Not all balers are built the same — and not all applications fit traditional equipment.
The Excel HV9 and HV10 balers represent a unique category in industrial recycling equipment, combining the strength of a two-ram baler with the simplicity of a single-ram system.
As an authorized Excel dealer, Black River Trading is proud to support these systems across Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Western New York.
What Makes the HV Series Different
The HV Series is not a standard horizontal baler.
According to the Excel specification and brochure , these machines feature:
Two-Ram Construction in a Single-Ram Design
The HV9 and HV10 use interlocking single-sheet construction derived from two-ram baler design, creating an extremely rigid and durable frame.
Vertical Door System (Not Horizontal Swing)
Unlike traditional closed-door balers, the HV Series uses a vertical door configuration, which:
- improves material control
- reduces door stress
- enhances safety
- supports consistent bale formation
This is a key difference from most manufacturers.
High Compaction Force
The HV10 delivers:
👉 Up to 255,000+ lbs of force
👉 Up to 157 PSI platen pressure
This allows it to process materials that standard balers cannot handle efficiently.
Multi-Material Capability
These balers are designed for:
- aluminum extrusion
- insulated copper wire
- radiators
- painted aluminum siding
- OCC and paper
- plastics (HDPE / PET)
This flexibility makes them ideal for facilities with mixed or difficult material streams.
HV9 vs HV10 (Key Differences)
- HV9: Strong performance for standard heavy-duty applications
- HV10: Increased cylinder size and force, plus patented bale pusher system
The HV10 includes a hydraulic bale pusher bar to extend the bale beyond the vertical door for easier handling .
Why Specialty Balers Matter
Many facilities struggle because they are trying to force their application into a standard baler.
The result:
- poor bale quality
- excessive wear
- downtime
- safety concerns
The HV Series exists specifically for applications where traditional balers fall short.
The BRT Advantage
As an authorized Excel dealer, Black River Trading supports the full lifecycle of these machines:
• Equipment sales
• OEM parts
• Service and maintenance
• Operator training
• Baling wire
More importantly, we help determine whether this is the right solution for your operation.
Final Thought
The Excel HV9 and HV10 aren’t just different — they’re built for problems other balers can’t solve.
If your operation is struggling with material flow, density, or durability, it may not be a maintenance issue.
It may be an equipment fit issue.
