The hydraulic metal baling press is the compaction press for ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, designed for scrap metal collection centres, recycling companies and end-of-life vehicle (ELV) treatment operators.
The hydraulic metal baling press is available in 9 variants: 60, 80, 100, 125, 140, 160, 200 (two configurations) and 260 tonnes, with power ratings from 11kW (60t) up to 2×30kW (260t).
The hydraulic metal baling press compacts metal scrap into dense, low-volume bales, enabling efficient transport to the smelter and maximising value per tonne of material delivered. The volume reduction achieved by the hydraulic metal baling press allows a larger volume of metal to be stored within the same storage footprint and lowers the transport cost per tonne of metal delivered. Transport, installation and commissioning included. 60-month warranty. Available variants | hydraulic metal baling press

The hydraulic metal baling press is selected at quotation stage according to the type of metal, the daily processing volume and the available space. Free technical consultancy available. Advantages of the hydraulic metal baling press
• 9 force variants 60–260 tonnes: equipment sized exactly to production volume. The hydraulic metal baling press covers the entire range of needs: from 60 tonnes for low-volume collection workshops up to 260 tonnes (2×30kW) for industrial recycling centres with continuous flows. Selecting the right variant of hydraulic metal baling press optimises the investment: an oversized press wastes electrical energy, while an undersized one limits capacity and the quality of the compacted bale.
• Efficient metal scrap compaction: the volume reduction that maximises value on delivery. The hydraulic metal baling press reduces the volume of loose metal scrap into dense, compact bales with a compaction factor of 5–15x depending on the material and the press variant chosen. The bales produced by the hydraulic metal baling press have uniform density and reproducible dimensions, which facilitates accurate weighing, stable stacking, efficient loading onto trucks and optimal processing in smelter furnaces, quality criteria that directly influence the price per tonne obtained on delivery.
• Wide material range: ferrous, aluminium, copper, stainless steel, ELV. A single piece of equipment for the entire metal range. The hydraulic metal baling press processes all categories of metal collected by a recycling centre or treated by an ELV operator: steel sheet, aluminium profiles, stripped copper conductors, stainless steel tubes, rims and vehicle bodies. This versatility of the hydraulic metal baling press eliminates the need for separate equipment per metal type and simplifies the processing flow into a single compaction station.
• Power 11–30kW (or 2×30kW for 260t): energy efficiency proportional to capacity. The hydraulic metal baling press has an installed power proportional to the pressing force: 11kW for 60 tonnes, increasing progressively up to 30kW for 200 tonnes and 2×30kW for 260 tonnes. This progression allows the selection of the hydraulic metal baling press variant with the minimum energy consumption required for the compaction force demanded by the specific metal and the desired bale density, minimising the energy cost per tonne compacted.

Waste pre-processing for controlled recycling flows.
• Compact construction: integration into limited storage and collection spaces. The hydraulic metal baling press has package dimensions from 300×150×150mm (60 tonnes) up to 600×400×400mm (260 tonnes), dimensions that reflect the compactness of the installed equipment and allow it to be positioned in collection halls with limited space, next to unloading platforms or in collection containers. This compact construction of the hydraulic metal baling press facilitates integration into the existing logistics flow of the collection centre without restructuring the production space. 60-month UZINEX warranty, national technical support within 24–48 hours.
Applications: hydraulic metal baling press
Metal scrap collection centres (scrap metal yards) use the hydraulic metal baling press as the central piece of equipment in the recovery flow: loose metal received from the public and from economic operators is compacted into standardised bales and delivered to smelters at a higher price per tonne than that obtained for loose material. The 60–125 tonne range of hydraulic metal baling press covers the typical flows of medium-sized collection centres.
Authorised end-of-life vehicle (ELV) treatment operators use the 160–260 tonne range of hydraulic metal baling press to compact bodies and metal components after removing the valuable components (engines, transmissions, vehicle batteries), preparing the material for transport to industrial shredding plants and metal separators. Frequently asked questions about the hydraulic metal baling press
How do I choose the right variant of hydraulic metal baling press?
The selection of the hydraulic metal baling press variant depends on the dominant metal type in the processing flow (thin sheet vs. thick castings), the daily processing volume in tonnes, the desired bale density for delivery and the available electrical infrastructure (available three-phase power). At quotation stage, UZINEX carries out an analysis of the production flow and recommends the optimal hydraulic metal baling press variant for the customer's specific situation. Is the hydraulic metal baling press eligible for European funding?
Yes. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and supplies equipment for projects with European funds. The hydraulic metal baling press can be listed on SEAP/SICAP in recycling, metal scrap collection and ELV treatment projects. Leasing and credit options on the UZINEX credit and leasing page .

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
