A Brief Introduction of Scrap Baling Press

A Brief Introduction of Scrap Baling Press

For different needs, there are two kinds of scrap baling presses,that is hydraulic baler and horizontal baler.

Hydraulic vertical baler is a kind of baling press machine and its material is loaded from the front and compressed from the top down. Vertical baler is smaller compared to the horizontal baling press machine in size and capacity. The material baled by vertical baler need to be manually strapped. There are different kinds of hydraulic vertical balers with the compressing force from 10 tons to 60 tons for you to choose due to different waste materials, such as waste paper, cardboard, cartons, plastic bottles, used clothing, coconut fibers, used beverage containers, fabric scrap, tires, wood shavings and so on.

Horizontal Baling Press Machine is much larger both in size and capacity. The waste material is loaded from the top by conveyor or air cyclone system and compressed from the sides automatically. The horizontal baling press, equipped with PLC and touch screen, is ideal equipment for baling large quantities of recyclable materials and the capacity range can be from 1.5 tons/h to 40 tons/h (waste paper). The recyclable materials such as scrap papers, card boards, carton boxes, plastic films, and other loose materials can be fed into the baling press automatically and continuously, so the utilization of Automatic Horizontal Baling Press Machine can reduce labor cost greatly. On the other hand, these loose materials are compressed into compact tight bales which make them easier to transport and stack.

The Structure of Automatic Baling Press Machine

Frame part: machine body, conveyor, shrinking structure, wire strapping device, wire cutting device, hopper, platen, ram guiding device

Hydraulic part: motor, pump, hydraulic valve, hydraulic cylinder, pressure meter, filter, oil tank, etc.

Electric part: air switch, PLC, touch screen, operation control button, relays etc.

Applications of Large Capacity Horizontal Baling Press

1. It can be utilized in logistics, central storages, paper industry, printing plants and large waste recycling stations, etc.

2. It is suitable for baling light-puffy and loose materials such as cotton, wool, waste paper, waste carton, waste paperboard, yarn, tobacco leaf, plastic, cloth, woven bag, knitted velvet, fiber, gunny bag, wool top, hairball, cocoon, silk, hop flower, wheat straw, grass, waste plastic etc.

US Wire and Cable Recycling

The US scrap metal recycling industry which is driven by a recovering US economy, a growing Asian economy, and the growing demand for products manufactured with recycled materials, continues to grow with a value of billions of dollars. Despite the volatile economic activity across the global markets, the outlook for the metal recycling sector remains positive as the demand for scrap metal grows among both domestic and global consumers.

In America, there are also growing concerns over e-waste. In response, electronic manufacturers, regulators and recyclers are looking for more productive ways of separating copper and aluminum from insulation to create new metals by recovering scrap wires/cables.

Wires/Cables Recovery Systems in the United States

Stage1: recover up to 98% of insulated and bare wires

Using a sorting system to recognise fine metal particles with a highly-sensitive electro-magnetic sensor that can also identify insulating polymer coatings made of PVC, PP, PE or rubber with an additional high resolution near infrared sensor.

Stage2: recover up to 95% of insulated wires

The signals from both sensors are analyzed with the help of the newly developed processing technology which delivers high-precision results. This means the insulated copper/aluminum wires/cables can be safely identified and separated with up to 90% of purity.

And to achieve the final separation of metal (copper and aluminum) from the insulation layers, there are several steps included in the process:

1.Material separation: pre-sorting of copper and aluminum from insulated layers and other particles, as well as different grades metals. A number of processors in US has now established systems to get copper or aluminum from their materials. These methods may include dry systems, such as electrostatic separators, and wet separation systems that use shaker tables and cyclones.

2. Shredding: mandated by efficiency reasons in larger plants, but still optional in smaller plants

3. Granulation: usually accomplished in multiple stages

4. Screening: an optional stage that is used before or/and after final to enhance recovery

4. Density separation: where the actual separation and recovery of the copper or aluminum from the insulation occurs, using simple aspiration (an air wash of the insulation away from the metallics) and/or fluidized bed separation

5. Tailing process: various procedures, dedicated to either enhancing metals recovery or to conditioning the tailings for recovery or final disposition.

Wires/Cables Recycling Equipment Spotlights in US

Automated Recycling Products, Inc. (APPI) in America offers three models of wire stripper: the DRM, the smallest; the COMC and the REC. All these three models will strip the plastic insulation from wire diameter of 1/8” to 1 1/8”. And Cumberland offers granulators for recycling, injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and all other polymer industry processes. 

Wire and cable recycling involves the extraction of reclaimable copper and aluminum scrap, so that the resultant clean metal can be resold and reprocessed. The equipment used in that extraction process must be especially efficient to improve the purity of resulting material. To that effect, we, Amisy metal recycling machines, have been working hard to upgrade our equipment to better serve the growing market demand including the US market.

We are now supplying small-sized wire strippers, which is used for removing the insulation layer from various kinds of scrap wires with the diameter of 1 mm-42 mm; different model for different wire diameter: AMS-918A for diameter of 1 mm-25 mm, AMS-918F for diameter of 1 mm-30 mm, AMS-918KA for diameter of 1 mm-35 mm, AMS-918KOB for diameter of 1 mm-42 mm. And large-sized cable stripping machine, which is a heavy-duty stripping machine for high-volume stripping process, AMS-918B for diameter of 2 mm-85 mm, AMS-918B-1 for diameter of 10 mm-165 mm, so this machine supplied by us is mainly employed by large-scale wire/cable stripping business worldwide; also its multi-functions of processing single-core and double-core flat wires at one time contributes a lot to its popularity.

Mini AMS-400 copper wire granulator for household and small-scale recycling business; AMS-400 scrap copper wire granulator, a integrated one, for recovering automotive wires, telephone wires and cables; AMS600 copper/aluminum granulator for wires and cables with diameter that is not more than 20 mm; AMS-800 copper granulator with 99.99% purity rate for large-scale recycling business. They are the other featured wires/cables recycling equipments from us.
