Baling system

The unique BALA round-bale technology, pioneered in Sweden and with over 100 installations worldwide, is the link between the various waste technology categories in use now for the handling and disposal of Municipal Solid Waste, offering significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency and environmental safety. Typical applications where the advantages of the round baling method is utilized is in context with handling /transportation of MSW as well as industrial waste and agricultural rest products. Ready for recovery The waste is only covered with a plastic film, which is easy to slit open. No steel wire is used for binding. No need for any form of material processing prior to incineration. Clean and odourless No problem with storage outdoors all the year round - for years. Small and rounded Compacted waste requires a smaller storage space and permits more rational transportation. No vulnerable corners that can break during handling. Anonymous The plastic cover does not attract birds or rodents. No air inside Due to an air-free environment, waste contents are kept inert, therefore no decomposition, risk of gas build-up or spontaneous combustion. Totally sealed The energy content of the waste is maintained. Leakage and littering are effectively prohibited. Environmentally compatible The net and the film are made of recyclable polythene. Advantages of roundbaling Save space and costs Optimize transport and logistics Optimize recovert plants Stop dumping now! "Buy time" Save handling costs Better environment. Citizens acceptance Enable long term storage Enable rational storage and transport Preserve heat content and properties Stop odours, gas and fires Stop biodegradation Decrease volume Remove air pockets Protect from air and rain Stop litter, leakage, birds Make homogenous compression Use plastic wrapping

MOBILE BALER, TORNADO

Mobile baler, Tornado version with increased capacity to 20-25 bales/hour. Fully equipped with safety enclosure, platforms, PLC system, wrapping unit and hydraulic unit with a capacity to also run the conveyor system. The press is assembled on a hooklift frame. Includes special tools.

Netting

When full chamber pressure is reached, a net is wounded around the bale. The net is fed into the chamber by means of jet air nozzles. The net wound around the surface of the bale keeps its form and prevents the compressed material from expanding when the chamber is opened. The operator sets the required number of windings of the net and the computer system checks continuously that the net is properly fed.

Pressing

The material is fed into the baler chamber via a feed conveyor, and is force fed between the upper and lower baler chain mats. The uncompressed material is rotated around the axis of the chamber and as more material enters, the chamber compression of the material increases. The computer system monitors the compression, by measuring the hydraulic pressure in the system. The operator sets the compression level required for the baled material via the computerized system.

Transfer bale to wrapper

The baler chamber opens and the heads of the chamber are pressed towards each circular end of the bale to hold it firmly during transfer to the wrapping unit. The net wrapping and the high bale compression minimises material loss.

Unloading

The wrapped bale is tilted onto a bale conveyor for unloading to further transportation or storage. If the conveyor is equipped with a scale and a marking unit, each bale can be marked with weight, material type etc or with a bar code.

Wrapping

The bale is wrapped with a thin, strong and stretchable plastic film that is airtight and water resistant. The wrapping is made by means of a sweep arm that rotates on the wrapping table to give a 50% overlap of film on the bale. While the bale is wrapped, the heads of the bale chamber turns to the baling position. The bale chamber closes and new material is fed into the baler. When wrapping is completed, the film is cut and the bale is loaded to the bale conveyor.
