Open-end Manual-tie Horizontal Baler With Wire Threader
This open-end manual-tie horizontal baler with wire threader offers nearly all functions of a fully automatic baler—except automatic tying. The built-in threading mechanism pushes wire or belt into strapping slots automatically, unlike standard manual-tie balers. While its productivity is about 20% less than a full-auto baler of the same size, it allows flexible strapping materials like steel wire, PET belt, or rope. Ideal for medium-scale recyclers or producers of solid waste, animal bedding, or feed who need efficient, cost-effective baling without sharp metal in bales. Best suited for soft or solid waste, not hollow plastic containers.
Product description
This open-end manual-tie horizontal baler with wire threader has all functions that a fully automatic horizontal baler only except for the auto-tying mechanism. Although tying has to be done manually, wire/belt threading can be automatically pushed into the strapping slots by the threading mechanism installed on this machine, while a normal manual-tie horizontal baler doesn’t have such threading mechanism. Comparing between a fully automatic baler and this semi-automatic baler of same pressure force and same chamber size, productivity of this machine is more or less 20% less. However, a very big advantage of this machine compared to a fully automatic baler is that is the tying material is completely flexible but not limited to steel wire only. You can use steel wire, PET belt, plastic rope, hemp rope etc. to tie the bales.
For production facilities that have large volume of solid waste internally generated and thus require efficient way of baling the waste or for middle-scale recycling facilities, this series baler is very suitable choice. It is much more efficient than a normal manual-tie baler and meanwhile is very labor-saving. In addition, the cost is not as high as a fully automatic baler, which is helpful for recyclers who don’t have sufficient budget to invest on a fully automatic baler. Besides, this series machine is ideal choice for plants of animal bedding and feeding material to compress their fluffy material, because they usually require plastic tying for the bales but not steel wire so as to make sure the bales have zero containing of sharp ferrous items that can hurt the animal.
The machine can handle almost all types of solid waste, including paper, cardboard, plastic, film, fiber, etc. However, due to the open-end(exit) design, we do not much recommend it handling plastic bottles & containers because the bales produced by this machine will not be so dense for these high rebounding products. The ideal for handling these material is a close-end baler.

FAQ about this machine
Feeding materials into a baler can be done in various ways depending on the type of materials, the equipment involved, and the setup of the baling system. Here’s a breakdown of some common feeding methods:
1.Excavator:
- Used for: Large, bulkier materials like scrap metal, wood, or other heavy materials.
- How it works: An excavator with a bucket or grapple is used to load materials into the hopper or feed opening of the baler. The excavator can precisely place materials into the feeding area.
- Advantages: Ideal for large-scale operations, especially when materials are heavy or difficult to move manually.

2. Air Cyclone:
- Used for: Light, fluffy materials like paper, plastic, or other recyclables that need to be separated from dust and debris.
- How it works: An air cyclone system uses airflow to move lightweight materials into the baler. It can also help in separating light materials from heavy ones before they enter the baling chamber.
- Advantages: Great for automating the process and improving efficiency when dealing with fine materials or mixed waste.

- Used for: Continuous feeding of materials like cardboard, plastics, textiles, or paper.
- How it works: Materials are loaded onto a conveyor belt, which moves the materials to the baler’s feed hopper. The conveyor can be configured to run automatically or manually, depending on the material flow and system design.
- Advantages: Ideal for continuous, high-volume feeding, especially in automated recycling plants or warehouses.

4. Dumper (Tippers):
- Used for: Materials in bins or containers, such as industrial waste, textiles, or recyclables.
- How it works: A dumper or tipper lifts a container of materials and dumps it directly into the baler’s feed hopper. This is often seen with bulk bins or compacted waste.
- Advantages: Simple and effective for large quantities of materials that are pre-loaded into containers. It reduces manual labor and speeds up the feeding process.

5. Other options:
- Manual Feeding: For smaller-scale operations or when dealing with materials that require sorting, workers might feed materials directly into the baler using forklifts or by hand.

- Forklift: Can be used to lift and drop larger bales or materials into the baler’s feed area.
Each of these methods can be adapted based on the specific baling process, material type, and operational needs. For maximum efficiency, it's important to match the feeding method to the material characteristics and volume.

It is important that clean hydraulic oil is in the pump before running the machine in order to lubricate the bearings and transmission system.
Therefore, do check the pump once you filled up the oil tank, steps as follow:

• Unscrew and remove the oil pipe joint using a wrench.
• Once joint and oil pipe is removed, you can see the oil discharge opening. Fill hydraulic oil through the opening until it is full to the brim. (If there is air in the pump, it will create loud noise when you run it, which might cause damages)
• Reconnect the oil pipe and ensure the joint is tightly fastened.
Upon releasing your baling machine from our factory, we will indicate the required amount of hydraulic oil based on your working condition and environment temperature, and reflect it as Best Oil Level for your baler.
You can easily refer to the “Best Oil Level” stickers as a gauge when you are filling up the oil tank and conduct regular checks on oil level (as seen on picture, slight variation above or below the level line is acceptable).
Taking into consideration that actual operation hours and conditions may varies from time to time, regular checks on oil temperature and level is strongly recommended.
