Recently, Openex provided a batch of medium and thick sheet fabrication for customers in the metal baling industry.
Customers have high requirements for machining accuracy and welding quality. All departments of Openex cooperate closely, using Tongkuai laser cutting machine for cutting, and a beveling robot for beveling, to ensure processing accuracy. In the welding link, the electrode surfacing machine is used for welding processing, which fully guarantees the welding quality. Finally, the product was delivered with high quality and was recognized by customers.
Metal Baler
The compressed metal bales produced by the baler are usually uniform in shape and tightly bound with wires or straps to maintain their integrity. These bales can be stacked, stored, and transported more efficiently, saving space and reducing transportation costs. Additionally, compacted metal is easier to handle during recycling or further processing operations.
Metal balers offer several advantages, including:
- Space savings: By compressing metal scraps into dense bales, balers reduce the amount of space required for storage and transportation.
- Efficient handling: Compact bales are easier to handle with machinery, reducing the need for manual labor and improving overall operational efficiency.
- Improved recycling: The use of metal balers promotes recycling by preparing metal waste for processing and reusing valuable materials.
- Cost savings: By reducing transportation costs and maximizing storage capacity, metal balers can help save money in scrap metal management.
Metal balers come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different types and volumes of metal scraps. They can be operated manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically, depending on the specific requirements of the facility.
Fabrication of metal balers
The fabrication process of metal balers involves several steps to construct a functional machine capable of compressing and compacting metal scraps.
- Material Selection: Based on the design specifications, appropriate materials are selected for constructing the metal baler. This typically includes high-strength steel for the main frame and structural components, as well as hydraulic components, electrical components, and other necessary parts.
- Cuttingand Shaping: The selected materials are cut and shaped according to the design. This can be done using various methods such as plasma cutting, laser cutting, or machining. Precision is important to ensure accurate assembly and proper functioning of the baler.
- Beveling: After the cutting is completed, the edge of the material should be beveled, and the beveling is to ensure the quality of the next weld.
- Weldingand Assembly: The cut and shaped parts are then welded and assembled to construct the main frame and components of the metal baler. Welding techniques such as arc welding or gas metal arc welding (MIG) are commonly used to join the metal pieces together. Attention to weld quality and structural integrity is crucial to ensure the baler’s strength and durability.
- Hydraulic System Installation: Metal balers rely on hydraulic systems to generate the necessary force for compressing the metal scraps. The hydraulic components, including pumps, cylinders, valves, and hoses, are installed and connected to the main frame. The hydraulic system is designed to provide sufficient pressure and control for the compressing ram.
- Blade or Shear Installation: Metal balers often include blades or shears to cut larger metal pieces into smaller sizes before compression. These cutting tools are installed and aligned properly within the baler’s press chamber, ensuring efficient cutting during the compression process.
It’s important to note that the fabrication process may vary depending on the specific design and manufacturer. Advanced fabrication facilities may utilize advanced technologies and automation for certain steps. Additionally, compliance with safety standards and regulations is crucial throughout the fabrication process to ensure the safety of the operators and the functionality of the final product.
