According to a Sierra news release, the baler can be deployed across the scrap metal and recycling industries. "It will bale all nonferrous material, including difficult to bale items like stainless steel, wire and radiators as well as recyclables such as OCC (old corrugated containers), plastics and paper," the company says.
Sierra International is marketing the REB-1 as "the only baler designed by scrap processors for the scrap processing industry."
The REB-1 can be run in automatic mode or with an operator. It features a remote power pack designed for ease of installation; a 3-micron filtration system that cleans the hydraulic oil when the baler is offline; and stationary shear knives with segmented, serrated edges that have four usable sides.

Van Dyk Baler Announces Two Recent InstallationsStamford, Conn.-based Van Dyk Baler Corp., the North American distributor of Bollegraaf Recycling Machinery, has begun installing single-stream recycling systems at two facilities.
Van Dyk recently began the installation of a single-stream system for Greenstar North America at the recycling company’s San Antonio, Texas, material recovery facility (MRF). When operational, the system will be able to process more than 50 tons of recyclables per hour. It will include a Lubo OCC (old corrugated container) screen, six Lubo single-stream screens and seven TiTech optical sorters to process old news, mixed paper and to automatically sort PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and HDPE (high-densty polyethylene) containers by color and mixed plastics one through seven. The system also includes a Lubo Glass Cleanup system. The container line is fully automatic and emphasizes high quality material and increased recovery levels, according to Van Dyk.
After the single-stream recyclables have been separated, they will be baled using either the Bollegraaf HBC 140 or the Bollegraaf HBC 120 balers.
Van Dyk also has announced that Canusa Hershman Recycling of Virginia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canusa Hershman Recycling Co., recently opened a single-stream material recycling facility that uses equipment designed and installed by Van Dyk.
The facility, in Manassas, Va., features a 50-ton-per-hour single-stream system that includes three TiTech optical sorters and a Bollegraaf HBC 140 baler.

Franklin Miller
The TM8516i shredder from Franklin Miller, Livingston, N.J., features low-speed, high-torque counter-rotating cutters that shear and shred a variety of material, from wood to plastics to documents. According to Franklin Miller, the TM8516i can be used to re-process scrap, reduce waste and pre-condition materials for further processing.
The unit can be used in wet, dry, gravity or pressurized environments. It is equipped with a stand, hopper and control as standard.
The TM8516i is supplied with a variety of cutter configurations for fine or coarse output; a mechanical seal system; low-speed, high-torque operation; and a direct cycloidal gear drive. The shredder is available as a stand-alone unit, in dual-stage designs or as part of complete custom-engineered, size-reduction systems. The units are available in stainless steel construction. A supplied S260 Automatic Control System senses jam conditions and automatically cycles the unit rotation to clear the blockage.
Typical units employ a three horsepower to five horsepower motor with a heavy-duty gear drive.
