FachPack

HSM GmbH + Co. KG, the southern German manufacturer of baling presses, PET solutions and document shredders will be at the FachPack exhibition (hall 4, stand 229) from September 24 to 26 to showcase its product solutions for the packaging industry. A novelty is the vertical baling press HSM V-Press 860 plus B. Thanks to the wide feed opening of 1500 mm, it produces particularly large, highly compressed bales of cardboard or foil which can be marketed without further pressing. With a pressing force of 594 kN and the low-noise and energy-saving rapid traverse technology, it is the economical and environmentally friendly solution for many disposal tasks. Thanks to the special Hsm tcs (TorsionControlSystem), the inclination of the pressing plate in all directions is continuously monitored. This prevents one-sided loads, optimises the pressing process and thus ensures a long service life and a high process guarantee. The machine is controlled and operated by a modern microprocessor…

Hornbach Baumarkt AG is optimising processes with a waste management concept The heart of the innovative concept: vertical balers from HSM. 330 of the HSM V-Press 860 and HSM V-Press 1160 max balers compact paper, cardboard and fi lm at 180 points of collection – megastores and logistics and administration centres in nine European countries. The investment for the balers is paid off within a very short period. The concept, said Andreas Back, Head of Quality Management, Environment & CSR at Hornbach, has increased the recycling quota dramatically: “A lot of residual waste has become recyclable material.” Objective: waste separation across Europe Those responsible at Hornbach tested a variety of baler models from various manufacturers in a DIY megastore. In doing so, they very quickly saw “clear differences” in ease of operation, quality and lastly, the price, reported Andreas Back. The “highest quality” and the “best price-performance ratio” were exhibited, in his opinion, by the HSM presses. Back: “We simply had a very good…
