Features and Benefits
- Automatic Ram Cycling: Built-in automatic cycling reduces manual labor by eliminating the need for a full-time operator, allowing your team to focus on other tasks.
- Custom Bale Sizes Available: Choose from a variety of bale dimensions to suit your storage, handling, and transportation needs. Ideal for tailoring output to different material types or facility constraints.
- Narrow or Wide Feed Openings: Available in several configurations, these balers can be customized to your material flow — whether you’re handling bulky loads or high-density input.
- Higher Output Than Vertical Balers: With more compaction power and faster cycles, Closed Door Balers outperform vertical models in both throughput and operational efficiency.
- PLC-Controlled System: Equipped with a user-friendly programmable logic controller (PLC), these units offer reliable, automated operation with minimal maintenance needs and easy interface control.
- Adjustable Photo-Cell Control: For uniform bale output and smooth cycle transitions, an intelligent photo-eye sensor detects optimal material levels for automatic operation.
- Handles Mixed Recyclables with Ease: These balers are engineered for flexibility—capable of processing a wide array of materials including paper, cardboard (OCC), plastics, textiles, and light metals.
- UL-Listed Electrical Panels: Ensures your facility remains compliant with key electrical safety standards while operating a robust piece of machinery.
Ideal Applications & Materials
Baleforce Closed Door Balers are designed to operate in demanding environments with mixed materials.
Industries and applications include:
- Warehousing & Distribution
- Manufacturing Plants
- Retailers & Grocery Chains
- Recycling and Waste Processing Facilities
Materials Handled:
- Cardboard (OCC)
- Paper and shredded documents
- Plastics (PET, HDPE, LDPE)
- Textiles and fabrics
- Foam and soft packaging
- Light metals (aluminum cans, tin)
Operational Advantages
- Optimized for Space-Limited Facilities: Closed door designs are more compact than auto-tie systems, making them suitable for indoor use or tighter plant layouts.
- High Density = Lower Transport Costs: Create uniform, dense bales that reduce haul-away frequency and maximize payloads.
- Reliable Performance with Less Maintenance: Fewer moving parts and robust hydraulics ensure long operating life with reduced service requirements.
- Easy Integration with Conveyors and Shredders: Seamlessly connect to existing processing lines for fully integrated material handling.
FAQs
What’s the difference between a Closed Door and Auto-Tie Baler?
Closed Door Balers require manual tying of bales but are more compact and cost-effective for mid-volume facilities. Auto-Tie Balers automate bale tying and are better suited for continuous high-volume operations.
Can these balers be used with an infeed conveyor?
Yes, all models are compatible with custom conveyor systems and other infeed solutions.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Regular hydraulic fluid checks, wear part inspections, and PLC diagnostics are typically all that’s needed for smooth operation.
How long does installation take?
Most units can be installed and operational within 1–2 business days, depending on your site’s configuration.
