Best year yet for baler specialist Machinex

US equipment producer Machinex says it had a ‘record year’ in terms of baler sales; the company sold a total of eight single ram and twelve II ram high capacity balers throughout North America.

Since the company started to design and manufacture balers, 43 single ram and 35 II ram balers were sold, adding up to a total of 78 balers. Notable customers include Rumpke Recycling in Louisville, Republic Services in Greensboro and GFL in Winnipeg, to name a few.

Machinex started manufacturing high capacity single ram balers in 2003, ‘designed to meet the multi-purpose needs of recyclers’. Its portfolio was updated with the arrival of the high capacity II ram baler in 2012.

Both balers feature a unique pre-fill device that increases main ram cycle speed in both forward and reverse modes. ‘Our pre-fill valve sets us apart by offering a faster dry cycle time that exceeds up to 2.7 times the speed obtained by the competition,’ Machinex says.
