Van Dyk Baler Places Four Bollegraaf Balers

Van Dyk Baler Corp., Stamford, Conn., has announced the installation of four Bollegraaf HBC-180 balers, which were installed in the fall of 2005.

The companies that have installed HBC-180 balers are:

According to Van Dyk, the North American distributor of Bollegraaf Recycling Machinery, which is made in the Netherlands, the HBC-180 “is capable of processing a broad spectrum of recycled fibers and containers at a high speed into very dense, homogenous packed bales while using minimum electrical power.”

The HBC-180 baler is equipped with two 125-hp motors and can process up to 40 tons per hour of OCC and up to 80 tons per hour of news and high grades with constant, sufficient feeding, according to a press release from Van Dyk.

The HBC-180MR baler produces bales measuring 3 feet 7 inches by 3 feet 4 inches, while the HBC-180 model produces bales measuring 3 feet 7 inches by 3 feet 7 inches.
