A baler compresses materials into a bale for transportation or storage. There are two types: vertical and horizontal. Different materials can be compressed, and industries such as farming and recycling commonly use them. Bale size is determined by the size of the machine, and some models are portable.
A baler is a device used to compress materials into a larger bale that is convenient for transportation or storage. This device usually uses one or more hydraulic arms that push the materials towards each other, creating a square bale that can be removed from the machine and stacked. There are two general types of baler models: a vertical baler and a horizontal baler. The vertical baler will feature a hydraulic arm operating in a vertical plane, while a horizontal baler features an arm operating in a horizontal plane.
In both cases, the materials are loaded into a hopper or container, and when the container is full, the arm can be operated to compress the materials. Various types of materials can be compressed in a baler, although some models are designed specifically for just one material. A tire press, for example, is intended for compressing rubber tires; may not be suitable for compressing other materials. Tire balers can be horizontal or vertical, and the bales created by such a press usually need to be secured with baling wire to prevent the tires from expanding once the hydraulic arm retracts.
Various industries will commonly use a baler. Farms, for example, can use the baler to create bales of hay that can be stacked or stored in a barn in a barn. Once the bales have been created, they must be moved using a forklift or other heavy machinery equipped with a bale launcher; bales can also be carried by hand, although they can get quite heavy. The recycling industry is also a common environment for a baler. Materials such as rubber, plastic and metal can be packaged for transport, storage, preparation for the next stage in a recycling process. Likewise, disposal services will use balers for similar reasons.
The size of the baler will generally determine how large a bale can be produced. Many manufacturers will specify the amount of material that can be safely loaded into the baler to make a given size bale. Exceeding this limitation may result in damage to the machine. Smaller machines may not be able to produce bales as big as larger machines, but they may be able to work faster, allowing the user to create more bales within a certain amount of time. The baler can also be portable, allowing a user to carry the device from one location to another, thereby increasing the convenience and efficiency of the process.
