Scrap Baling Presses / Scrap Balers - Control Features &
Packages
Hydraulic scrap balers presses are
constructed in accordance with international quality standards. Chamber door
and latch have been designed to withstand the maximum ram forces on the
material being baled. There is a lockable power disconnect and an effective
lockout procedure. A clear line of sight from the baler to the disconnect
avoids unexpected start-ups. Lockout is required for cleaning, jam clearing,
and maintenance and hence lockout procedures meet international
requirements.

The ram will not function unless the bale chamber door is closed and
latched, except when operated with a control that must be kept engaged by
the operator. Bale unloading is accomplished by upward ram motion, so a
maintained-contact control is appropriate. The loading chamber door or gate
cover the loading chamber before the ram can be activated and remain closed
during the compression stroke. The ram stop or return to rest if the door or
gate is opened more than 1/2 inch during the compression stroke. Every
hydraulic scrap balers press meet following minimum performance requirements
for the control of process:
Preparation for shutdown
The magnitude of energy, hazards and method to control the energy is
clearly prescribed for different applications.
Shutdown
The baler are shutdown using orderly and established procedures.
Isolation
Electrical circuit interrupters or similar devices are provided to isolate
the baler from the energy source.
Lockout device application
Lockout devices are affixed to each energy isolating device to provide full
protection.
Energy due to hydraulic pressure
There are necessary arrangements to relieve all potentially hazardous
stored energy.
Verification of isolation
Prior to working on the baler, balers have arrangements for isolating the
hazardous energy.
