Designed from the ground up for the unique challenge of baling high memory materials, MAX-PAK ‘F’ Series balers will out perform even balers that cost significantly more. Wide mouth feed openings eliminate the need for shredders when foam goes into our balers; the spring loaded retention system keeps it in place; and our unique design provides superior bale escapement when you’re done.

Our Foam/Film Balers are not just a modification to an existing machine design. We’ve learned you can’t efficiently bale high memory materials with a typical multi-use or cardboard baler. Because we’ve gone the extra measure to design specifically for Foam and Film, MAX-PAK users find our ‘F’ Series Balers easy and safe to use as well as very cost effective, out performing other ‘lesser’ equipment. MAX-PAK Foam/Film Balers produce heavier bales – about 1300 lbs. from Polyurethane foam, and up to 1500 lbs. from heavier medical and packing foam materials. Heavier bales mean greater transport efficiencies and lower freight costs. MAX-PAK Foam/Film balers can produce a dense, heavy foam bale in approximately 30 minutes. The same material may take a cardboard baler up to 3 HOURS to produce a bale. In-feed openings in ‘F’ Series Balers are almost three times the size of typical cardboard baler openings. Smaller in-feed openings mean that other manufacturers must often add a shredder to their baling system, to reduce the size of foam particulates being baled. MAX-PAK ‘F’ Series Balers use a longer ram cylinder stroke to force more air from the foam as it is being compressed. Typical horizontal cardboard balers use a stroke of 88 inches, while the foam baler has a stroke of 105 inches, which results in higher bale densities. As air is expressed out of foam, the next critical step is retention. A cardboard baler will use 6-inch retention dogs, which is fine for cardboard but not very effective for foam. MAX-PAK ‘F’ Series Balers are designed with 15-inch ‘elephant ear’ retention dogs that penetrate the bale sides a full 12 inches to hold the compressed foam in the baling chamber completely. Foam bales also require specialized sheering equipment not found on cardboard balers. MAX-PAK has designed a serrated knife and sheer system for our ‘F’ Series Balers that cuts through foam cleanly, and prevents material from becoming trapped under the ram and jamming the baler. The MAX-PAK Foam/Film Baler is designed for easier bale escapement with a tapered bale chamber that goes beyond the typical taper in cardboard balers. There are more than a dozen other key design differences that separate MAX-PAK Foam/Film Balers from the rest of the field. These proprietary features have placed MAX-PAK ‘F’ Series Balers in a class by itself when it comes to serving the baling needs of the Foam and Film industries. Call 1-800-225-6458 to find a dealer!
