Torontech designed this compact cardboard baling machine around a cross-cylinder hydraulic layout that places the rams inside the frame rather than stacking them above the chamber. At just 2,225 mm (about 7 ft 4 in) tall, it fits under the ceiling clearance of most retail stockrooms and warehouse mezzanines, with no structural changes required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo Press-Force Models for Different Baling Volumes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChoose the capacity that suits your cardboard recycling output:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 ton model: produces 200 to 400 kg bales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 ton model: produces 300 to 500 kg bales on the same 1,200 x 800 mm footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth models include a 1,050 x 550 mm feed opening sized for flattened shipping cartons and a 1,600 mm baling chamber.

PLC control keeps bale weight consistent from cycle to cycle, which makes pricing simpler when selling to recyclers who buy by the ton. An automatic bale ejector pushes each finished bale out of the chamber, eliminating the manual tipping step that slows older vertical balers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLow-Profile Cardboard Baler Applications | ToronBale™ CB\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ToronBale™ CB low-profile cardboard baler suits any operation that generates steady volumes of dry recyclables and has limited overhead clearance.

Pressurized hydraulic fluid drives the cylinders, which transmit force through the platen to the material below. Corrugated cardboard is elastic at first and springs back as the platen retreats. Once compaction passes the point where the flute structures crush and the fiber surfaces interlock, the material holds its compressed shape long enough for the operator to tie the bale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy a Cross-Cylinder Hydraulic Design Suits Low Ceilings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cross-cylinder arrangement solves a geometry problem that is specific to low-ceiling sites. A single top-mounted cylinder needs the stroke length, cylinder body, and rod extension stacked above the chamber, which pushes overall height past 3 m on any machine with usable capacity. Mounting two cylinders diagonally inside the frame lets the same stroke fit within a 2,225 mm envelope. The crossed geometry also keeps the load path centered on the platen, so uneven material distribution does not tilt the press face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRam Guides and Anti-Rebound Dogs Build Bale Density\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRam guides run along the chamber walls and keep the platen square throughout its travel. Anti-rebound dogs on the chamber sides bite into the compressed layer and stop it from expanding when the platen lifts. Each new charge therefore builds on the last instead of re-compressing recovered material, so bale density accumulates across multiple strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePLC Control for Repeatable Bale Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe PLC monitors cycle count and pressure, then signals a full chamber. This produces the repeatable bale weight that recyclers pay for, which makes it easier to price baled OCC by the ton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLow-Profile Cardboard Baler - ToronBale™ CB Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"864\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ CB-30\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ CB-50\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\u003e30 tons (approx. 294 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 tons (approx. 490 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeed Opening Size (L × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,050 × 550 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,050 × 550 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaling Chamber Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,600 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,600 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\u003e1,200 × 800 × (500 to 1,000) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,200 × 800 × (500 to 1,100) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 to 400 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 to 500 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 kW or 5.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,200 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800 × 1,400 × 2,225 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800 × 1,400 × 2,255 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 70 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 70 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePLC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePLC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Ejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic, two-hand control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic, two-hand control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Handled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCardboard, paper, soft plastic scrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCardboard, paper, soft plastic scrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Torontech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039282921711,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/low-profile-cardboard-baler11077.webp?v=1791915186","url":"https:\/\/shop.torontech.com\/products\/low-profile-cardboard-baler","provider":"Torontech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
