American Baler unveils new high-speed baler.

American Baler has introduced a new single-ram baler that has a rated production capacity in excess of 50 tons and 46,000 cubic feet per hour.

The HS8543 baler is well suited to single-stream operations, according to American Baler National Sales Manager Roger Williams, and the development of the new high-speed baler was driven by their needs.

"The single-stream concept is built on dependability," Williams says. "The volume of material these facilities collect every day really raises the bar in terms of the need to ensure same-day processing. With our track record, operators know that they can count on American Baler to have technical staff and service parts available on a days notice to keep productivity high and operating costs as low as possible."

The HS8543 features a large feed opening and twin motors that are optimized to produce dense bales quickly without heavy power usage, according to American Baler. Auxiliary functions, such as the auto-tier and fluffer door, are driven by a separate dedicated motor. A patented floating-tension force allows the baler to adjust automatically to the requirements of changing materials. The baler also includes American Baler's swing-away auto-tie assembly and touch-screen interface with diagnostic display.
