Automated Waste Management Processes

The purchase of a new channel baling press was driven by the need to streamline waste management, accelerate production processes and minimize downtime. The project’s primary goal was to enhance operational efficiency, optimize storage space and ensure a durable and reliable solution. The HSM VK 5012 produces bales of up to 1200 mm in length which weigh between 400 and 500 kg and it processes a variety of production waste such as sheets, templates, strips and paper packaging. The bales are stored on-site and later transported to paper mills, completing the cycle of efficient waste management. Operating in single-shift mode, the baling press handles a monthly load of approximately 250 tons, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Tailored Solutions

One of the key challenges of the project was material feeding. Waste stored in large 1100-litre containers required the use of a conveyor belt to stretch the material before feeding it into the baling press. This solution improved baling efficiency, bale quality, and system reliability.

The addition of a hydraulic material ejector further accelerated equipment handling enhancing both efficiency and safety. Another challenge was the presence of long waste strips, which could cause disruptions in conveyor operation during waste transport. Thanks to the quick response of the HSM team, this issue was effectively resolved through appropriate system modifications.

Increased Efficiency and Cost Savings

The new baling press has automated waste processing, thereby eliminating manual handling and reducing the need for a multi-shift work system. As a result, SENTREX has lowered labour costs, optimized logistics, and increased operational efficiency.

Conclusion

By investing in the HSM VK 5012, SENTREX has achieved a significant improvement in production efficiency and waste processing quality. The new solution is paying itself off quickly and is providing long-term operational benefits.
