Aluminum Scrap Processing: 670T Horizontal Metal Baler
Aluminum Scrap Process in Thailand: 670T Horizontal Metal Baling Machine Used for Aluminum Cable Scrap Baling at ERIGHT METALS
Recently, a 670T Horizontal Metal Baling Machine manufactured by Guangdong Tongxing Hydraulic was successfully delivered to ERIGHT METALS in Thailand and is now in use for the aluminum cable scrap baling process.
Located in Gateway City Industrial Estate in Chachoengsao, Thailand, ERIGHT METALS specializes in the recycling, sorting, processing, and reuse of non-ferrous scrap metals. Its aluminum cable scrap baling process supports several stages of the recycling value chain, including scrap sorting, baling, melting and refining, secondary aluminum alloy production, and automotive aluminum alloy die casting.
Challenge: Handling and Storing Loose Aluminum Cable Scrap in Thailand
At ERIGHT METALS, the aluminum cable scrap baling process involves receiving, sorting, and preparing non-ferrous cable scrap for downstream melting and refining. This stage of the aluminum scrap process must handle large volumes of loose material efficiently. Loose cable scrap takes up valuable space, is difficult to handle, and reduces truck and container loading efficiency. ERIGHT METALS needed a reliable way to densify this material without slowing production.
The Solution: Tongxing 670T Horizontal Metal Baling Machine
To strengthen this stage of the aluminum scrap process, Tongxing Hydraulic supplied a custom-engineered 670T Horizontal Scrap Baler designed specifically for the high-density compaction of aluminum wire and cable materials.
Aluminum Cable Scrap Baling Process at ERIGHT METALS
The 670T horizontal metal baling machine is now used in Thailand to support the following aluminum cable scrap baling process flow:
- Material sorting and preparation: Aluminum cable scrap is sorted and prepared according to material type and downstream processing requirements.
- Chamber loading: Loose aluminum scrap is fed into the horizontal baling chamber for compression.
- High-density compression: The hydraulic system compresses the scrap into a compact, uniform rectangular bale.
- Bale discharge and stacking: Finished bales are discharged for forklift handling and high-density yard storage.
- Transport and remelting: Dense bales improve loading efficiency and provide a consistent feed material for melting and refining.
Project Equipment Specifications
- Machine Model: 670T Horizontal Metal Baling Machine
- Primary Material: Aluminum Cable Scrap
- Bale Size: 700 × 700 × 1500 mm
- Bale Weight: Approximately 1.2–1.5 tons per bale
- Under Certain Operating Conditions: Up to approximately 1.6 tons per bale
- Baling Cycle: Approximately 70 seconds per bale
- Motor Power: 105 kW
Project Application Results
1. Optimized Logistics: Compacting loose scrap into dense rectangular bales maximizes truck and container loads, lowering transportation costs.
2. Maximized Yard Space: Consistent bale dimensions of 700 × 700 × 1500 mm enable safe, high-density vertical stacking and free up valuable workshop space.
3. Higher Smelting Efficiency: High-density aluminum bales reduce melt loss and oxidation during downstream remelting, boosting smelting output and improving overall energy efficiency.
