New Baling Press Introduced by Strautmann

German bale specialist Strautmann has launched the BaleTainer, a fully automatic baling press for paper, cardboard and PET bottles. Whether by hand, by conveyor belt, by forklift or by wall connection, large and bulky materials can be thrown in conveniently, the Glandorf-based company says.

The BaleTainer winds the material, which is conveyed by a swingarm to the rotor, into the bale chamber. With 600kN press force, the recyclables are pressed into 450kg direct marketable bales. The bales are tied off fully automatically and sold to recyclers or paper mills to provide extra revenues. The compact design of the fully automatic machine allows internal installation directly at material source.

The new solution reduces 6 tons of cardboard a day at Osnabrück-based Wessels + Müller AG in the central warehouse, about 90 percent of the total.
