AL5000 mobile baler
General description of the Sierra AL5000 mobile baler In the world of scrap metal processing, equipment value and capability are essential to a profitable business, and the Sierra AL5000 mobile baler delivers on both counts. A mobile baler / logger that s sized perfectly for cost-conscious operators. With its rugged self-framed construction the Sierra AL5000 mobile baler incorporates features found in machines much more costly. Our highly efficient hydraulic and power unit allow our customers to prepare their material with a very low cost per ton ratio. This means a higher operational margin and a higher profit. The production capacity of this machine is unique for a machine of this segment. The AL5000 has been designed with utmost care to those details which are characteristic of all Sierra products. Cylinder and hose protections Hard surface cylinder rods
Magnet filter system Liquid collection basin with drain Main cylinders are equipped with infinitely variable positioning system Clean and simple and highly efficient hydraulics
Power unit The advanced Sierra technology enables us to reach high production levels with only a 230 HP engine. This translates into low processing costs. The power unit of all Sierra machines has been designed in such a way that the least possible amount of energy is needed to obtain the highest possible output ratio. The gear reduction and pump coupling device is separately cooled to increase lifetime and performance. Diesel engine Brand Diesel tank 230 HP TURBO, Water cooled Iveco NEF 500 litre Optional engine and pump sound reduction system
Hydraulic unit The AL5000 mobile baler baler and logger uses top of the line cast iron gear pumps. This combination guarantees the best possible speed with lowest possible energy consumption. Piston pumps can be found on the Predator series Independent and forced cooling system The above system is used on all AL5000 mobile balers. Main pumps Crane pump Cooling pump Working pressure Pressure relieve system Oil tank capacity Oil cooling Oil heating Filtration system with magnets 2 double stage 1 single stage 1 single stage 250 bar max. included 1.200 l included option included
Control unit and crane A large and comfortable cabin with full glass panel allows for total visibility of the working area. The cabin is equipped with a comfortable seat, air conditioning and sound system. Ergonomic and easy to use controls enable a reliable and fast operation of the mobile AL5000 mobile baler with crane. The machine is equipped with 3 static and one mobile stabilizer for enhanced safety of the operator The unparalleled superiority of all Sierra components have proven to be the most reliable in the industry. They are particularly well suited for the scrap yard environment where vibrations, dirt, dust and humidity prove to be fatal to most common components. The control panel is situated on the cabin which contains all electrical components of the machine. This unit is located inside the operators cabin.

Charging box 5.000 mm 1.000 x 600 mm 2.600 mm 1.800 mm The unique Sierra charging box design enable to size material quickly and to close the box without losing precious time. The production capacity of any baler is determined by the amount of time needed to closed the charging box. All Sierra charging boxes are fully lined with replaceable Hardox 400 plates. Charging box open length 5.000 mm width 2.600 mm Charging box closed length 5.000 mm width 1.000 mm height 600 mm Feed and bale cylinder 135 t x 2 Side lid 160 t Lid force 160 t Hammer force 160 t The unique box design has ample force to size any kind of material.
The hinges are never exposed to scrap when the box is closed. This is the case on most competing machines. Replacement of the hinges is a very expensive and time consuming issue. Downtime of weeks must be calculated for this repair. With the unique Sierra design replacement is not necessary as hinges are not subject to wear. The hinges have a diameter of 80 mm The AL5000 mobile baler uses two opposite cylinders and creates a bale in the middle of the box. The solid electro welded structure has to meet very strict quality control procedures. All welds are checked by ultrasound in order to assure a long lifetime.
All cylinders have been fitted with bronze guides and a bronze collar for better wear control The surfaces of all cylinders have been hardened The main baling cylinders have been fitted with an infinitely variable positioning system. This device functions just as limit switches and enable precise and electronic bale length setting. Since it is located inside the rams it is well protected.
