APKE55 Fully Automatic Baler

The APKE55 Fully Automatic Baler is a high-output horizontal baling system delivering 66 tonnes of compaction force with continuous feed processing and fully automated bale tying. Designed for large-scale industrial recycling operations, the E55 produces dense, uniform bales with minimal operator intervention.

With throughput capacities of up to 8.04 tonnes per hour, selectable 22kW / 30kW / 45kW motor configurations and an enlarged 1400mm x 1020mm loading aperture, the APKE55 is engineered for facilities where sustained high-volume recyclable output demands reliable automated processing.

Key Performance Data

• Compaction Force: 66 tonnes
• Throughput Capacity: 4.08 / 6.00 / 8.04 tonnes per hour
• Motor Options: 22kW / 30kW / 45kW
• Maximum Bale Size: 1100mm x 750mm
• Typical Bale Weight: 400–500kg (material dependent)
• Loading Aperture: 1400mm x 1020mm
• Open Circuit Time: 30 / 20 / 15 seconds

Throughput & Site Volume Guidance

Depending on motor selection and material type, the APKE55 is suited to facilities processing approximately 15–60+ tonnes of recyclable material per day. Higher motor configurations support increased hourly throughput and reduced cycle intervals for multi-shift operations.

Automation Advantage

Unlike semi-automatic balers requiring manual tying and repeated operator activation, the APKE55 performs compaction, bale formation and tying automatically. Continuous feed operation supports uninterrupted workflow in distribution centres, manufacturing plants and centralised recycling hubs.

Automated bale production improves output consistency, reduces manual handling requirements and enhances transport efficiency through uniform bale sizing.

System Integration

The APKE55 can be deployed as a standalone installation or integrated into conveyor-fed material handling systems. Its configuration supports centralised waste management infrastructure within high-output industrial environments.
