UPAFLEX®
Channel baling presses with either
PET strapping or wire tying
The UPAFLEX model series baling presses achieve throughput rates of up to 60 t/h. A pioneering feature is the horizontal arrangement of the fully automated plastic tying system, with separate cutting section. Machines in this model series have four/fivefold horizontal bale-ties and can optionally be furnished with vertical steel wire tying and other equipment such as a clearing mechanism, material cutter-spreader, and various pump combinations.
- Torsion-resistant press chamber made of heavy profiles and multi-layer, continuously welded steel plates – a basic requirement for dimensionally stable and square-edged bales
- Fully milled base for optimum support of the wear floor, guaranteeing uniform load-bearing surface contact and a long service life
- Easy to replace and easily accessible guide rails made of hardened tool steel guarantee a long service life
- Replaceable, bolted wear plates made of special Hardox steel in the floor and side-wall areas – servicing-friendly and essential for heavy use
- An efficient cutting unit for achieving high cutting forces ensures uniform, shock-free pressing operation
- Easily accessible and easy to replace cutters designed for processing the heaviest material types
- Counter-blade system with large cutter setting angle and extended cutter stroke for optimum application of the cutting force
- Two independently mounted, oversized, greaseable and easily accessible retainer claws per side ensure highly compressed bales
- Solid channel section with surrounding wear protection and maintenance-free wire inlet and outlet, ensuring optimal, quick and reliable bale tying
- The highest corrosion resistance due to fully blasted parts and coatings (corrosion protection class C3)
- Structurally oversized construction for safety in all operations
- Full wear protection guarantees an enhanced service life through all-round panelling with wear plates
- Self-sealing labyrinth seals on both sides
- Heavy, long-life roller guides guarantee a long operating life
- Prefabricated cutting unit with relief for maximum cutting performance
- Quick-release system: i.e. blade replacement without threaded holes – very service friendly
- Press plate connection optimally protected against impact and eccentric strain
- Structurally oversized cylinder connection to absorb high reactive forces
- Optional: hydraulic wire slit closure
- The main cylinder and control block are designed for a maximum pressure of 420 bar to produce absolutely solid and stable high density bales
- Main cylinder designed to form a functional unit with the control block (main lines)
- Oversized plunger rod to absorb the highest reactive forces – important for material that is difficult to compact
- Control block in forged steel design for optimum efficiency and low loss of flow
- For machines starting at 100 t pressing force the control block is mounted directly on the cylinder
- All seals and guide elements have a long service life, due to large cylinder guide lengths
- Short press cycle times, because idle time has been reduced to practically zero in the press plate's reversal points
- Energy efficient and robust hydraulic drive, with either output-regulated axial piston pumps or internal gear pumps for long life cycles
- Peak pressure 400 bar
- Operating pressure up to 310 bar for optimal compacting
- Generously sized oil reservoir, optionally with oil catch basin pursuant to the Ordinance on Installations for the Handling of Substances Hazardous to Water (AwSV), with oil leak warning device for additional safety
- Oversized cooling and filter system designed for continuous operation
- Use of the large model series for piping (L instead of S)
- Optional: sound-proofed pump chamber to reduce noise emission
- Exclusive use of reputable suppliers, for a reliable supply of spare parts
- Hoses with burst protection and catch basins on all hydraulic hoses, for maximum safety of equipment operators
- High quality and reliably operating valve technology
- Short cycle times due to the use of a servo pump drive with simultaneously operating hydraulic axes
- Approval for all commercially available 4 mm PET strapping on 235 kg reels
- All parts that come into contact with PET strapping are made of stainless steel
- Wire drawing drive with dual chain guide, for steady guidance of tying pins
- All guide elements are easily accessible from the outside
- Separate, hydraulic wire cutting mechanism for reliable tying operations
- Lower and upper wire insertion system for reliable positioning of the tying wires
- Cost-optimised knotting, reducing wire costs
- Reduced idle times due to extremely short tying cycles
- Optimal accessibility to all wear and wire guiding parts
- Wire breakage monitoring system
- Structurally oversized, rigid design of adjustable channel components
- Fine adjustment of operations through the use of proportional valves and preconfigured parameters saved in the processing menu
- Freely adjustable interval boundaries for all types of material composition, both in automated and manual operation
- Channel adjustment cylinder drive decoupled by servo pump, to generate optimal holding power and to achieve high throughput, even with the most difficult material mixes
- Optional Hardox plate panelling, for the heaviest loads
- Optimal floor area design, for disruption-free run-out of tying wire
- Positioned directly above the cutter unit, easily accessible and service friendly
- Rapid clearing of jammed material in the cutting area in front of the cutting edge
- 25.0 t (250 kN) pressing force, sufficient for even larger accumulations of material
- Quick replacement of the easily accessible, oversized guide rails
- Good absorption of eccentric loads during the stroke, which means a high degree of sturdiness even with heavy materials
- Generously sized valve technology for quick reaction and work times, allowing short stroke times
- Newest generation PLC control, for optimal reliability and easy operation
- Data access to all operating states for optimal control
- Recipe management allows simple and reliable selection of all pressing parameters
- Simple and reliable user guidance system with "push-button" function in automatic and manual modes
- Extensive display of errors and diagnostics, for quick troubleshooting
- Graphic user interface (touch panel)
- Decentralised control concept for sensors and actuators, with minimal wiring effort
- Remote maintenance with real-time access for rapid rectification of errors
- Additional operator stations possible on the compactor
- Large digit display can be mounted at different places on the periphery of the machine
- Optional: Operation data recording using UBIS (unoTech baler information system)
- High availability due to the high technical standards in design and manufacture
- Maintenance-friendly maintenance flaps, which allow safe access to areas subject to soiling
- Large maintenance doors on both sides of the press chamber
- Systematic placement of access stairways to all maintenance zones situated higher up
- High clearance underneath the machine bed for convenient cleaning
- Easy replacement of wear parts such as cutting blades, wear plates, and wire diverter pulleys through large servicing doors with quick-release latches
- Help desk functionality from service employees in the customer service department through remote maintenance in real time
