This story appeared in the Spring 2018 edition of Plastics Recycling magazine.
PP 1208 and PP 1208 Plus 70: German equipment manufacturer Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH is marketing its PP 1208 and PP 1208 Plus 70 vertical baler models as ideal for handling recyclables, including plastic film and foam and polyethylene terephthalate. The vertical balers offer a pressing force that ranges from 3.3 to 77.2 tons, and their small footprint allows them to be used almost anywhere, the manufacturer says.
What's new? Strautmann balers are now distributed in the U.S. by Unlimited Recycling Resources LLC (URR).
Benefits: Economical and energy-efficient operation. The QuickDoor, a swing/sliding door that pushes material into the press chamber, helps to ensure safe operation, while the machines' CircleSystem is designed to reduce re-expansion of the compacted material for more efficient bale handling.
