Greece: ENERPAT Lid Style Scrap Tin Baler Installed

Turning Scrap Tin into Value: A Real Recycling Success Story from Greece

As Greece continues to strengthen its circular economy framework, manufacturers are under growing pressure to manage scrap metal more efficiently. In this context, Scrap Tin Baler solutions have become a critical investment for companies producing large volumes of tin cans and tin sheets.

ENERPAT recently completed a successful installation of a lid style Scrap Tin Baler for an experienced tin packaging manufacturer in Greece. This project not only solved the customer's urgent operational challenges, but also established ENERPAT as a trusted supplier of scrap metal press machines in the Greek recycling and manufacturing sector.

Customer Background: Why a Scrap Tin Baler Was Needed

The customer is a long-established tin packaging producer serving both domestic and export markets. Daily production generates large volumes of scrap tin cans and tin sheets, which previously caused several operational problems:

• High storage costs due to low bulk density

• Rising transportation expenses for loose scrap tin

• Inefficient handling and inconsistent bale quality

• Pressure to comply with stricter recycling and sustainability requirements

Searching online for a “Scrap Tin Baler”, the customer contacted ENERPAT to find a reliable tin can baling machine capable of handling continuous, high-volume production scrap.

From Inquiry to Decision: How ENERPAT Earned Trust Quickly

After understanding the material characteristics and output requirements, ENERPAT invited the Greek customer to visit our U.S. warehouse facility.

During the visit, the customer was able to:

• Witness live baling tests using scrap tin cans and tin sheets

• Inspect bale density, shape consistency, and discharge stability

• Speak directly with long-term ENERPAT users who shared real operational feedback

This transparent, hands-on approach eliminated uncertainty and significantly shortened the decision-making cycle. Based on material type, throughput demand, and long-term durability expectations, ENERPAT recommended the AMB-L1480-160 hydraulic baling press.

The result: a fast purchase decision and a smooth project rollout.

Installed Solution: AMB-L1480-160 Scrap Tin Baler

The AMB-L1480-160 hydraulic baling press is a heavy-duty, lid style scrap metal baler designed for demanding industrial environments. Its structural strength and stable hydraulic system make it especially suitable for Scrap Tin Baler applications.

Key Technical Specifications

• Pressing Force: 160 tons

• Press Chamber Size: 1400 × 800 × 700 mm

• Bale Size: 350 × 350 mm

• Motor Power: 22 kW

Why Lid Style Design Matters

Operational Workflow: Designed for Efficiency

1. Material Feeding

Scrap tin cans and tin sheets are loaded into the chamber using a forklift or tipping system.

2. Hydraulic Compression

Under high hydraulic pressure, scrap tin is compressed into compact, uniform bales.

3. Automatic Bale Ejection

Finished bales are pushed out automatically through the discharge door, ensuring safe and continuous operation.

This workflow dramatically reduces handling time and labor dependency.

Results: Measurable Benefits for the Greek Customer

After installation, the customer reported immediate improvements:

• Significant volume reduction, lowering storage footprint

• Reduced transport costs thanks to high-density bales

• Improved scrap value due to consistent bale quality

• Faster scrap turnover and cleaner workshop environment

The customer expressed high satisfaction and has since become one of ENERPAT's reference sites in Greece, open for scheduled visits by prospective clients.
