Used/rebuilt balers from Excel provide a cost-effective alternative to new equipment. When selecting a used and/or rebuilt baler, the condition of the equipment is everything. Purchasing a used baler in questionable condition can be very costly in terms of unexpected repairs and down time. Beware of “reconditioned” balers that have only had minimal repairs and a new coat of paint.

At Excel Baler, factory rebuilt balers have undergone an exhaustive rebuild process. Used balers are typically stripped to the bare frame and are rebuilt to meet the factory tolerances of new Excel equipment. All areas of the baler are carefully inspected and repaired/rebuilt as needed. These include all hydraulic, electrical, and structural elements of the baler. Careful attention is given to the condition of wear pads, liners, shear blades, bale wire guides, wire tier components, electrical controls, and PLC controls.

Factory rebuilt balers from Excel are generally not the lowest purchase price, but will almost certainly provide the lowest cost of ownership.

How to Choose Excel Used Baler Equipment

When selecting used baler equipment, it is important that the type of equipment matches the requirements of the facility where it will be used. Excel Baler refurbishes and reconditions vertical and horizontal balers that can be custom adjusted to meet specific specifications. The initial steps in selecting used baler equipment includes a discussion with an Excel baler expert who guide and assist customers through the selection process.

Identify Material – A careful examination of the materials to be baled is a critical step in the selection process since the density and volume of materials can radically influence the type of baler. Types of materials to be baled vary from paper and cardboard to aluminum cans and thick heavy materials.
Volume – Volume refers to the tonnage of materials to be baled. High volumes of material require the use of a high-powered baler capable of constant operation. The determination of volume can be measured by the amount of material to be baled per hour, day, month, or year. The experts at Excel can provide measures and standards that identify the different volumetric measures.
Baler Specs – Baler specs cover a wide range of factors that relate to the on-going expenses of owning and operating a high volume, high capacity used baler. The initial determination is in regard to the ownership of a used baler, which can be an outright purchase or lease. As with any form of industrial equipment, there are daily costs that have to be examined that include baling wire costs, baler maintenance, and the availability of parts.
Options – The data from the first three parts of the selection process can offer a clearer picture of the type of used baler that a customer should purchase. The different alternatives are presented by an Excel Baler representative who has the specs and characteristics of each type of used baler available in our inventory.

Since maintenance is an issue with high volume balers, it is important to determine how maintenance friendly a baler is and the skills that will be necessary to complete maintenance. Each of these factors are outlined by an Excel representative that has the hard data to guide customers during the selection process.

The staff at Excel are dedicated to providing our customers with the necessary information regarding the type of used baler that will fit their needs. They are available to guide our customers through the process of defining the factors that will influence a customer’s baler buying decision. The Excel staff can assist in determining the volume and types of materials, provide data regarding maintenance, and the options for purchasing used baler equipment.

How to Choose Excel Used Baler Equipment

The work of the technicians and craftsmen at Excel is what differentiates us from other used baler equipment companies. While other companies may simply repaint a used baler and sell it as is, the experts at Excel, as is our tradition, take the extra steps necessary to guarantee that any of our used baler equipment is reliable, durable, and ready to use.

Critical Areas to be Refurbished in Used Baler Equipment

Structure – The initial step in the refurbishing of used baler equipment is an examination of the exterior structure to ensure it has not been damaged by impacts or over use. This aspect of the process helps in determining how stressed a used baler is.
Electrical Controls – Part of the inspection of a used baler’s structure is an examination of its electrical controls, which can vary from simple switches to more complex and intricate mechanisms.
Hydraulics – The hydraulic system on used baler equipment drives the ram that compacts the material into a bale. It is the key moving force of a baler and can suffer wear over time. Part of the refurbishing process is to check the hydraulic cylinder for wear and includes an examination of the piston rods and the cylinder’s seal.

The repair and rebuild of each of these factors ensures that used baler equipment from Excel Baler will provide peak problem free performance. Our team of specialists and experts are able to identify where there are difficulties, how they effect a baler’s capabilities, and are able to provide proper upgrades to ensure top performance.

The Excel Used Baler Equipment Difference

All of the used baler equipment that has been refurbished by Excel Baler technicians has been inspected and tested to ensure optimum performance. Although other heavy duty industrial equipment may suffer during its years of use, balers are more resilient and capable of enduring years of use without fail. The key to the successful operation of a baler is quality of regular maintenance, which extends the service life of a baler and makes it highly capable used baler equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Full-ejection horizontal recycling balers are best used for baling materials that are heavier and denser, such as metals, plastic bottles and textiles. The full-ejection design of these balers means that the bales are ejected from the chamber after they are formed, which allows for a more efficient and continuous baling process.

The full-ejection design also reduces the risk of materials becoming jammed in the baler, which can result in downtime and increased maintenance costs. This makes full-ejection horizontal recycling balers a good option for businesses and organizations that need to handle high volumes of dense or heavy materials and want to minimize downtime and maintenance requirements.

Another advantage of full-ejection horizontal recycling balers is their ability to produce uniform bales, which can result in higher recovery values. The full-ejection design ensures that each bale is compact and uniform in size, which can make it easier to transport and process the materials.

Overall, full-ejection horizontal recycling balers are a good option for businesses and organizations that need a reliable and efficient baling solution for dense or heavy materials, such as metal or plastic recycling facilities, textile manufacturers or industrial companies. They are particularly well-suited for situations where a high throughput of materials is required, and downtime and maintenance costs need to be minimized.

Full-penetration, closed-door horizontal balers are typically best used for volumes of baling ranging between two bales per day to 100 tons per month. They are used for more difficult to bale materials, such as metals, plastic bottles and sheet paper. They are far more efficient than vertical balers and more cost-effective and versatile than open-end balers.

Full-penetration closed-end balers are also often used in situations where space is limited, as the small footprint and inline feed configuration saves valuable floor space.

Another advantage of these balers is their ability to fully eject bales after tie-off. This results in an easy changeover of material grades. It also eliminates cross-contamination between bales.

Overall, full-penetration closed-end recycling balers are a good option for businesses and organizations that generate large volumes of material or difficult to bale materials.

A baler is a machine that is used to compress and bind recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper, plastics, and metals into compact and manageable bales. Baling is an important step in the recycling process for several reasons:

Saves space: Baling compresses the recyclable materials into dense, space-saving bales that take up less storage space. This is especially important in facilities where space is limited.

Improves efficiency: Baling reduces the number of trips required to transport the recyclable materials, thus improving efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

Increases revenue: Baled materials have a higher value in the recycling market than loose materials because they are easier to handle and transport. This means that baling can increase the revenue earned from selling recyclable materials.

Enhances safety: Baling reduces the risk of workplace injuries and accidents by keeping the recyclable materials contained and organized.

Overall, using a baler for recycling is a cost-effective and efficient way to manage and transport recyclable materials while reducing the environmental impact of waste.
