The Black River Trading team recently completed the installation of a new Maren ProPAK60Stretch Full Eject Baler, a heavy-duty horizontal baler engineered for demanding industrial applications. Designed specifically for large box distribution centers, foam bedding, slip sheets, and high-volume packaging waste, the ProPAK60S delivers exceptional performance, durability, and operator efficiency.
This installation showcases BRT’s commitment to delivering high-quality equipment solutions backed by professional installation, startup, and customer support.
Why the Maren ProPAK60S Is a Top Choice for High-Volume Operations
The ProPAK60S stands out because it combines massive material capacity, advanced shear technology, and smart automated controls into one powerful baling system.
1. Largest Feed Opening in Its Class
The baler features a 54” x 70” feed opening, giving operators the ability to feed full, unbroken boxes without the need for cutting or pre-processing. This drastically increases throughput and reduces labor time.
2. Smart Shear System for Jam-Free Operation
Maren’s engineering integrates:
- A 27-point chassis shear blade
- A progressive platen shear
- Specialized chamber geometry
This combination reduces or eliminates shear jams while maintaining smooth, continuous operation.
3. Smart Bale Technology for Perfect Bale Size & Density
The Smart Bale interface lets the operator choose multiple preset bale sizes—ideal for maximizing truck and container loads.
Settings automatically adjust:
- Baling pressure
- Wire count & placement
- Bale size
- Photo eye selection
- Conveyor speed
- …and more.
This ensures consistent bale quality for OCC, plastic film, polyurethane foam, and mixed packaging materials.
4. Built for Rugged, Long-Term Performance
The ProPAK60S is constructed with heavy-duty components designed to withstand years of industrial use:
- AR400 abrasion-resistant wear plates
- Interlocking steel chassis construction for longer-lasting weldments
- Oversized cylinder mounts for unmatched durability
- Extreme heavy-duty bale door borrowed from larger non-ferrous balers
The result is a baler engineered to perform reliably in demanding environments.
5. Operator-Friendly Controls & Easy Wire Tying
The full-color touch screen offers real-time data, presets for multiple commodities, and password-protected maintenance screens.
The wire-tie path is positioned for unobstructed threading, making bale tying faster and easier than competitive systems.
6. High Platen Force & Efficient Hydraulics
With 104 PSI platen pressure—20% more than many competing models—the baler creates dense, uniform bales that maximize shipping efficiency.
The hydraulic system uses high-efficiency pumps to outperform many 30 HP competitive balers, even with a 20 HP motor.
