Cram-A-Lot 72-Inch Vertical Baler

SKU: VB-72 Category:

In 1978, Cram-A-Lot manufactured its first product: the Cram-A-Lot DB-60, a vertical cardboard baler.

Benefits of Industrial Balers

If you own a business that deals with large amounts of cardboard boxes or other refuse, such as a grocery store, furniture warehouse, or manufacturing facility, you need a way to quickly and efficiently manage these recyclable materials.

If your business produces enough cardboard to fill more than one dumpster per week and spends more than $130 per month on disposal costs, investing in an industrial baler is a good solution. There are other benefits as well. A vertical baler can help you:

  • Reduce handling and hauling costs: Balers can save time and labor costs since they eliminate the need for your employees to break down boxes—a time-consuming and tedious process. Your employees can throw whole or partially broken-down boxes right into the baler and run a bale cycle.
  • Our recycling balers reduce the volume of cardboard by at least 60%. The densely packed cubes can be easily ejected onto pallets and stored neatly for pickup. And because bales take up less room on trucks, you’ll slash your hauling costs.
  • Improve sanitation and tidiness: Piles of cardboard or other recyclable waste is unsightly and can attract rodents and insects. Our vertical balers create tidier, cleaner waste storage areas.
  • Improve your green image: Using a designated baler for cardboard waste can prevent tons of paper waste from ending up in landfills. Municipal waste haulers don’t currently have a good way of separating paper and cardboard to prevent it from getting contaminated by food waste and other garbage. In fact, most paper waste thrown in dumpsters is deemed contaminated by the time it reaches sorting facilities and ends up in landfills.
  • Using a baler produces clean bundles of cardboard that can easily be recycled and aren’t at risk for contamination. By doing so, you ensure your business generates only a small footprint on the environment.
  • Generate income: Cardboard bales are considerably more valuable than loose cardboard. If your business produces tons of this type of material, you can achieve a complete return on investment within months of purchasing a baler in rebates and reduced hauling costs. Baled cardboard sells for an average of about $50 per ton.
  • GTS works with vendor partners all over the U.S. that can pick up baled cardboard free of charge, or offer rebates. This is much more cost-effective than paying several hundred dollars to a hauling service.

VB Baler specific features include:

Loading Door – The system uses gas springs, not a chain and sprocket configuration, to enable smooth opening of the loading door after every compaction stroke. This sharply reduces the risk of user injury.

Side-Mounted Power Unit – The power unit, designed for reliability and simplicity, is positioned on the side of the baler chassis to enable safer, easier maintenance. The direct drive vane pump is mounted onto the motor flange, which eliminates the need for a motor coupler and provides quieter operation, while high-grade components ensure long-term dependability. The directional valve is mounted onto the pump body, which removes up to half of the possible leak points found on similar models.

Control Panel – The innovative design of the control panel reduces the number of  switches, operators, and interlocks by half, which means lower maintenance costs.

Safety Interlock – The operational circuit is controlled by an advanced design that uses an electro-magnet to keep the loading door safely in place until the compaction cycle has been safely completed.

Patented Bale Eject System – Modern design prevents failure of the bale eject system.

ANSI Z245.5 Compliant – The baler meets the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for baling equipment, specifically those found in the ANSI Z245.5 standard. This standard includes requirements and guidelines for the design, construction, installation, maintenance, and operation of baling equipment to ensure proper performance and safety.
