Part of Valvan’s large bale baler range, the V75S3250-SK-VS2 produces dense, uniform bales that are easy to store, transport and handle throughout the recycling chain. Depending on the application and material characteristics, the system can be configured to produce bales weighing between 300 and 600 kg. Large bale balers are commonly used for collected textiles, sorted fractions and recycled materials that require efficient storage and logistics management.
The machine featured in this video is equipped with several automation options designed to reduce manual handling and increase productivity. Once a bale has been produced, an automatic strapping system securely binds the bale, ensuring stability during handling and transport. The installation can also be equipped with automatic bale evacuation, allowing finished bales to be removed efficiently while preparing the press for the next production cycle. These features help reduce operator intervention and support a continuous workflow.
A key feature of this installation is its innovative bale tilting system. The tilting mechanism incorporates a bottom pressing plate operated through two-hand controls, giving operators greater control over the bale discharge process. A strategically positioned mirror provides clear visibility of the surrounding area, allowing operators to verify that the discharge zone is clear before releasing a finished bale. This improves both safety and operational efficiency while reducing the need for constant supervision at the control panel.
To further enhance workplace safety, the system includes an additional protected discharge area surrounded by fixed fencing and secured by a safety gate. Finished bales are safely deposited within this designated zone, where they can be removed using a forklift truck without interfering with the baling process. Opening the safety gate immediately stops machine operation, preventing unintended access to the active discharge area. Once the area has been checked and secured, operation can be safely restarted from the control panel.
By combining robust baling performance, automation and advanced safety features, the V75S3250-SK-VS2 helps textile recyclers increase efficiency, improve operator safety and optimise the handling of large textile bales within demanding recycling environments.
