hydraulic pump 160YCY14-1B, 31.5 MPa, 160 ml/r, 2 sets Motor Y225M-6, 980 rpm, 30 kW, 2 sets Wear plates material Hardox 500 Weight About 21 ton Customer Feedback: What improved first in daily operations After commissioning, the customer reported improvements that were immediately visible on the yard floor: More orderly stockpiles: bales replaced scattered piles, freeing lanes and making equipment routes clearer. Tighter truck loading: standardized 500×500 bales stacked more efficiently, reducing voids and improving loading discipline. Less repeated re-handling: faster bale discharge and cleaner staging reduced “pick-move-reposition” time. More predictable dispatch: once output became standardized, shipment planning became simpler and daily schedules were easier to control. Conclusion: Why this matters for Senegal’s next stage of recycling growth This Senegal project reflects a broader market direction: as volumes increase and logistics pressure stays high, standardization becomes profit. A single, properly sized 250-ton push-out hydraulic metal baler can shift a yard from reactive handling to a controlled workflow. With a 2000×1400×900 mm press box, adjustable bale length (200–1000 mm), 500×500 mm bale cross-section, and an ~120-second cycle, the customer gained a more predictable “sort → bale → ship” process—supporting better yard flow, tighter loading, and smoother dispatch as Senegal’s scrap market continues to mature.
