Maren ProPak A160 Auto Tie Shear Baler

Condition: OEM New
Make: Maren

Maren balers have long been regarded as the standard of the box, printing, and process industries. The Maren ProPAK-A Series takes that standard to an even higher level — built specifically for the difficult duty cycle required in corrugated box, folding carton, printing, converting, envelope, and tissue industries. For high-volume operations where bale weight, uptime, durability, safety, serviceability, and cleanliness matter, the ProPAK-A Series delivers. Multiple horsepower options and several hopper sizes fulfill virtually any production requirement.

  • “A”-frame single-cylinder tension chamber takes advantage of maximum ram force during full-pressure baling.
  • Bale sizes 30″ × 40″ × variable length, with weights up to 1,750 lbs.
  • Hopper sizes to adapt to any air-conveying system.
  • Advanced automatic 5-wire bale tier with electrically driven inserter and twister.
  • Optional 1,000# bulk wire feed system.
  • Optional easy-lifting electric hoist wire-loading boom.
  • Advanced progressive shear-blade design with 30″ penetration reduces shear jams and uses maximum ram pressure
  • Interlocking baler chassis and ram of high-strength plate steel, significantly increasing weld-joint strength.
  • High-strength steel-plate floor reinforced with a replaceable AR400 abrasion-resistant wear plate.
  • Main ram guided and sealed on bottom and sides by long-wearing NylOil wear plates; top sealed with a
  • Chassis service door (electronically interlocked, padlockable) for access ahead of and behind the main ram.
  • Maren’s exclusive key-lock main-cylinder mount removes cylinder tension from bolts for easy service and durability.
