High-speed baler
50 tons per hour capacity
Designs were unveiled at this year’s Waste Expo Exhibition on the HS8543 50 tons per hour multi-material high-speed single-ram baler. Units are designed to meet the growing demands of high volume processing facilities with rated production capacities exceeding 50 tons per hour and 46,000 cubic feet per hour.
Roger Williams, the National Sales Manager for American Baler, says that the decision to develop a new high-speed baler was driven by the needs of municipalities and waste management companies who have become increasingly committed to single-stream recycling facilities. “We have been very aware of the problems this sector has faced sourcing balers in this model range,” Williams explains. “With virtually no US-based manufacturers actively producing 50 tons per hour equipment, the industry has been hamstrung with respect to the costs and technical support issues related to offshore sourcing. We knew we could solve the problem, so we put the pedal down to deliver the high-speed baler that single-stream operators need.” According to Williams, single-stream processing holds great promise for the industry, but only if the large-scale equipment they operate can perform dependably and economically over the long term.
The HS8543 will feature a large feed opening and twin motors, optimized to produce dense bales at high speed without heavy power usage. To further reduce energy costs, auxiliary functions such as the auto-tier, fluffer door and oil filtration are driven by a separate dedicated motor. A patented floating tension force allows the baler to adjust automatically to the special requirements of changing materials. An arrangement of eight spring-loaded retainer locks in the bale chamber will restrict bale spring back and minimize rooster tails. The new unit will also be equipped with familiar American Baler features such as a swing-away auto-tie assembly and an advanced touchscreen operator interface with integrated diagnostic display. The baler will be fully compliant with ANSI Z-245.5 baler safety standards and the complete electrical system will be UL-certified.
