An Indonesian customer selected a DILOYA Automatic Aluminium UBC Shear Baler to process aluminium used beverage cans (UBC). The project combines a three-cylinder shear-baling structure with a high degree of automation to turn bulky, lightweight cans into compact bales for subsequent handling and recycling.
> Equipment: Automatic Aluminium UBC Shear Baler
> Machine structure: Three-cylinder shear baler
The capacity range is supplied for this project, rather than a universal performance guarantee. Actual throughput depends on can condition, loose bulk density, feeding consistency, machine settings and operating conditions.
Loose aluminium beverage cans occupy considerable space relative to their weight. For a recycling operation, this makes organised storage, material transfer and transport preparation important parts of the workflow. The customer needed efficient compaction together with a highly automated baling process.
Our Aluminium UBC application page explains the material considerations relevant to baler selection, including contamination, residual liquid, feed condition and downstream bale requirements.
The selected machine uses a three-cylinder shear-baling design to compress the cans and form manageable bales. Its high level of automation supports coordinated baling operations and reduces the need for repeated manual intervention during the baling cycle. Operators still need to manage material supply, monitor operation and follow the machine's safety procedures.
For related equipment information, see the Three Rams Shear Baler and Big Hopper Automatic UBC Shear Baler pages. The Automatic UBC Baler category also provides access to related UBC baling equipment.
The supplied on-site photograph shows compact aluminium can bales at the machine discharge area. Converting loose cans into defined packages makes the material easier to organise for storage and subsequent transport. This project's reported processing capacity of 900–1,100 kg/hour highlights the machine's suitability for an operation seeking efficient UBC compaction with a high degree of automation.
> Efficient UBC processing: a reported project capacity of 900–1,100 kg/hour.
> Highly automated operation: coordinated baling cycles with less repeated manual intervention.
> Compact material handling: loose cans are converted into bales for more organised storage and transport preparation.
> Application-focused selection: the equipment is matched to Aluminium UBC rather than selected on press force alone.
The following feedback was supplied for this project and translated and edited for clarity.
“The baler runs smoothly and delivers high output. Compacting our used aluminium cans into bales has helped resolve the difficulties we faced with transport and storage, making the material easier to organise and move. The high degree of automation reduces physically demanding manual work, eases the workload on our operators and helps us save on labour costs.”
