The ever-increasing use of plastic and cardboard, as well as the growing mountains of packaging waste, have also increased the demands on recycling. Storage areas need to be used more and more efficiently or are often not available at all. HSM baling presses reduce the volume of recyclable materials by up to 95 % and, with the unmixed bales, produce a secondary raw material, which is reintegrated into the recycling circuit. Positive side effect: the bales have considerable market value when they are above a certain weight. The high compression of the HSM balers saves storage space and reduces the burden on transportation. Another advantage is that less strapping material is required. The HSM V-Press vertical baler models combine the quality requirements of HSM with high profitability. Their performance and longevity make them an economical waste management solution. The HSM V-Press reduces the costs on the usually underestimated "waste disposal" cost centre. An…

The family company P.U.H. Kondzłomex Szymon Woźny has been collecting and recycling secondary raw materials such as waste paper and foil for over 20 years. Right from the start they used HSM baling presses. The fully automatic channel baling press installed in 2013 was no longer able to cope with the increasing throughput and a bigger solution was needed. After intensive research they once again struck lucky with HSM and the HSM VK 6015 has now been in service for some time, and with good results, in Jaraczewo in the municipality of Szydłowo, a village in the north-west of Poland. The owner-run company currently has five employees, all of whom are in no doubt about the quality of the German machines. P.U.H. Kondzłomex first came into contact with the baling press manufacturer HSM when it began operating in 1995 and it purchased a second-hand HSM vertical baling press in very good condition. In the years that followed the company continued to grow…

Hornbach Baumarkt AG is optimising processes within their DIY megastores 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 film 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.” The objective was a waste management concept that foresaw waste separation and a container registry for more transparency. Additionally, the journeys within the incoming goods areas of the DIY megastores and garden centres were to be optimised so that employees could work more effectively. Disposal of the recyclable material was to become independent of a recycling partner. It quickly became apparent to Andreas Back and his colleagues at the…

HSM baling presses reduce the volume of valuable materials by up to 95 % and, with the unmixed bales, produce a secondary raw material, which is reintegrated into the recycling circuit. Positive side effect: The bales have considerable market value when they are above a certain weight. The HSM V-Press models combine the quality requirements of HSM with high profitability. Their performance and longevity make them an economical waste management solution. The HSM V-Press reduces costs at the usually underestimated "waste disposal" cost centre. An absolute defining feature is the HSM V-Press 860 plus B with sliding door and hand-wheel door lock. 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…

End of May, guests from all over the world once again followed the invitation of HSM Close to 90 experts from the disposal sector as well as HSM's distribution partners travelled from all over the world to convene at Lake Constance.

In its company history, now spanning almost fifty years, HSM always kept an eye on future markets and developments. For example, the introduction of the container-deposit legislation for PET bottles in Germany in 2005. To this day, HSM, with its patented crusher technology, is a supplier to almost all notable reverse vending machine manufacturers. Two years later, this was followed by the construction of one of the largest fully automated channel baling presses in HSM's product range – the HSM VK 12018, with 120 tonnes of pressing force. Driven by…

Savings of more than 100,000 euros per year and a return on investment of nine months The additives and flavourings manufacturer Van hees gmbH is delighted with its five HSM baling presses, which are helping the company to avoid transport costs as well as optimise internal processes. The company now find themselves earning money from its waste. Five years after the initial introduction of the HSM V-Press 860 S at Van hees, “this machine is still running perfectly,” reports Wohlbold. “It has never really given us any problems.” Furthermore it is put to the test since compressing large bags is no easy task. In any case, the material is expansive and the residues are very aggressive: salts, acetate, flavourings, etc. Wohlbold: “Regular maintenance, a deep clean once a year, and on it goes.” Van hees started with one baling press; it now has five HSM V-Press 860s in service. Three in the blending plant, one in the filling plant and one in goods-in/goods-issue for cardboard. There are also two manually operated mobile HSM V-Press 60 baling presses…

Yesterday, worthless waste was produced. Today Paul hartmann ag produces marketable bales made of cardboard and polyethylene weighing 400 kilograms. The bales of used cardboard go to the cardboard supplier and thus reduce the costs for new packaging material. ”A perfect recycling material loop”, according to the person responsible at the manufacturer of medical devices. Key players in the success story: a horizontal baling press HSM HL 4812 and a vertical baling press HSM V-Press 860 S. Currently for about three hours a day, an employee is employed in the Homecare Logistics department to press both waste fractions and prepare them for dispatch. HSM advantage: if one machine fails, the other machine can also take over the fraction and compress it. Every six weeks a truck fetches the bales – it can load just under 60 of the 400 kilo packages. The customers for the bales are happy with the new raw material from Heidenheim, reports Michael Kormann: ”Correctly sorted, unsoiled, of constant quality and…
