One of the first questions customers ask us is:

“What baler do I need?”

Our answer usually begins with more questions.

What are you processing?

How much material?

How many hours per day?

How is the material fed?

What bale weights do you need?

How many different commodities?

How much labor is available?

Where are the finished bales going?

Those answers should determine the baler.

Balemaster Auto-Tie Balers

For high-volume operations processing compatible materials such as OCC and paper, an auto-tie baler can dramatically change the workflow.

Material can be continuously fed.

The baler automatically cycles.

The finished bale is automatically tied.

When properly integrated with conveyors, air systems, and finished-bale handling, the entire process can become highly automated.

That's where Balemaster is one of BRT's primary solutions.

We believe Balemaster builds outstanding auto-tie equipment, and BRT can support the complete system with installation, startup, training, OEM parts, service, preventative maintenance, baling wire, and long-term technical support.

Balemaster Closed-Door Balers

Not every operation needs continuous automatic tying.

For lower-volume or batch-style applications, a Balemaster closed-door baler can provide a simpler industrial solution while still delivering serious baling capability.

This can be an excellent fit when the customer needs a durable horizontal baler but doesn't have the material volume or operating requirements that justify an auto-tie.

Excel Full-Eject Closed-Door Balers

Then there are applications where full ejection changes the equation.

Excel offers full-eject and specialty closed-door balers that provide another option for customers processing materials where complete bale ejection and application flexibility are valuable.

This is particularly important with specialty materials.

Instead of trying to make a conventional machine handle an unusual application, we can evaluate equipment designed around what the material actually does.

Small Two-Ram Doesn't Mean Small Capability

Two-ram balers are often associated with enormous recycling facilities.

They don't have to be.

Excel gives BRT the ability to offer smaller two-ram solutions for customers who want the flexibility and advantages of two-ram technology without jumping directly into one of the largest machines available.

For the right operation, that opens an entirely different equipment category.

And When Production Is Serious...

Excel also gives us access to large, high-production two-ram balers.

These machines can make sense for demanding recycling operations processing multiple commodities and requiring significant production capacity and dense finished bales.

Again, the point isn't that a two-ram is “better.”

It's that it may be better for a particular application.

BRT Has Options

This is ultimately what we want customers to understand.

We aren't approaching every project with one answer.

We can evaluate:

Balemaster Auto-Tie

Balemaster Closed-Door

Excel Full-Eject Closed-Door

Excel Specialty Full-Eject

Excel Small Two-Ram

Excel Large Two-Ram

And then build the material-handling system around the machine.

Start With the Material

Don't start by asking which model you should buy.

Show us the material.

Tell us the volume.

Show us the facility.

Explain what's frustrating you about the existing process.

Then let's determine what equipment makes sense.

The application should choose the baler.
