Baling

Baling of Scrap

When large quantities of stamped scrap, as found in the automotive industry, are produced, they are automatically transferred via conveyors and dosing systems into a packaging press. There, the sheets are pressed into highly compacted packages and can also be automatically packed into wagons or palletized using portal robots.

Advantages of Scrap Baling

• Space Saving: Compact packages require less storage space, which reduces storage costs.
• Cost Reduction: Transport costs decrease as more material can be transported at once.
• Improved Handling: The manageable packages facilitate loading and unloading as well as further processing of the metal scrap.
• Environmental Friendliness: More efficient storage and transport processes reduce the carbon footprint, contributing to a more environmentally friendly recycling practice.

Applications of Scrap Baling

• Scrapyards: Packaging facilitates the storage and sale of metal scrap by reducing the material to a transportable size.
• Process Industry: The packages can be efficiently further processed and recycled, increasing the plant’s productivity.
• Steel Mills: Compact packages are easier to integrate into the melting process, which increases the efficiency of steel production.
