Is It Time To Switch To A Balemaster Baler?
Whether you’re in charge of running a paper mill, distribution center, warehouse, or any other business that has to deal with loads of empty corrugated boxes and loose paper, one of your daily concerns is cost-effective waste management. Nothing can slow your day down more than watching your outdated baler unable to keep up with the steady stream of what needs to go into it.
For many mid-sized to large printers and distribution centers, a baler needs to bale the waste both time-efficiently and cost-effectively. Balemaster, the industry’s leader in waste handling automation located in Crown Point Indiana, specializes in exactly what your business needs. And, they even take it a step further by turning your waste into another profit center for your business.

Balers that help reduce your operating costs.
Some say that half the battle of running an efficient business is consistently increasing sales. And the other half? Reducing expenses. And that’s where Balemaster’s balers come in. If you’ve never really thought about a cost-effective baler to help keep down expenses, then you’re willing to spend a lot of time handling empty cardboard boxes yourself.
Sending money to your bottom line.
Automation is the key and Balemaster’s wide-mouth auto-tie balers send money to your bottom line in multiple ways:
- If you’re manually baling your waste, then you’ll need to know that conventional hand tying takes 7 to 10 minutes per bale. Balemaster’s auto-ty balers process cardboard waste into a dense bale that is automatically and securely tied in less than 30-seconds.
- Balemaster’s Heavy-Duty automatic wire tying means there’s no need for a baler operator.
- Balemaster’s balers produce bales with the highest density per cubic foot. That means there’s more material per volume than any other baler. Why is this important? It reduces your annual wire costs; maximizes recycling revenue per load; and you’ll use fewer truck loads.
- A powerful and user friendly Touch Screen Interface means that there are no more ambiguous messages, no more accidental and erroneous settings, and less costly down time.
- Balemaster’s engineers have designed and installed high efficiency hydraulics for maximizing baler capacity and conserving energy costs.

This list of cost benefits can go on and on, but you get the idea. Additionally it’s worth noting that Balemaster’s automated, heavy duty, continuous-feed, horizontal, Auto-Ty balers such as the 5200 Series, are able to bale upright cartons and boxes (flattened or not), paper products, wax/poly coated materials, and shredded cartons and boxes. Therefore, there’s no need to bale some of the waste while tossing the rest into the compactor. There’s also no employee downtime to flatten boxes to produce a high-density bale.
Do the math.
Every business’s cost-cutting methods are different. Only you will know what the best avenues are to take for your company’s expense reductions. Hopefully by reading this blog and investigating further into the time and cost efficiencies that Balemaster affords businesses worldwide, you will discover how much Balemaster can save your company.

Automatic Tying Baler – An Engineering Marvel
Balemaster calls it “Auto-Ty”. You’ll call it an engineering marvel. In fact, Auto-Ty from Balemaster’s engineering vision is the prime ingredient in every Balemaster automatic tying baler product.
No longer do your employees need to tie-off each bale. After a bale is formed to length, the counter signals the baler to tie off the bale automatically. This revolutionary approach to baling has helped to make Balemaster the leader in the baling industry as well as helping to make your baling process more profitable.
Okay, but how do Auto-Ties work?
So exactly how does Balemaster’s Auto-Ty system work? Well, without going into too many engineering specifics: Heavy duty components twist bales tight for easy handling and stacking. For maximum reliability, the Auto-Ty inserter and Auto-Ty twister are driven by an electric motor with brake, providing precise control. Unlike hydraulic tiers that experience drifting and timing problems due to contaminated hydraulic oil, the Auto-Ty’s electrical/mechanical design offers clean, trouble-free operation. Trouble-free. And isn’t that the bottom line for most businesses?

Balemaster’s Auto-Ty system includes the heaviest twister hooks in the industry to make sure you get lasting performance 24/7. The hooks are also reversible, eliminating left or right hand requirements - again, thanks to the highly trained and skilled engineers at Balemaster for not only coming up with that idea, but implementing it. Additionally, the automatic dispensing wire coil holders are mounted right on the baler, saving valuable floor space. And, if you need a “short bale” – there’s a valuable option on the touchscreen that allows you to tie-off at any time.
How long does all of this take?
So, you’re probably wondering by now how quickly Balemaster’s Auto-Ty System can work, since time is money. Well, after the bale is formed to length and the counter signals the baler to tie off the bale, the ram proceeds to the full forward position to the tie-off position. Then needles insert wires into position through the ram into the tying head. With the wires in position, the twister head rotates and all wire positions are simultaneously twisted and cut. After cutting, the twister continues to rotate, twisting the two wires together to form two knots at each end of the bale. After the tie is completed, the twister reverses to disengage, the needles retract, the bale counter is reset, and the baler is ready for another. So how much time? Under thirty seconds.
Balemaster’s Automatic baler – simply another innovative and smart idea from Balemaster designed to help your business reduce costly downtime and maintenance for greater savings.
