Shear/baler/loggers offer the versatility of three machines in one, making them a popular choice for scrap recyclers looking to process both heavy and light metal materials. These machines work by taking metals and compacting them into a log that is then either compressed into a bale or cut to length by a shear to prepare them for transport.
When it comes to selecting the right shear/baler/logger for your facility, there are many factors to take into consideration, such as machine capacity, manufacturer support, type of metal processed, and material volumes, to name a few. All shear/baler/loggers are not created equal, so make sure you consider these tips to ensure you invest in the best possible fit for your application. Bagging Compacting Machine
Primary processing grades for scrapyards are steel #1 and #2, although the majority of facilities today process a high percentage of lighter, bulkier materials than were previously found in facilities decades ago. Stationary units with higher forces can handle heavier, bulkier materials and provide higher production rates.
Portable shear/baler/loggers typically are lower force machines and are limited to lighter material than a stationary unit. The unit's charge box may be shorter and have less side forces to handle heavier, bulkier materials.
Stationary balers are available in multi-ram compression under higher forces and will achieve high-density bales. A stationary unit will be a higher production unit compared to a portable unit.
When comparing portable balers, you should know what your markets are, what current production requirements are, and what future production requirements will be.
When comparing various models, look at:
Investing in equipment is no small decision, and it's important to evaluate not only your present needs, but any future needs that may arise as a result of changing markets and increased volumes. Buying a machine that is too small for possible future demand is a common mistake made during the buying process based on current capital or cash constraints. To avoid this, carefully consider:
