After noticing the wear and tear on an old baler, a well-known cardboard manufacturer was forced into choosing between the many options in the market for a new one. Once they compared the different machines available in Europe, they decided on the Valvan C75S1500LH and were hoping it would meet their needs both now and into the future.

According to sources, it was installed in record time and the facility is now able to produce heavier bales thanks to the 75-ton pressing force. Furthermore, production has doubled and this is set to help the business reduce operational costs while improving overall profit. Proving to be a wise investment, the baling press is able to handle demand from all corrugators and production lines (trim waste) with ease. With this in mind, it gives them room to grow in the future.

In the market today, there is much conversation regarding the pre-pressing flap for baling cardboard and many manufacturers are suggesting its importance for all customers. Meanwhile, there’s growing evidence to suggest it isn't necessary and this is why the Valvan model doesn’t offer this feature. As long as the cutting system has been designed carefully, the company believes the baling of cardboard will be achieved perfectly well without it. What’s more, they also shut down suggestions that it requires more energy and maintenance this way.

With this Valvan model, it works as an automatic hydraulic device and four wires can be placed around the bale quicker than ever thanks to the TORSOMAT H4. With many machines, they use chains and motors which leads to wear and maintenance. Since the Valvan uses a hydraulic process, it’s more robust and reliable. Within a quick time, the strapping system allows for tough knots while minimising the use of wire too.

In addition to the improved efficiency with the wire, bales can also be handled and stored more safely which is always a good thing for any business. For all of these reasons, it’s not hard to see why Valvan Baling Systems is gaining attention. Within the recycling market, they’re now a world leader and their products are getting better as technology continues and as they dedicate time to learn the best solutions. As well as balers, they also work within the used clothing world and they help with fully-automatic vertical tow- and fibre-baling installations.

Every year, it seems as though the company is getting more advanced and this sets off a positive spiral of events with more investment, more clients, etc. On the one hand, they’re growing in the baling market with stand-alone solutions. On the other, they also have dreams of becoming a leader for waste-handling systems in plastics, cardboard and textiles.
