HORIZONTAL BALERS |recycling equipment supplier|sorting equipment|separators|conveyor systems Choosing the right baler for your application is an important decisionthat can have a long-term financial impact on your operation. Whether your baler is the prime producer or part of a much larger production, choosing the improper baler you could jeopardize your plant efficiency, which can lead to excessive operating costs due to poor productivity and high consumable costs. There are a number of types of balers on the market such as Extrusion Horizontal Balers, Closed Door Horizontal Balers, Two Ram Balers and Vertical Downstroke Balers; each type is available from several manufacturers. If you only make a few bales of cardboard per day, a lower cost Vertical Downstroke or a Closed Door Horizontal Baler may be all that you need. If you generate several tonnes of baleable material per hour you will require a more expensive Horizontal Auto-Tie baler or a Two Ram Baler, depending on the type of material to be baled. Of course, it's also important to project realistic business growth over the next five years or so and factor the increased volume into your capacity requirement. There are specific hydraulic principles that cannot be altered such as the formula used to determine the speed of a hydraulic cylinder that moves the ram in horizontal balers. In order to move a cylinder at a given speed at a specific amount of pressure, a certain flow of oil is required by the pump, which in turn requires a certain horsepower to maintain proper operating pressure. Maximizing oil flow is commonly accomplished by using multiple pumps (high and low volume) and regenerative hydraulic circuits. In some cases the weight of the horizontal balers ram alone will switch off a high volume pump, decreasing the speed of the horizontal baler before the ram has even met the resistance of the material being baled. The denser the material, the slower the ram will travel which can lead to lower productivity.
