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, with multiple horsepower options and several hopper sizes to fit virtually any production requirement.
- Bale sizes 36″–42″ wide × 42″ high × variable length, up to 2,500 lbs; advanced automatic 6-wire bale tier.
- Interlocking chassis and ram of high-strength plate steel — stress is absorbed by interlocked plate, not welds alone.
- Advanced progressive shear-blade design with 30″ penetration reduces shear jams; replaceable double-edge hardened tool-steel blades.
- High-strength steel-plate floor reinforced with replaceable AR400 abrasion-resistant wear liner.
- Main ram guided/sealed by long-wearing NylOil wear plates; spring-loaded AR400 scraper seals the top.
- Electronically interlocked, padlockable chassis service door.
- Maren’s exclusive key-lock main-cylinder mount.
- Optional electric hoist wire-loading boom.
