In the rapidly evolving world of metal recycling, efficiency, safety, and compactness are more important than ever. Businesses handling large volumes of scrap metals—from steel and iron to aluminum and copper—require reliable machines that not only process materials quickly but also meet the rising demand for eco-friendly, space-saving operations. That’s where the 125 Ton Horizontal Metal Baler comes in.
This heavy-duty baling machine is engineered to offer powerful compaction capabilities, streamlined operation, and long-term durability, making it the perfect investment for metal recyclers, scrapyards, manufacturing plants, and waste management facilities.
What Is a 125 Ton Horizontal Metal Baler?
A horizontal metal baler is a hydraulic machine that compresses various metal scrap materials into dense, manageable blocks (also called bales). The 125-ton rating refers to the maximum hydraulic pressing force the machine can exert—making it suitable for handling medium to large volumes of scrap with high efficiency.
Unlike vertical balers, horizontal models are designed for continuous feeding, often integrated with conveyors or hoppers, which significantly improves processing speed and automation potential.
Key Features of the 125 Ton Horizontal Metal Baler
Let’s take a closer look at the core features that make this machine a must-have for modern recycling operations:
1. High Compression Force
With a rated hydraulic force of 125 tons, this baler can easily compress a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals into tightly packed bales. This not only reduces the volume of your scrap by up to 80% but also improves logistics efficiency and storage utilization.
2. Sturdy Welded Steel Structure
The machine body is constructed from high-strength low-alloy steel plates, reinforced by internal stiffeners and durable welding. This ensures a long service life and high resistance to pressure, impact, and wear, even under 24/7 heavy-duty operation.
3. Horizontal Feeding Chamber
The horizontal structure allows for larger feeding volume and continuous feeding, making it ideal for high-throughput applications. Operators can load materials manually or with an automatic conveyor.
4. Advanced Hydraulic System
The baler is equipped with a copper-core plunger pump, dual-speed hydraulic cylinders, and a fast-pressure integrated valve, offering stable pressure, quick response, and energy efficiency.
5. PLC Control System
With a touchscreen interface and programmable logic controller (PLC), users can operate the baler with simple button controls or automatic mode, reducing labor intensity and human error.
6. Customizable Bale Size
The standard bale size ranges from 300×300 mm to 500×500 mm, and can be tailored to suit customer-specific needs. Smaller bales are easier to transport and sell to smelters or foundries.
7. Safety and Convenience
Built-in safety features such as hydraulic lock valves, emergency stop buttons, and oil temperature sensors ensure secure operation and protect both the machine and its operator.
What Materials Can It Process?
The 125 Ton Horizontal Metal Baler is capable of handling a wide range of scrap materials, including:
-
Scrap steel and iron

Advantages of Using a 125 Ton Horizontal Metal Baler
Investing in a horizontal baler with 125-ton compression force offers a range of operational, economic, and environmental benefits:
✅ Increased Profitability
Densely compacted bales are easier to store and transport, meaning lower freight costs and higher resale prices at scrap mills.
✅ Space Optimization
Reduce the volume of bulky metal waste significantly, freeing up space in your facility and keeping the workspace clean.
✅ Enhanced Efficiency
Continuous horizontal feeding means you can process more material in less time, boosting your daily output.
✅ Labor Savings
Automatic modes and user-friendly controls reduce the need for skilled labor and minimize the risk of injury.
✅ Sustainability
By encouraging the recycling of metal, your business contributes to a more circular economy and reduces the demand for virgin mining resources.
