Metal Briquetting Machine

A car baler, also known as a vehicle baler or scrap car compressor, is an industrial device specifically designed to compress large metal vehicles such as scrap cars, trucks, and buses into flat blocks or rectangular shapes. Its core purpose is to reduce the volume of vehicles through high-pressure physical compression, facilitating subsequent transportation, storage, and metal recycling.

Large Scrap Metal Briquetting Machine Product Introduction

The basic principle of an automobile flattening machine is to use the plastic deformation property of metal materials under external forces to provide sufficient external forces that can aggregate and produce deformation, thereby forming tight bundles. So metals that cannot undergo plastic deformation or have very small plastic deformation cannot be directly packaged. Products such as high carbon steel, tool steel, steel wire ropes, and cast iron cannot be directly packaged on the machine.

The core function of a car baler is to use a high-pressure hydraulic system to quickly compress scrap vehicles into high-density metal blocks, reducing their volume by more than 80% to lower transportation and storage costs. At the same time, it provides standardized raw materials for subsequent metal crushing and sorting, improving the recovery rate of resources such as steel and aluminum, and effectively preventing oil leakage and environmental pollution. Ultimately, it promotes the efficient conversion of automotive waste from “end-of-life disposal” to “resource regeneration.”

Industrial Metal Briquetting Machine Product Advantages

• The transportation of metal materials after pressing is convenient, which can effectively reduce transportation costs and increase transportation efficiency;
• After pressing, the metal is easily crushed for secondary processing;
• Block metal materials are easier to store compared to metals, which can save a lot of warehouse space;
• Pressing metal blocks facilitates application and reprocessing.

Wide range of applications for industrial metal compactors

Mainly suitable for sedans, commercial vehicles, vans, large trucks, motorcycles, electric vehicles, etc

Automobile balers, with their high-efficiency compression and environmentally friendly processing capabilities, are widely used in scrap automobile recycling and dismantling companies, automobile manufacturers’ defective product processing lines, insurance companies’ accident-damaged vehicle disposal centers, government and military vehicle disposal projects, and the front-end pre-processing stages of large-scale scrap metal smelting plants. By quickly compressing various types of scrap vehicles into standardized metal blocks, they significantly reduce transportation and storage costs while facilitating subsequent automated crushing and sorting processes. Additionally, they prevent oil leaks from polluting the environment, making them a core piece of equipment in the automotive industry’s circular economy chain for maximizing resource utilization and minimizing pollution control.

How to choose Metal Briquette Machine equipment

• Power and pressure: Different flattening machines have different power and pressure. If the metal material to be processed is thicker or harder, it is necessary to choose a machine with higher power and pressure.
• Precision and stability: The precision and stability of the flattening machine are key factors affecting product quality, so special attention should be paid when selecting.
• Operation and maintenance: The simplicity of operation and maintenance is also one of the factors that needs to be considered. If the operation and maintenance of the machine is more complex, it will increase the cost of use.
• Metal briquetting machine price: different models and sizes determine the different price range, we can customize the right briquetting machine according to the customer’s requirements for the output of the equipment, the hardness of the material.
