1. Loading convenience: The filling port of the funnel type steel baler is funnel-shaped, with a large opening and a wide upper and narrow lower shape, and the metal material can naturally slide into the interior of the baler under the action of gravity, without excessive manual intervention or the use of auxiliary tools to push, for some granular, debris or small block metal materials, such as steel chips, aluminum chips, etc., the loading process is more convenient and efficient.
4. Suitable material range: funnel design makes it have good compatibility for metal materials of various shapes and sizes, in addition to common block metal, for some fine metal particles, debris and thin metal sheets and other materials can also be well packaged, expanding the scope of applicable materials, to meet the needs of different metal recycling scenarios.
Structures:
First, the funnel part
1. Funnel body: This is the most distinctive part of the funnel type metal baler. The funnel body is usually a metal structure wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and is generally welded with steel plates. The shape design helps the metal material slide smoothly into the inner working area of the baler under the action of gravity. For example, for a funnel that handles granular metal waste such as steel chips, the upper opening may be large to facilitate equipment such as forklifts to dump large amounts of steel chips into, while the lower, gradually shrinking opening can guide the steel chips accurately to the compression chamber of the baler. The inner wall of the funnel is usually smoothed, such as polishing or lining with wear-resistant plastic, to reduce the friction of metal materials during the slide process and prevent material accumulation and blockage.
2. Feed control device: In order to control the feed speed and feed amount of metal materials, the funnel type metal baler is equipped with a feed control device. This may include components such as gates or valves. The opening and closing degree of the gate can be controlled manually or electrically to adjust the flow of metal materials into the baler. For example, when the baler is handling the compression process of the last package of materials, the gate of the funnel can be closed to prevent new materials from entering, and the gate can be opened after the compression is completed to allow materials to enter for the next packing.
Second, the compression part
1. Hydraulic system: This is the core power source of the compression part. The hydraulic system is mainly composed of hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve and oil tank. The hydraulic pump is responsible for extracting the hydraulic oil from the tank and transporting the pressure oil to the hydraulic cylinder through the hydraulic valve. The hydraulic cylinder is the key component to realize the compression action of metal materials, and its internal piston generates strong pressure under the push of hydraulic oil to compress metal materials. For example, the hydraulic cylinder of some large funnel-type metal balers can generate tens or even hundreds of tons of pressure to ensure that the metal material is compressed into a tight package. The hydraulic valve is used to control the flow direction and pressure of hydraulic oil, which can accurately adjust the working speed and pressure of the hydraulic cylinder to adapt to the compression needs of different types and quantities of metal materials.
2. Compression chamber: The compression chamber is a space where metal materials are compressed, generally made of high-strength steel plates and sealed around to ensure that metal materials will not leak during the compression process. The size and shape of the compression chamber will vary according to the design purpose and packaging requirements of the baler. In the compression room, there are usually some auxiliary devices, such as guiding devices, which are used to guide the metal material to maintain the correct position during the compression process to avoid the material deviation affecting the compression effect.
Third, the packaging part
1. Packing tape supply system: mainly includes packing tape coil, tape feeding device and tension adjustment device. The packing tape roll is the place where the packing tape is stored, and it can generally accommodate enough length of packing tape to meet the needs of multiple packing. The
Belt Conveyor is responsible for conveying the packing belt from the tape roll to the packing position, which is usually composed of a motor driven roller, through the rotation of the roller to push the packing belt forward. The tension adjustment device is used to control the tension of the packaging belt to ensure that the packaging belt can tightly bind the metal material during the packaging process.
2. Welding device for the packing belt: After the packing belt surrounds the metal material for a week, weld both ends of the packing belt to keep the packing block tight. Hot melt welding or ultrasonic welding technology is usually used in packaging tape welding devices. Hot melt welding is to heat the two ends of the packing belt, so that it is fused together under a certain pressure; Ultrasonic welding is the use of high frequency vibration to generate heat between the molecular friction of the packaging belt to achieve welding.
Fourth, Control system
1. Electrical control cabinet: This is the control center of the whole baler, which is equipped with various electrical components, such as relays, contactors, PLC (programmable logic controller) and so on. PLC is the core of the control system, which can control the various actions of the baler according to the pre-written program, such as the opening and closing of the funnel gate, the pressure adjustment of the hydraulic system, the conveyor and welding of the packing belt. Through the electrical control cabinet, the operator can easily set the working parameters of the baler, such as packaging size, packaging pressure, packaging belt length and tension.
2. Operation panel: The operation panel is installed in a prominent position of the baler for easy operation. It usually includes various buttons, indicators, and displays. Buttons are used for basic operations such as starting, stopping, and resetting. Indicators can show the working status of the baler, such as feeding, compressing, and packing. Displays can display some important working parameters and fault information to help operators understand the operating status of the baler in time.
