Description
Tri-Pak vertical balers are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities ranging from the TB-4527 series that produces a 100 pound bale to the TB-7230 series that can produce 2,000 pound bales. Every baler meets/exceeds the latest ANSIZ245-2013 specifications as well as the current OSHA, CSA, UL and MOL electrical and guarding regulations. Dual safety circuits are standard as are tamper resistant coded magnet safety sensors. Every baler is equipped with a chain free bale ejection system that is engaged from the front of the baler and uses the baler’s own cylinder to automatically eject the finished bale out of the bale chamber. The PLC based control panel alerts the operator via a “bale full” light when a full bale condition has been achieved. There is no longer any need for the operator to visually check to see how full the baling chamber is getting. Every baler can be upgrades with rear wire guides, bale counters, front door tie slots and a SCADA based baler monitoring system that is able to monitor all of the balers systems to reduce down time and gray area service calls.
