The multi-chamber range of balers is an ingenious addition to the standard baler range. The expandable multi-chamber balers are popular as each bin can be utilised as a different recycling point allowing cardboard, paper, plastics, cans, etc to be sorted directly into separate bins easily and economically.

• Reducing waste disposal costs by recycling
• A modular and versatile solution for baling various recyclables; One single baler for multiple waste streams
• Volume reduction of up to 90%
• Enables you to be environmentally friendly and meet environmental standards such as ISO 14001
• Simple to use
• Small bales easy to handle and store saving space and reducing risk of waste fires

Compact Multi-Chamber Balers 30-40Kg Bales
All you need to start recycling and begin saving

These powerful compact balers have an amazing appetite for waste - compacting by up to 90% volume and taking up very little floor space.

• Mechanical Holding Clasps
  Each press chamber is equipped with four mechanical holding clasps which hold down expansive materials such as plastics. This feature gives you the maximum space for loading the next batch of recyclable material.
• Easy Bale Ejection
  The bottom of the press chamber is connected to the front cover. Once the bale has been bound the unit will open semi automatically allowing the pressed and bound bale to be removed easily. This means that forced closing and opening mechanisms can be avoided.

Features

• Hot galvanised base resulting in the non-corrosive containment of recyclables, even in wet conditions
• Semi-automatic ejection of pressed bales
• Easy binding of bales for users
• Delays in loading the baler are eliminated with multiple chamber options and automatic operation sliding compaction plate

Large Multi-Chamber Balers 200-300Kg Bales

Available with two or three chambers, this powerful unit is suitable for baling boxes, cardboard, plywood, plastics, cans, foils, cartons, general waste and so much more.

• Easy to use
  Loading is easy - with a wide opening there is no need to fold or bend material. The ACM multi-chamber balers will compress 300kg of waste in 40 seconds and automatically eject a tightly bound bale onto a pallet for easy removal.

Features

• Automatic cycle stop with visual indicator
• Easy to bind with either steel or polyester tying material
• Automatic bale eject mechanism
• Pressing unit stroke 1100 mm
• Long internal guides prevent the pressing unit from tilting even under extreme situations
• Sliding guides with large casters make the pressing unit move effortlessly
• A wide loading space means that most material does not require folding

Today's balers are more efficient and versatile than ever before and provide an invaluable link in the waste management chain, but they need to be handled properly in order to achieve optimum results. Martyn Kentish, Technical Services Manager at ACM, gives some key pointers in the art of creating the perfect cardboard bale:

1. Always use fully trained operators to use balers. It is common sense that to be safe and efficient an operator should have been competently trained.
2. When beginning a bale lay a piece of cardboard into the bottom of the baler, making sure that it is approximately the same size as the bottom of the baler. Then place additional material onto this. When complete it will help to keep the integrity of the bale and prevent smaller pieces falling out.
3. When baling, spread the cardboard about evenly. This will create a more compact and, therefore, denser bale. A more compact bale will reduce the overall volume required for storage.
4. When baling cardboard boxes, break them open rather than putting them in whole. This allows them to be laid flat and will create a more compact bale.
5. When completing a bale reverse the process in point 2 by putting a large sheet of cardboard on top to complete the 'sandwich' effect and producing a well constructed and tidy bale.
6. When tying off the twine for smaller bales and wire for mill size bales, tie them off as tightly as possible. This will prevent the bales expanding when the pressure of the baler is released and the bale ejected. This will make storage and transportation easier.
7. Make sure that the waste has as little contamination from plastics or polythene as this will reduce the value of mill size bales and make recycling and disposal more difficult for smaller size bales.
8. Always keep bales dry. Transport is governed by weight restrictions and you do not want to use your transport to move water. If you are receiving revenue from mill size bales, the mill may reject a bale if the water content is deemed to be too great. The maximum a mill will accept is 12% water content.
9. Never place any combustibles or pressurised vessels into a baler, if you are in doubt about the effect of placing something into a baler, leave it out and seek advice.
10. Maximise the cost effectiveness of your waste streams by ensuring that all cardboard is removed from the general waste and baled together.
