LFA 450 H.FE.PC – Horizontal Baler

We can modify the LFA 450 H.FE.PC baler to your specific needs. We can attach an integrated bin tipper, door dampener and retention claws. We can also adapt the hopper to suit your feeding method, the shearing blades to suit your material and we can also upgrade the motor to decrease the cycle time. For further customisation, contact us and we will try to meet all requirements.

  Benefits

  • Saves on labour from reduced material handling
  • Reduces storage space required for bulky waste
  • Reduces the need to flat pack/break down material

  • Reduces disposal costs and able to generate the maximum income for material

The LFA 450 H.FE.PC is extremely easy to use and requires very little manual work.

Step 1 – Setup

On the side of the bale chamber next to the portcullis door there are four slots with hooks next to each one. Thread the wires through these to the other side of the chamber. Twist the wire onto the hooks on both sides to keep them in place.

Step 2 – Feeding

This step is straight forward – press the green ‘go’ button to put the baler into idle mode. Start feeding the material into the hopper. A magic eye sensor sits at the bottom of the hopper and once the sensor detects material, the baler starts up and runs a full cycle compacting all of the material into the bale chamber. The material catches on the retention claws preventing it from springing back into the charge box. Continue feeding the material into the hopper, it will sit on top of the ram head dropping into the charge box when the ram returns.

Step 3 – When is the bale full?

This baler has an auto stop feature so when the bale is full, lights will flash on the control panel, the ram head stays forward, and the material stays under compression.

Step 4 – Tying off the bale

This baler is a horizontal tie which makes this step very easy. At the side of the bale chamber there are slots where you can see the ram head which has bale wire channels. Unwrap the wire from the hooks and thread the wire (straight end first) through this channel and the wire will come out to the other side where the loop end is. Thread the straight end of the wire through the loop end, pull the wire tight and wrap the wire around itself 3-4 times. Repeat this on the other wires.

Step 5 – Ejecting the bale

Once a bale is created, it needs to be ejected. Place a pallet in front of the portcullis door (if no bale tray). On the control panel, press the ‘eject’ button. The portcullis door will now open vertically, fully eject the bale, return the ram head and close the door. The bale now weighs up to 450kg sat on a pallet ready to be stored for collection.

As simple as that! It probably takes longer to read the operation than to implement it. As part of the package, one of our trusty engineers will come to site and show the team how to operate it in person. Training certification can be supplied if required.

*Note – Refurbished models may vary in its operation slightly, but the principle will remain very similar.
