At Black River Trading, reconditioning recycling equipment is about more than restoring appearance — it’s about returning machines to reliable, industrial-grade performance.
Our BRT shop team is currently finishing a reconditioned two-ram baler equipped with a 13-inch main ram cylinder and dual 100-horsepower motors, designed for demanding recycling and industrial material processing applications.
This rebuild is part of one of our lower-tier reconditioning packages, demonstrating how customers can extend the life of their equipment without committing to a full top-tier rebuild.
Why Two-Ram Balers Remain Essential for Industrial Recycling
Two-ram balers are widely used in facilities handling high volumes of recyclables and industrial materials, including:
- Plastics and mixed recyclables
- Aluminum and non-ferrous materials
- OCC and fiber streams
- Industrial scrap processing
The two-ram design allows these machines to produce high-density bales while maintaining consistent throughput, making them ideal for operations that require reliable performance day after day.
The Importance of the Main Ram Cylinder
In any two-ram baler, the main ram cylinder is one of the most critical components in the system.
The 13-inch cylinder installed in this rebuild plays a major role in delivering:
- High compaction force
- Consistent bale density
- Reliable hydraulic performance
- Long-term durability under heavy loads
When paired with dual 100-horsepower motors, this configuration provides the strength required for demanding recycling and industrial applications.
BRT Reconditioning Packages Designed for Flexibility
Every facility has different goals, budgets, and performance requirements. That’s why Black River Trading offers four levels of two-ram baler reconditioning packages, each backed by warranty options.
These packages allow customers to choose the level of rebuild that best fits their operation, ranging from essential restoration work to comprehensive system overhauls.
Typical reconditioning work may include:
- Hydraulic system inspection and repair
- Cylinder evaluation or replacement
- Structural and weld inspections
- Electrical system checks
- Wear component replacement
- Safety system verification
This flexible approach ensures customers receive the right level of investment for their specific needs.
Extending Equipment Life Through Reconditioning
Reconditioning a two-ram baler can significantly extend the usable life of the machine while reducing capital costs compared to purchasing new equipment.
When performed correctly, a rebuild can restore performance, improve reliability, and ensure the equipment continues operating safely within demanding environments.
