Our semi-automated balers automatically compact material until the bale has actually reached maximum pressure, the bale full light after that shows that the bale requires to be tied off prior to opening up end door. The baler then pushes the bale out onto a pallet.

Fully automated balers can be fed continuously, the material being loaded presses the existing bale out. This is a constant process, even the tying off is automated, it’s done at a preset length – operators do not have to tie the bale off on a fully automatic baler.
