ENERPAT supplies mobile and lid-type car body balers engineered to process end-of-life vehicles, light steel and mixed metal components with consistent compaction and dependable operation. This page compares the on-site flexibility of mobile car balers with the high-throughput, high-force capabilities of lid-type (stationary) compactors.
Mobile Car Body Baler (AMB-SC-15525) - Key benefits- Flexible on-site operation: designed for movement between job sites and use in temporary recycling yards and demolition projects.
- All-in-one operation: integrated grapple and operator cab enable independent material handling, compression and stacking without extra lifting equipment.
- Off-grid capability: diesel engine power for operation in remote locations without electrical supply.
- Shipping- and transport-friendly: foldable support legs and a design compatible with 40 ft open-top container transport for easier deployment overseas.
Lid-Type Scrap Car Compactor (AMB-L Series) - Key benefits- High-volume processing: optimised for fixed installations and continuous operation handling high-strength and oversized metal components.
- Increased compaction power: lid-type pressure chamber provides elevated compression forces for dense scrap materials.
- Integrated shearing and robust structure: lid design often incorporates cutting/shearing capability to process long materials and reduce manual pre-processing.
- Automation & monitoring: PLC control options for real-time monitoring and automated production workflows.
Usage scenarios & suitability- Mobile balers suit auto recycling yards with multiple locations, temporary sites, or operations requiring frequent relocation and on-site compacting.
- Lid-type balers suit fixed plants, steel mills and facilities requiring continuous, high-throughput processing of engines, axles and oversized scrap.
Technical features / specifications- Models referenced: AMB-SC-15525 (mobile) and AMB-L Series (lid-type).
- Typical processing capacity (examples): Mobile — steel 15.6 t/h, aluminium 7.8 t/h; Lid-type — steel ~12–15 t/h depending on material.
- Bale size examples: Mobile — 850 × 650 × 500 mm (33.5 × 25.6 × 19.7 in); Lid-type example — 500 × 500 mm (19.7 × 19.7 in) with maximum infeed up to 2500 × 2000 × 1200 mm for larger models.
- Compression chamber length (example): Mobile — 5250 mm (206.7 in); lid-type varies by model.
- Power systems: Mobile example — Cummins diesel engine (130 HP / 96 kW) + hydraulic drive; Lid-type — motor power range 30–300 kW depending on required pressure.
- Control methods: Mobile — remote + cab operation supporting semi-automatic/manual modes; Lid-type — PLC control (Siemens/Schneider) with one-touch touchscreen options.
- Environmental & emissions: Mobile example meets Euro 5 / Tier 4 Final standards for export suitability; Lid-type designs comply with fixed-installation environmental requirements.
- Key structures & materials: Mobile — foldable support legs, Hardox450 wear-resistant hopper, integrated grapple; Lid-type — lid-type pressure chamber with cutting blade/clamshell structure for shearing and sealed operation.
