Electro-hydraulic locking of the press carriage during the setting
process so that the press punch does not change position in the case
of highly expansive materials
Additional optional equipment ordered:
Frequency-controlled main drive, 2 x 45 kW, with up to 40% energy
savings compared to the standard 2 x 45 kW motor, with the same power
output
Manual switching off or on of the number of wire strapping in order to
save strapping wire in non-expansive material
Cutting edge free-kicker with 121 kN pressing force
Sensory wire monitoring, with press shutdown in case of wire break or
wire end
Bale chute
Visual warning signal, mounted on the control cabinet
Condition of the press:
The baler is in good, ready-to-use condition, and has been cleaned
weekly by the operator, lubricated and serviced according to the
