MAC112 XL baler perfect for majority of waste streams

The MAC112 XL is a baler that has been designed to treat various types of sorted municipal solid waste, C&D waste, refused derived fuel (RDF), unsorted municipal solid waste, and organic material. 

Although suitable for landfills and transfer stations, the MAC112 XL is equally at home baling other material like PET, Paper, Cardboard, HDPE, and RDF at high throughputs while maintaining high bale quality and density. 

The throughput, density and quality are subject to input material condition, loading capacity and other baler variable factors. 

The electromechanical horizontal tying system is designed to tie both plastic and steel wires. The system simplifies the cleaning process for the tying unit, ensuring greater safety for the operator. The maintenance and cleaning of the tying unit is performed at floor level. There is no need for a maintenance pit below the floor. The baler is also equipped with hydraulic sliding doors to protect the tying unit. 

Replaceable liners, made of HARDOX wear-resistant steel alloy, extend the working life of the equipment. The wear liners are bolted in the extrusion chamber and in the compaction box and can be easily replaced as necessary.

Distributed in Australia by CEMAC Technologies, features of the baler include two REXROTH 120 HP variable flow pumps with full regenerative circuits; a pump flow capacity of up to 580 litres per minute; a ram force of 200,000 kilograms and a cooling system that uses thermostatically controlled air-to-oil heat exchangers. Pumps are mounted external to the oil tank allowing for faster and easier maintenance. High efficiency IE3 motors provide up to 30 per cent energy saving compared to traditional motors. All this is mounted under a soundproofed and dust protection sliding hood. 

Another feature is the cutting blades, which are designed to optimise the cutting of excess material in the hopper. These blades are tempered to ensure a longer service life.

In cases where a foreign object accidentally enters the baler, the control panel is fitted with a hydraulic “fast zero” button that releases the pressure in the counter-pressure cylinder minimising potential damage and allowing for the object to be ejected.
