Low noise levels - a prioritized question 

Orwak has environmental as well as working environmental issues at heart! Low noise levels are a prioritized question for us and due to new hydraulics we have achieved very satisfying results in our latest product development! Two years ago Orwak introduced “the silent family” - a line of balers with a low noise level.  The family has grown from the original three members to the current seven.

Pleasant working environment

A silent operation contributes to a good working environment for employees and plays an important role when the baler is placed in an environment close to the customer. 

By investing in a quietly running baler there are several advantages to gain:

• Helps you meet the legal obligations and fulfil your responsibility as an employer
• Contributes to a healthy and an attractive working environment for employees
• Offers convenient compaction at source close to customers without causing disturbance

As quiet as the human voice

Model 3410 has a noise level of only 59.5 dB, which can be put into perspective when knowing that the sound level of an ordinary conversation is about 60 dB. The low noise level is however not the only advantage, thus the silent family has several other valuable new features to offer!

Fast running balers

The silent family is an efficient partner in waste compaction and due to new technology; the cycle time is reduced considerably compared with the predecessors. The shorter cycle time saves several valuable seconds per cycle as it lets the operator start reloading the baler quicker. 

Cardboard or plastic? A flexible choice!

All the new balers are equipped with a material selector, which makes it easy to change the setting between cardboard (high pressure) and plastic foil (low pressure). Model 3105 is especially adapted to soft plastic. Thus when the baler is in the “plastic mode” the press plate stays down and keeps the material under pressure for some additional seconds for a more effective compaction.

Lightweight or commercial bales

The balers in the silent family display a broad capacity range in press force and thereby a variety of options in terms of bale size and bale weight to meet your demands! The smallest balers, Orwak 3105 and 3110, are perfect for small amounts of waste and they produce light bales, which are easily handled with Orwak’s bale trolley. For large volumes of recyclable packaging material, Orwak 3610, our strongest front loaded baler, provides powerful compaction of the material into dense commercial bales. The bales weigh up to 550 kg and are suitable for direct sales to the recycling industry. 

Automatic door and autostart

An automatic sliding door and autostart are standard features on the three largest balers Orwak 3410-SD, 3610 and 3810. The autostart function allows the baler to start compacting the material as soon as the operator closes the door and the sliding door opens automatically after each completed cycle. These features are perfect in environments where large amounts of waste are generated continuously or where boxes and other packaging material easily pile up at certain peaks - for example Monday mornings in a supermarket store. The door is always open for more material! The little twins, model 3105 and 3110, are also equipped with autostart as standard.
