The vertical metal baler is a robust and space-saving recycling solution designed to compress various scrap metals—such as aluminum, steel, copper, and stainless steel—into dense, easy-to-handle bales. Engineered for small to medium-sized recycling operations, workshops, and scrap yards, this machine offers high compression force with a vertical press mechanism, reducing storage space and transportation costs while improving material handling efficiency.
How a Vertical Metal Baler Works
A vertical metal baler operates by placing loose scrap metal into the compression chamber. The powerful hydraulic cylinder pushes the platen downward, applying significant pressure to compact the material into a dense block. Once the compression cycle is complete, the bale can be manually or automatically ejected. This straightforward operation makes it a reliable choice for businesses looking for efficiency without requiring large floor space.
