Our field-proven balers provide a process for creating tight bales for loose steel sheet, industrial scrap, clips and trim stock - ferrous and non-ferrous. Our line of balers produce high-density bales while lowering staffing requirements, operating costs and maintenance costs. Our balers can be used automatically, semi-automatically, or manually depending on efficiency and safety needs.

The model 5200 produces 65 - 75 bales per hour at 100% efficiency and has a shearing force capacity that is rated at 380 tons.

The baling sequence for the 5200 is initiated when loose material is loaded into the charge box. The automatic cycle for operation initiates the first compression. The second compression begins only after the full extension of the first ram head, assuring positive positioning of the first compression head. The second ram head extends until maximum pressure is reached, with nearly 170 tons of force. When pressure is relieved, the gate door opens. When the gate is fully open, the second compression ram ejects the bale.

After full extension and when the bale is clear of the chamber, the secondary ram returns to its fully-retracted position, the gate door closes and the first ram returns to its fully retracted position. This allows the material which has been placed on top of the cover plate to fill the charge box, and the formation of the next bale is begun. And, all of this happens in less than one minute!

Our model 1850 allows for the low-cost processing of non-ferrous scrap baling of all grades of scrap metal, producing high density bales from previously hard to handle material. Tight aluminum bales with densities up to 50% of the liquid molten weight of the material being processed are obtained from bulky, difficult to handle configurations and extrusions. The unique MAC tri-cylinder design is the factor in producing over 600,000 pounds of force, utilizing only 50 horsepower.
