Banta Corp. Installs American Baler Machines

Banta Corporation, a Wisconsin-based printer of educational products and catalogs, recently purchased and installed two customized PAC 4029 horizontal balers from American Baler Company, Bellevue, Ohio.

Designed for use in conjunction with air handling, conveying and shredding systems, the new balers will be used at Banta’s Menasha, Wis., facility to automatically bale trim and scrap material from printing equipment, saddle stitchers and perfect binders.

The PAC 4029 model is capable of displacing more than 20,000 cubic feet per hour with a cycle time as fast as seven seconds. The baler’s slick material tension chamber self-adjusts to heavily coated materials, maximizing bale density. Dust seals, air pick-ups and platen controls minimize dust emissions. An automated wire tying system secures each bale, which measures up to 72-inches in length and weighs up to 2,000 pounds.
