Balemaster® balers
put more green in your pocket.
If you are not baling your waste now, or if you are baling manually, then
you’re spending too much time handling empty cardboard boxes. Balemaster®
balers can do the work for you. Balemaster® wide-mouth auto-ty balers send
money to your bottom line in many ways. Here are just two:
1. Conventional hand tying takes 7 to 10 minutes per bale. But Balemaster®
auto-ty balers process cardboard waste into a dense bale that is
automatically and securely tied in less than 30 seconds.
2. Balemaster® balers produce bales with the highest density per cubic foot.
So there’s more material per volume than any other baler. This reduces
annual baling wire costs and maximizes recycling revenue per load.
Balemaster® balers are engineered to save energy, improve efficiency, reduce
wire usage, and lower maintenance costs. Being green is good business. But
pocketing green is even better.
Don’t crunch the numbers any other way.
Trailer heating unit: Engineered to protect
temperature-sensitive products transported
by trailer or rail through subfreezing ambient
conditions, Carrier Transicold’s Solara heating
unit features the APX control system, providing improved functionality, the company says.
Using a Z482 two-cylinder
diesel engine, compliant with
the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Tier 4 standard,
the Solara unit can generate
50,000 BTU/hour of heating at
0 degrees Fahrenheit ambient
to protect against the freezing
of sensitive commodities such
as produce, beverages, flowers, plants, paints
and chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
The APX controller has an easy-to-read,
full-information dashboard-style display and
is preloaded with Carrier Transicold’s programmable IntelliSet software to create heating parameters for different commodities.
With the APX controller, the DataLink data
recorder is now integral to the Solara unit,
and a USB port makes for easy data downloading and uploading of information to the
controller. Built-in diagnostics simplify service
and troubleshooting for technicians.
Options for the Solara unit include Data Trak
software, which enables remote communications via telematics; flush-mount and sur-face-mount control panels, providing optional
control placement on the outside or inside of
the trailer; fuel-level sensors; an open-door
indicator; and shutdown switches.
Users can choose from fuel tank options
that range from 30 gallons up to 120 gallons.

Lithium-ion battery: Exide Technologies has
launched its GNB LiFTForce LPX lithium-ion
battery in the U.S. The company says the
LiFTForce LPX can charge in just 15 minutes,
up to eight times faster than a traditional
lead-acid battery can, and provides increased
cycle life and lower maintenance requirements for Class I, II, and III forklifts and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The battery is
ideal for large distribution centers and companies that run heavy-duty or multiple shifts,
the company says.
The LiFTForce LPX was first introduced in
Europe in 2013 under the brand name GNB
Sonnenschein Lithium. According to the company, the overall benefits of the LiFTForce LPX
are streamlined operations, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership
compared with traditional lead-acid batteries.
