The Marathon® patented line of Side-Eject Horizontal Recycling Balers are uniquely engineered to maximize productivity. They include many features not found on conventional closed-end balers:
Switch recyclables without contamination and maximize the value of your product
Minimize spillage between bales and reduce the need to “double handle” materials
Remove each bale from the bale chamber quickly and easily with the patented Marathon Side-Eject feature and Bale Server Island. Unlike conventional balers that require an operator and forklift to free the bale from the end of the bale chamber, the Marathon Side-Eject design provides consistent and complete bale ejection every time.
Front bale tie off saves valuable floor space and eliminates trips behind the baler
Maximum and consistent bale weights with the Marathon Bale Made Indicator, which signals that the bale is finished. No time consuming “flag pole” or manual measuring device to compromise bale quality.
The Marathon exclusive front bale tie-off system allows the operator to quickly direct tie wires around the bale from the front of the baler. This eliminates the need to go behind the baler and loosen hanging wires that drag as a bale is made.
The chute feed hopper with inspection door and interlock switch will accommodate optional pneumatic, gravity, or conveyor feeding systems.
Spring-loaded container dogs are located on each side of the bale chamber to produce superior springback control of materials being processed.
Marathon Side-Eject Balers feature an hydraulic door latch, standard on all models.
The chute feed hopper with inspection door and interlock switch will accommodate optional pneumatic, gravity, or conveyor feeding systems.
The advanced Marathon power pack is designed so that all of the valves are contained in a single manifold, which minimizes the number of hose connections and potential leak sources.
Spring-loaded container dogs are located on each side of the bale chamber to produce superior spring back control of materials being processed.
Bolt-on adjustable and replaceable shear blades cut material as a bale is made, and minimize problems associated with irregular bales sizes. This makes bales easier to tie and stack.
Marathon Side-Eject Balers feature an hydraulic door latch, standard on all models.
The programmable controller allows for customized programs to better meet customer needs. The controller eliminates the need for relays and timers that take up valuable panel space. All electrical components are UL and CUL listed.
Pressure is relieved from the bale in three directions to achieve positive and complete bale ejection from the chamber.
This advanced method of bale ejection begins by activating the “Home” button, which causes the platen to retract to a pre-set location relieving the end force on the bale. The operator then opens the chamber door, which relieves side force and automatically unlocks the hinged upper section of the chamber to relieve vertical force on the bale. With pressure on the bale effectively relieved from all directions, an hydraulic-powered Server Island, located on the floor of the bale chamber, quickly and completely pushes the bale out of the chamber. The Server Island functions as a pallet, eliminating costly construction of permanent guide islands. After the bale is removed with a forklift or pallet jack, the Server Island is retracted–saving valuable space.
Space-saving Design – Install a Marathon Side-Eject Baler close to a wall or in a tight space. Minimal floor space is needed for operation due to the unique front baler tie-off feature and side-eject design.
