Torontech offers two models with different chamber sizes, each delivering 120 tons of pressing force. The systems draw 15 kW and 22 kW of power, respectively. Designed for tire recycling facilities, waste management companies, and scrap processing operations, these vertical tire balers reduce the storage volume of bulky rubber waste and simplify transportation. With machine weights of 7 and 12 tonnes, the two configurations provide the structural capacity required for high-force tire compaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTires naturally resist compression because their elastic rubber construction tends to recover its original shape when pressure is released. To prevent compressed tires from expanding, the ToronBale™ VT features retractable retainer claws that mechanically secure each compressed layer throughout the baling process. The specifications also distinguish between the initial bale dimensions and the dimensions after expansion. These expanded measurements are important when planning warehouse storage, truck transport, and shipping container capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth vertical tire baler models feature a split-platen design consisting of two sections connected by movable links. Since tires create uneven contact surfaces during compression, a rigid, single-piece platen can experience uneven loading and unwanted twisting. The linked platen sections adjust to the tire arrangement, helping distribute pressure across irregular loads. An integrated hydraulic oil cooling system, available in air-cooled or water-cooled configurations, manages heat generated during sustained compression. These features support consistent operation and reliable tire baling in demanding industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVertical Tire Baler – ToronBale™ VT Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ToronBale™ VT Vertical Tire Baler supports industries that collect, process, store, and transport scrap tires.

Unlike aluminum scrap or corrugated cardboard, tires retain substantial elastic recovery, while steel belts and reinforced bead rings add structural stiffness that resists folding. As a result, compressed tires require mechanical restraint to maintain bale integrity after hydraulic pressure is released. The ToronBale™ VT addresses this behavior with retractable retainer claws that secure individual tire layers and help control expansion during bale formation and release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBale expansion is an important factor in tire baler operation and storage planning. The smaller model produces a compressed bale measuring 1,530 × 790 mm, which expands to 1,600 × 850 mm after release. The larger model increases from 2,100 × 1,200 mm under compression to 2,200 × 1,300 mm after expansion. These final dimensions should guide shipping container calculations, warehouse layout, and storage rack spacing. Bale strapping must also withstand the continuous outward pressure exerted by the compressed rubber to maintain the bale's shape during handling and transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ToronBale™ VT models deliver 120 tons of pressing force, but their different chamber sizes affect the resulting bale dimensions and density. The smaller chamber applies force across an area of approximately 1.2 m², achieving a reported bale density of around 690 kg\/m³. The larger chamber distributes the same pressing force across approximately 2.5 m², producing larger bales at a reported density of around 540 kg\/m³. Selecting the appropriate model therefore depends on whether an operation prioritizes higher bale density and compact storage or larger bale dimensions for processing and transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVertical Tire Baler - ToronBale™ VT Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"853\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VT-120S\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VT-120L\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePress Force\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 tons (approx. 1,177 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 tons (approx. 1,177 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaling Chamber Size (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,530 × 790 × 1,800 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,100 × 1,200 × 2,100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Size (L × W × H, H adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,530 × 790 × (500 to 1,200) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,100 × 1,200 × (700 to 1,400) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Size After Expansion (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,600 × 850 × 1,200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,200 × 1,300 × 1,400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 tonne\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.9 tonnes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCooling System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir cooler or water cooler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir cooler or water cooler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 tonnes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 tonnes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Size (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,734 × 1,098 × 3,700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4,231 × 1,510 × 4,300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Ejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic chain ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic chain ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChamber Access\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront and rear opening doors, hydraulically driven\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront and rear opening doors, hydraulically driven\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Handled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar, truck, and bus tires, rubber products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar, truck, and bus tires, rubber products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Torontech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51033085935855,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/vertical-tire-baler104651191.webp?v=1791889777","url":"https:\/\/shop.torontech.com\/fr\/products\/vertical-tire-baler","provider":"Torontech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
