The Austropressen APV Vertical Baling Press is a powerful and compact waste compaction solution designed for businesses where floor space and ceiling height are limited. Built with a strong, heavy-duty construction and low overall height, the APV range is ideal for warehouses, retail units, factories, hotels, logistics centres and commercial premises operating in restricted spaces or older buildings.
Designed for maximum ease of use, the APV vertical baler features a digital display with multilingual operating instructions, error notifications, bale counter and operating hours counter. Its intuitive controls and simple bale handling system make day-to-day waste management faster, safer and more efficient.
The APV baler is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate operation using a convenient Plug-and-Bale system, eliminating installation downtime and simplifying commissioning. Its patented AWS (Anti-Warp System) ensures a stable and warp-free press ram, even when material is loaded unevenly, helping to increase machine longevity and reliability.
Ideal for compacting cardboard, paper, plastic film, textiles and packaging waste, the APV produces dense, stackable bales secured using multiple plastic strapping tapes. Internal retaining claws prevent expanding materials such as plastic film from springing back upwards, helping to achieve higher bale weights and improved compaction performance.
The machine also features a fully automatic bale ejection system, allowing completed bales to be ejected directly onto a pallet at the touch of a button. With durable branded components and minimal maintenance requirements, the Austropressen APV is a dependable long-term solution for efficient commercial waste handling.
