American Baler - Quality Across the Horizon

American Baler has more than six decades of baler design and fabrication experience, and nowhere is this more evident than in its ability to equip recyclers of scrap paper.

The world’s leading baler maker has a deep understanding of secondary fiber, and a number of models within its line of horizontal balers have been designed to help recyclers create superior bales of OCC, ONP, printers’ grades and other scrap paper streams.

Reliable and productive American Baler machines can be found not only at recycling plants, but also at printing press facilities, box plants, distribution centers and other major points of generation where large volumes of material need to be baled quickly and efficiently.

Productivity, durability, innovation and customer support all play a role in the way American Baler supplies the paper recycling industry.

An important reason that buyers choose an American Baler is the knowledge that the company building the product has a history of integrity and a product line that is synonymous with reliability.

The productivity of the balers starts on the very first day, with easy-to-use machines that offer a quick learning curve for operators. Operators are also impressed with low maintenance costs and the comfort of knowing they can concentrate on other aspects of their business while the baling takes care of itself.

When customers do have questions, American Baler and its dealer network are both easy to reach. The company provides skilled service technicians and phone support from its Ohio headquarters, while its regional sales managers and dealer network provide the necessary local support.

In addition to offering a traditional line of time-tested horizontal balers, the company continues to innovate to match the needs of a growing industry.

Among the newer American Baler horizontal models is the DC (distribution center) line of balers, specifically designed for the high-volume OCC stream generated at the distribution centers of major retailers.

The DC baler has proven its worth to Bill Tomasic and Innovative Waste Management of Chino, Calif. In the course of the company’s management of the waste and recycling streams at large retail distribution centers, Tomasic has become a become a true believer in the American Baler DC model.

"The cycle time of these machines allows for greater overall productivity," says Tomasic, "The ability for variables in both weight and size of bales also allows the customer greater flexibility to meet both the domestic and export market demands."

Tomasic has five DC balers at work and three more on order. Each handles a non-stop stream of corrugated and other grades of fiber each day. "I really can’t describe my overall satisfaction with these DC balers," says Tomasic.
