A channel baler is a fully automatic horizontal baler that compresses paper, cardboard, plastics, domestic waste or metal cans into dense, homogeneous bales that are easy to store and transport. ANIS channel balers deliver up to 205 tonnes of main ram force and an output from 2 to over 60 tonnes per hour, with shear or pre-press technology matched to your material.
Thanks to their long-established design, ANIS balers work fast, are extremely reliable and offer the best ROI (return on investment).
Simple horizontal baling presses with or without the tying device (can be added on later). Simpler construction methods, designed for customers that would like to solve waste issues at the lowest cost.
Heavy-duty construction that is designed for commercial centers or companies that are primarily involved in waste management.
The pre-press baler line contains all the developments from ANIS »PREMIUM line« shear baler with the addition of pre-compression flaps and provides extremely heavy, homogenous and compact bales. It is equipped with the shear blades and pre-pressing with two options: Single Prepress Flap – at the rear of the feeding opening, or Double lateral Prepress […]
All baling presses are equipped with shear blades to handle excess material. ANIS can install a pre-press system using double lateral press flaps on the both sides of the filling opening.
A channel baler is a horizontal baling press in which material enters through a feed hopper, is compressed by the main ram into a closed channel and leaves the channel as a finished, tied bale. Because each new charge pushes the previous bale forward, the baler works continuously. That makes it the standard machine for recycling centres and MRFs, cardboard packaging companies, plastic recyclers and waste management companies that process large, steady volumes of material. For a step-by-step explanation, see how a baler works.
Most baler manufacturers offer one specific baler technology: some strictly advocate pre-compacting with a single big flap, some with double lateral flaps, others shear (cutting) technology. ANIS doesn’t.
The most suitable press technology depends on your type of business and the materials you process.
Sometimes a baler with shear blades, called a shear baler, is better; sometimes a pre-press baler with a big single flap works better with materials like PET and plastic film; and when high throughput is required, a baler with double lateral pre-press flaps is the best option. The differences are explained in our shear baler vs pre-press comparison.
Shear (cutting) and pre-flap (pre-press) technologies:
ANIS offers shear and pre-press configurations, including a no-shear option for suitable applications.
| Series | Technology | Typical materials | Key data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low Production Volume | Shear blades; clearance baler option without shears | Light trim and shredded material | 50–60 t, feed opening 1,000 or 1,300 mm, bale 750 × 750 or 1,100 × 750 mm |
| Med & High Load | Shear blades | Heavier board trim, shredded and mixed materials | 60–200 t, feed opening 1,300, 1,600 or 1,900 mm, bale up to 1,100 × 1,100 mm |
| Single Pre-press Flap | Pre-press, big single flap; with shear blades or as a no-shear clearance baler | PET, plastic film, large cardboard boxes | 60–142 t, feed opening 1,600 mm, bale 1,100 × 750 or 1,100 × 1,100 mm |
| Double Pre-press Flaps | Pre-press, double lateral flaps, with shear blades | Large cardboard boxes, plastics, RDF and paper | 60–142 t, feed opening 1,600 or 1,900 mm, bale 1,100 × 750 or 1,100 × 1,100 mm |
Highly compacted and stackable bales for optimal truck loading are the best proof of the efficiency of these channel balers.
The feed hopper is adapted to the selected infeed method, from an infeed conveyor belt to manual loading, an air transport system, a bin tipper, a duct or chute, or a grapple:
Paper, cardboard, plastics, domestic waste and metal cans – each with its own settings.
A shear baler cuts material that overhangs the feed opening with shear blades. A pre-press baler first compresses the material in the hopper with a single big flap or double lateral flaps, which suits materials like PET and plastic film and raises throughput. Pre-press can be combined with shear blades or, in the clearance baler option, remove the need for them.
Depending on the model, ANIS channel balers deliver up to 205 tonnes of main ram force and an output from 2 to over 60 tonnes per hour.
Yes. The control software stores optimal settings for different materials, so the baler keeps bale quality high even when the material changes frequently – as in MRF balers that switch between paper, cardboard, plastics and cans.
By infeed conveyor belt, by hand, by an air transport system, with a bin tipper, through a duct or chute, or with a grapple. The feed hopper is adapted to the chosen method.
