On the basis of 50+ years experience and proven
practice, Bollegraaf balers are known to set world-
wide market standards in baling technology.
Numerous unique design features and quality
manufacturing from A-class materials ensure that
our balers are capable of processing higher
quantities of materials over time, and produce
more and heavier bales while using less energy*
to offer you the lowest possible operational cost.
Our wide range of balers includes the perfect match
to the volume and kind of recyclables handled by
your company. Numerous options are available to
further adjust your baler to your requirements.
We are happy to provide you with advice or assist
you with our transportation, installation, and / or
maintenance service. Feel free to contact us.
We are here to help you sort your business!

projects.
Hi-tech hydraulic unit
Compact system layout
Single manifold block with few hydraulic pipes and
hoses. Its compactness reduces loss of pressure in
the system, resulting in more pressure to produce
heavier and square shaped bales. It also reduces oil
temperature, chances of oil leakage, and increases
oil life.
c
Smooth running hydraulics
Absence of pressure peaks results in smooth
running, less wear and tear, and less machine noise.
Silent pumps
Internal gear pumps inside oil tank cause little
noise (74-78 dBA).
Smaller oil cooling unit
The advanced hydraulic layout and control system
reduces oil temperature, which requires a smaller
cooling system*.
(*compared to balers with equal force)
High quality cylinders
Fitted with spherical cylinder clevises on both ends
to extend the lifespan of the cylinder’s oil seals.
Smaller oil tank
The compact hydraulic system requires a smaller
oil tank. Absence of pressure peaks reduces oil
temperature and wear and tear, which extends the
lifespan of the hydraulic oil. This results in lower
overall costs for hydraulic oil replacements.
Unique pre-press flap
Optimizes baling capacity
30 - 40% more capacity compared to a shear baler
like for like force. The pre-press flap processes more
material per cycle and produces more compact,
heavier and more homogeneous bales, which are
easier to stack.
Saves energy and time
Return oil flow which opens the pre-press flap
supports the return cycle of the ram cylinder, saving
energy and production time.
Reduces wear
The pre-press flap divides all baling pressure
equally over the material, reducing internal wear
and tear. This results in lower operational cost.
Lower operational cost
Fewer serviceable parts (no sheer knives).
More versatile
A baler with a pre-press flap is capable of
processing far more types of material.
Efficient ram movement
Low drag, limited wear and tear
Horizontal and vertical steel wheels made from a
special alloy steel with closed bearings keep the
ram in the best working position, reducing wear and
tear and loss of compaction force over time.
Fast retracting ram cylinder
Fast return cycle of ram cylinder increases the
maximum possible number of cycles per period.
Advanced tying system
Single needle system (5x1)
‘5x1’ single needle system is highly accessible, has
less components and is very reliable*. (*compared
to double needle systems). Our unique twist finger
design requires less wire per bale and makes
shorter and stronger twists. d
Savings on wire cost may reach 30%. b
Self cleaning needle heads (Rotoclean)
5 Self cleaning patented ‘Rotoclean’ needle heads
require minimal service only. a
Smart Operating system
Full process control
Total central control over all stages in the baling
process.
Storage and feedback of process data
Memory function for performance optimization
(wireless remote data transfer is available).
Quick preset menus
Quick and easy switching between 10 pre-installed
baling settings. For heavy, homogenous bales
without the need for a dedicated installation
operator, saving production time.
Touch screen control
Easy to operate, menu based.
Digital pressure measurement
Precise registration of system pressures and peaks
allows fine-tuning of baler settings.
For constant feedback on baler performance.
