Metal Unpacking Machine


Product Overview

The Metal Unpacking Machine is specially designed for unpacking compressed metal bales such as scrap steel, aluminum, and copper blocks. Powered by a hydraulic system, it efficiently breaks and loosens dense metal packages, preparing them for further crushing, sorting, or smelting. With high automation and strong structure, it is an essential pre-treatment equipment in metal recycling and regeneration plants.

Working Principle

  • Feeding: Metal bales are fed into the unpacking machine by a grab or conveyor.
  • Clamping and Positioning: The hydraulic system activates clamps to fix the metal bale firmly.
  • Cutting and Decompression: Hydraulic knives or pushers apply force to cut and decompose the dense bale, gradually loosening the material.
  • Discharging: The loosened metal pieces are discharged through the outlet to the next stage such as a crusher or separator.
  • The process is fully automated and can be integrated with shredding or conveying systems for continuous production.

Advantages & Features

  • High Efficiency: Strong hydraulic power ensures fast and complete unpacking of dense bales.
  • Robust Structure: Heavy-duty steel frame resists wear and impact, suitable for continuous heavy operations.
  • Automation: PLC control system enables automatic feeding, unpacking, and discharging.
  • Safety & Environmental Protection: Enclosed operation reduces dust and noise.
  • Easy Maintenance: Modular design of key parts for convenient replacement and service.
  • Customizable: Adjustable cutting tools and pushing systems to fit different bale sizes and densities.
