SL series shear balers from Idromec are engineered for heavy-duty applications, utilizing a direct thrust mechanism to compress various materials. The main cover’s 90° operation enhances compression on the upper section of the box, complemented by a robust 800 to 1600-ton one-piece shearing head that efficiently processes all incoming material. This series excels in pressing bulky and robust materials, resulting in faster processing and increased productivity.

The side thrust design maximizes box space, facilitating easy loading and pressing of large objects. With box lengths reaching up to 10,000 mm and motor power outputs of up to 600 kW, these shear balers represent the pinnacle of Idromec’s power and performance. The spacious loading area allows for efficient handling of large and irregularly shaped scrap metal.

Idromec’s commitment to quality is evident in the selection of premium components from industry-leading brands like Bosch Rexroth and Parker for hydraulic systems and Siemens for electric motors. The machines boast a heavy-duty construction, with the box interior lined with durable Hardox 400 wear-resistant steel, ensuring long-lasting performance and resilience in demanding environments.

To further optimize efficiency, the SL series can be equipped with a pre-loading box, reducing operational time. Maintenance is simplified by the front-mounted design of the cutting blades, allowing for easy access and replacement. The robust construction of the shear baler ensures reliable operation under heavy loads and demanding conditions.

Optional features include radio remote control, laser cutting length management, and in-cab cameras for enhanced operator visibility and control. These additions improve safety and efficiency throughout the scrap processing and baling operations. The advanced control systems provide operators with precise control over the baling process, optimizing efficiency and output.

Idromec’s SL shear balers are designed to deliver exceptional power and ample workspace, making them the ideal solution for demanding scrap processing requirements. The combination of power, efficiency, and durability makes these machines a valuable asset for any scrap metal recycling operation.
