Pre-press Flap

Bollegraaf Feature Spotlight: Pre-press Flap

The main benefit of Bollegraaf’s pre-press flap is that the baler does not shear. It uses compression to shape the bales into homogeneous cubes.

No shearing means less energy used, lower maintenance costs, faster baling cycles, denser and more even bales, less wear on floor and frame, no hydraulic shock caused by shearing, and no rebaling necessary.

High Speeds: The baler runs at a higher speed since material can be loaded on top of the flap during the compression cycle. This enables faster production. On some grades, Bollegraaf balers run 2 and 3 times as fast as other balers.

Better Quality Output: The pre-press flap helps the material be homogenized into evenly distributed bales and allows you to stack bales more effectively.

Ability to Bale Difficult Grades: The pre-press flap enables baling of grades that are difficult to shear, such as phone books and magazines.
