At Black River Trading, we measure success by one simple standard: did the equipment go in right, and is the customer happy?


We’re proud to share that our BRT installation crew recently completed a new auto-tie baler installation from Maren Engineering at a box plant in Ohio, and the project was a complete success from start to finish.


A Well-Executed Auto-Tie Baler Installation

Installing an auto-tie baler in an active box plant environment requires more than just mechanical skill. It takes planning, coordination, communication, and experience.


Our team & Maren handled every phase of the project, including:

  • Site coordination and equipment placement
  • Mechanical and electrical installation
  • System startup and commissioning
  • Operator walk-through and handoff

The result was a smooth startup, a clean install, and equipment that performed exactly as expected on day one.


Why Auto-Tie Balers Make Sense for Box Plants

Auto-tie balers are a strong fit for box plants and corrugated operations because they:

  • Reduce labor tied to manual bale tying
  • Improve consistency in bale size and density
  • Support higher throughput with less operator intervention
  • Enhance overall safety around the baling process

When paired with the right manufacturer, proper installation and startup support, they become a reliable, long-term asset to the operation.


The BRT Difference: More Than Just Equipment

This project is a great example of what sets Black River Trading apart.

We don’t just install and supply recycling equipment — we stand behind it. From planning and installation to service, training, and long-term support, our goal is to make sure the equipment works the way it’s supposed to in the real world.

Most importantly, the customer was happy with the process, the result, and the performance — and that’s what matters most to us.


Final Word

Great equipment matters.

Great installs matter more.

We’re proud of our crew, grateful for the trust placed in us by Maren Engineering, and excited to see this new auto-tie baler support efficient, reliable recycling at the customer’s facility.


If you’re planning a baler installation or upgrade, Black River Trading is ready to help you do it right the first time.
