KG, the German manufacturer of baling presses, PET solutions and document shredders, is claimed to be a combination of the quality requirements of the HSM environmental engineer- ing and high profitability. With their performance and long service life they are an economic disposal solution. The bales have ideal dimensions to achieve a perfect utilisation of the trucks, which saves handling costs and increases the marketability of the bales. The vertical baling press HSM V-Press 860 P is especially designed for the compression of opened or perforated PET/UBC bottles. With a pressing force of 434kN and a low-noise and energy-saving technology, this baler is the economic and environmentally sound solution for all tasks of disposal. With the rapid motion technology developed at HSM, the power consumption and drive power are significantly reduced and, at the same time, the throughput rate increases, says the company. This special design with twice the number of retaining claws, compared to the HSM V-Press 860, optimises the compaction of the material to be pressed and reduces the number of filling processes. The pressing process, which starts with closing the door, proceeds automatically. A comfortable membrane keyboard including text display comprehensively informs the user about the state of affairs. After the end of press- ing, the sliding door is opened automatically. A fourfold wire banding ensures the shape of the bale with a weight of up to 230kg. The maximum bale size amounts to 1,200 x 780 x max. 1,200mm. Taking out the bale is said to be easy and can be removed on a pallet. The inclination of the pressing plate is continu- ously monitored in all directions thanks to the special HSM TCS (Torsion Control System). It prevents one-sided Ioads, opti- mises the pressing process and ensures a long service life. With these balers, the volume of the packaging material can be reduced by up to 95% directly on site. www.hsm.eu RECYCLING S P E C I A L A COLOUR IDENT I TY LIQUID COLOURS AND ADDITIVES FOR PACKAGING repi.com
