Custom SL-125T Metal Scrap Baling Press Machine for a Repeat Customer in Somalia
- Ordered machine: Customized SL-125T metal scrap baling press machine
- Customer: Somalia dealer
- Местоположение: Somalia
We have received more good news from a client in Somalia! He has placed another order for our metal baler for resale purposes. These repeat orders demonstrate that our equipment has helped him expand his market share. Let’s take a closer look at the details.
Customer Background
Our customer is an established metal scrap dealer and equipment distributor in Somalia, supplying scrap yards, recycling stations, and metal processors across the region.
As a distributor, they resell and rent out baling equipment to downstream scrap collectors. So every machine we build for them has to satisfy not just their own standards, but the varied needs of their end clients.
Over several purchase cycles, this customer has kept coming back to us as their business grew and their fleet of balers expanded to meet rising demand in the Somali scrap metal market. Their latest order — a custom-configured SL-125T baling press — marks another step in a long-term, trust-based partnership.
Why a Repeat Customer: Multiple Orders
This customer has placed several orders with us over the years, choosing different models and configurations as their business scaled and their end-users’ needs diversified. Each order has followed a similar pattern:
- They identify a gap in their equipment lineup — higher tonnage, a different block size, a different power setup
- They come back to us directly instead of sourcing from a new supplier
- We work together to tailor the machine to real working conditions in Somalia — voltage, manual operation, container-friendly dimensions
SL-125T Metal Scrap Baling Press Machine Configuration for Somalia
For this order, the customer requested a fully custom build to match the local power supply and their preferred operating method. Key specifications:
| Параметр | Спецификация |
|---|---|
| Модель | SL-125T |
| Block (bale) size | 25 × 30 cm |
| Давление | 125 tons |
| Мощность двигателя | 15 kW |
| Door type | Manual door |
| Напряжение | 415V, 50Hz, 3-phase |
| Rib plate thickness | 16 mm |
| Flange plate thickness | 30 mm |
| Main board thickness | 16 mm |
| Wear plate thickness | 8 mm |
| Total edge thickness | 24 mm |
Design highlights:
- 125-ton pressing force produces dense, compact bales for efficient transport and resale of scrap metal — steel scraps, cans, light iron, and other ferrous offcuts.
- Manual door was specifically requested to match the customer’s operating preference and keep maintenance simple.
- Reinforced plate thicknesses — 16 mm rib plate, 30 mm flange plate, 16 mm main board, 8 mm wear plate, 24 mm total edge thickness — give the frame the strength to handle 125 tons of pressure under continuous heavy-duty use.
- 415V/50Hz/3-phase configuration matches Somalia’s standard industrial power supply, so the machine runs straight out of the crate with no transformer or voltage conversion needed.
Container Loading and Shipping
To keep freight costs down and protect the equipment in transit, the SL-125T was packed as two separate units:
- Main machine body: 3500 × 2000 × 1800 mm
- Accessories package: 1200 × 1200 × 1000 mm
Splitting the shipment this way made better use of container space and reduced the risk of damage on the sea voyage. Our logistics team handled packing, crating, and documentation so the machine arrived at the Somali port in the same condition it left the factory, ready for installation.
Why This Customer Became a Repeat Buyer
A few things keep this customer coming back:
- Consistent quality — machines built to spec hold up under real working conditions.
- Willingness to customize — block size, door type, voltage, all adapted to the customer’s market rather than sold as one-size-fits-all.
- Smooth logistics — accurate container planning and documentation make customs clearance easier at the destination port.
- Responsive support — as a distributor, this customer needs fast answers for their own clients’ technical questions, and our team backs them up through the full sales cycle.
- A long-term view — we treat each order as part of an ongoing partnership, not a one-off sale.
