HC38-37FM FOAM & FIBER HORIZONTAL CLOSED END BALER

Baler Foam and Fiber

This Horizontal Baler is ideal for:

  • Municipalities
  • Distribution Centers
  • Manufacturing Facilities
  • Warehouses
  • Scrap Yards
  • Shopping Centers
  • Recycling Centers
  • Transfer Stations
  • Many other types of Industrial / Commercial Applications

 

Even though this baler is designed and adapted for a specific application, it can also bale other materials very well, including:

  • Bulk Corrugated
  • Bulk ONP
  • More....

Regardless of whether it is baling foam, film, fiber, cardboard, plastics, metals, magazines, or other materials, the design, components and construction is meant to produce many years of trouble-free economical service for our customers.

This Horizontal Foam Baler (adapted for Foam / Fiber / Film) is loaded with awesome power, speed and special features for facilitating the baling of these materials.  The Foam / Film / Fiber ('3F') Balers have many important design features that separate them from other balers.

  • Bale weights are heavier which means lower hauling costs and better transport efficiencies.
  • When compared to a typical baler (trying to do the job of a specialty baler such as this) the 3F balers can produce heavy, dense bales in about one-fourth or even one-fifth the time of a typical baler.
  • The 3F balers use a longer cylinder and stroke so that more air is forced out of the material as it is compressed. Thus, the longer stroke provides bale densities that are much higher.
  • As the material is compressed there is 'memory' and retention factors that must be addressed which are handled much better than a standard baler. Special retention dogs (in conjunction with other unique features) help to overcome these critical elements.
  • The 3F balers also have special shearing capabilities not found on typical balers.
  • Also integrated in these balers is a special way to help keep material from becoming wedged or trapped in the baler (which could otherwise cause jamming).
  • In-feed openings are larger than the size of typical baler openings. Oftentimes the smaller in-feed openings mean that a shredder must be added to the baling system in order to reduce the size of the foam particulates being baled.
  • In addition to the above overview, there are many other differences in the design that separate the 3F balers from other balers (some of which are proprietary features).
