The LP 60 EH is the latest in the LP series of machines and is new to the market for 2016.
The new model has a 37kW or 45kW motor and can deliver an average throughput of up to 12 tonnes an hour of cardboard.
With an improved press force of 60 tonnes, bale weights are increased and handling and transport costs reduced, Presona claims.
Compared to its sister model the LP 50 EH, the new machine offers significantly increased materials handling capacity and is also available with a Waste Design option (replaceable Hardox wear plates) for difficult and abrasive materials, the manufacturer adds.
‘Customisable’
In a statement, the company, which has its UK head office in Somerset, said: “Fully customisable with a range of bespoke options, the new baler benefits from Presona’s prepress technology. When compared to a traditional shear baler, this delivers a significant reduction in energy costs as all of the power goes into the compaction process. And, because the process is more streamlined, the units suffer less wear and tear, emit less noise, and are more streamlined than their counterparts.”
The machine is capable of processing dry recyclables including paper and plastic bottles as well as industrial waste. It is typically fed by a conveyor system.
