Orwak launches the new high capacity baler Orwak 3605!

January 27, 2010

Orwak’s most recent addition to the baler assortment is Orwak 3605 and it was officially launched in January 2010! It is a new player in the high end of the capacity range. Only about a year ago, Orwak introduced its largest and strongest baler Orwak 3610.

The two models 3605 and 3610 are teaming up to take on the most demanding assignments presented by the customers in the supermarket, industry and warehouse & logistic center segments. Both balers have the same generous loading aperture and a press force of 50 ton! They are designed to efficiently take care of large volumes of packaging material. Cardboard boxes and wrappings are reduced by up to 10:1, as they are firmly compacted into high density bales.  

Two different logistic concepts

Why are there then two similar models in the baler range? Orwak’s machines are exported worldwide and the logistic systems out there are diverse. Furthermore, the customers have different priorities and expectations on what a big baler should offer. To meet these challenges, Orwak has introduced two options.

If it is most important to attain a commercial bale that weighs more than 500 kg, Orwak 3610 is the right choice. 3610 is large and need some space, but it generates a bale that weighs up to 550 kg!

Orwak 3605, on the other hand, offers optimal transport logistics on geographical markets, where the bale dimensions 800 x 1200 mm are required as standard for a maximum pay load per truck. The baler has more compact outer dimensions and it produces a slightly more lightweight bale that weighs up to 450 kg. There is overall a much broader application area with both 3605 and 3610 on the team!

Automatic functions for convenient material handling

The models 3605 and 3610 share many of the same features. For efficient and convenient material handling they are equipped with autostart and a sliding door that opens automatically after each cycle. The door is open and the machine is ready for more material, as soon as the operator approaches it again with armfuls of packaging material. Orwak 3605 and 3610 are suitable for environments where large amounts of waste are generated or where the baler is operated intensely during a specific time of the day.

High or low pressure – the material selector makes the choice easy

Orwak 3605 and 3610 are typical cardboard balers, but with a switch it is easy to change the setting from high pressure “HP” for cardboard to low pressure “LP” for plastic foil. In the HP mode they powerfully strike and flatten a pile a cardboard, while the low 12.6- ton-press force is ideal to - with a lasting result – compact voluminous waste like soft plastic.

Membership in the silent family

Due to a new type of hydraulics, Orwak introduced ”the silent family” - a line of balers with low sound emission - three years ago. With a noise level of 63.9 dB both Orwak 3605 and 3610 are members of the silent family. A silent operating machine contributes to improving the working environment and to create a more pleasant environment for customers, who are often only a thin wall away from the baler!
