Energy savings of up to 40% with the HSM VK 12018 R FU channel baling press
The presentation of one of the largest presses, the HSM VK 12018 R FU, will certainly be very impressive. VK stands for fully automatic channel baling press, 120 for 1200 kN pressing power, 18 for the length of the loading aperture (1800 mm), R for recycling and FU for frequency-regulated drive. This drive makes a huge contribution both in terms of environmental protection and efficiency with possible savings in energy costs of up to 40%. This drive is available as an option for many of the HSM baling presses and multi-stage shredder systems. With a drive of 2 x 90 kW, the HSM VK 12018 can press up to 35 tonnes of mixed paper per hour, each weighing approx. 1 tonne. With foil, each bale will weigh approximately 700 kg. However, it is not just the weight, but also the quality of the bales which is crucial for disposal companies. The tighter the bales are pressed, the more stable they are for internal or external storage and therefore the better able they are to meet the requirements of the paper mills Another critical criteria for disposal companies is the size of the bales. With dimensions of 1.10 m x 1.10 m, they are ideally sized for truck loading and, compared to smaller presses, save around 1/3 of the wire.
The V-Press 860 L and the V-Press 1160 will represent the vertical baling press range at the IFAT trade fair. The so-called "rapid traverse technology" was developed by HSM especially for the V-Press range. The results are certainly impressive: the energy consumption and the driving power are significantly reduced while, at the same time, increasing the throughput capacity. This technology reduces cycle time by approx. 25-30%. Vertical baling presses, also known as cabinet presses, are frequently used in the food industry, as well as by discount chains, for pressing cardboard from packaging into valuable product bales. Technical details: The V-Press 860 L compresses used packaging material such as cardboard and foil effortlessly thanks to both a pressing power of 532 kN and the extremely stable press ram guidance. The bales reach a weight of up to 460 kg regardless of the material and are bound 4-fold with wire strapping as a standard. Polyester strapping is also available as an option. Special profiles in the bale ejection door, in the filling hatch and in the press ram form recesses in the bales. Thus the use of pallets is no longer necessary. The bales can be moved directly with a pallet truck or stacker.
The V-Press 1160 also works with a pressing power of 532 kN, produces bales however weighing up to 550 kg and with a bale size of 1200 x 1100 x max. 1200 mm (L x B x H).
