MAX-PAK Balers - Vertical Balers

With a 2-year warranty on parts and labor, plus 5 full years of warranty on the structure, the MAX-PAK vertical baler just can’t be beat. Add in all the ease-of-use and safety features, incredible performance, durability, and strength, it’s no wonder that MAX-PAK is the leading vertical baler of 39 industry competitors!

With an easy to use baler that fits your budget, space, and recycling requirements, MAX-PAK vertical balers provide you with very dense bales, that are easy to handle and transport, saving you money, now and later.

The Max-Pak vertical balers are engineered for performance second to none, but with “ease of use” features that make Max-Pak the logical choice for your recycling needs.

The press head is locked against the rear of the baler using a patented roller guide system. This restricts its movement toward the front of the baler under pressure. A six-point guide system restricts lateral movement of the press head in any unintended direction. These precautions ensure the cylinder is not subjected to undue side load, which would shorten its life.
We were the first to use tube steel to buffer the door. Tube steel is 12 times stronger than C-channel.
MAXPAK is the only company to put eight pieces of 4-inch C-channel in the sub-floor of its vertical balers. Others use four (or less), or even just a steel plate.
The discharge door is made of quarter-inch steel plate, supported by 3-inch square tube steel.
We use hydraulics built for the 5,000-PSI European standards, but we run them in the 3,000-PSI range. This keeps them cool and allows them to keep running, with very low maintenance, year after year.

Never, in the history of MAX-PAK, has the base frame of a MAX-PAK baler been bent or distorted.

MAX-PAK was the first to use a solid steel in-feed charge door, which provides superior strength and acts as a barrier, just in case something such as an aerosol can were to be accidentally inserted into the baler. Most others use a mesh wire screen door, which could still allow injuries to occur, even from a small explosion.
Safety interlocks are installed on all doors and removable panels, so baling automatically stops if a door is opened.
All MAX-PAK Vertical balers have bilingual safety stickers and caution decals.
MAX-PAK standard vertical balers are UL listed, and all MAX-PAK balers meet or exceed all applicable OSHA regulations and are built according to ANSI Z 245.5 safety requirements for baling equipment.

Max-Pak balers are built for durability, strength and ease of use, but these do not take precedence over safety. Every Max-Pak baler is engineered to meet or exceed applicable safety standards as well as our own internal evaluation to ensure the safety of our machine.

Material under pressure for a period of time, will densify 10% more, than simply under momentary pressure. Therefore, a time-delay relay is incorporated to allow the press head to delay for a full 5 seconds, at the bottom of each stroke, before returning to the up position.
We use 10-inch C-channel side rails and two 12-inch C-channel headers to mount the cylinder. This allows us to achieve a 46:1 ultimate strength ratio. With 75,000 Lbs of down pressure in the bale chamber, the MAX-PAK vertical baler easily, and quickly, breaks down cardboard boxes, and creates dense bales.
The door open/close mechanism incorporates a 10-inch turnbuckle wheel, joined at two points for ultimate leverage and ease of use.
All MAX-PAK vertical balers incorporate a self-eject system, making bale removal a snap.
