THE BALER IN SUMMARY The new GPS ELV and ferrous and non-ferrous scrap baler represents the best combination of strength, productivity and efficiency. A new box design and closing system with distributed force with three rams per lid contains all of our experience and offers authentic innovative characteristics which set a complete new standard when it comes to ELV and light scrap processing. The extreme strength combined to a fluid operability and speed of work cycle makes the new S5 Evolution a key partner in the scrapyard daily job. Average monthly productivity (based on one shift): up to 2.500 tons / month ELV up to 1.800 tons / month light scrap The productivity depends on the type of material and the baling density. UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF GPS M-GENERATION BALERS: The installation is very fast and the plant is ready to work in only few moments. Robust and modern industrial design. State-of-the-art hydraulics plant with low energy consumption. 100% developed trouble shooting assistance system. Every component is easy accessible for maintenance. Extremely customizable according to the production needs of the scrap yard.
CHOOSING THE MOST SUITABLE PLANT The GPS M5 and M6 balers are built with a modular design which makes it possible to deliver the units in many different configurations. The baler It s composed of machine body, an integrated platform with hydraulic unit. The diesel engine can be easily soundproofed. Once loaded into the open charging box, the scrap material is folded into the box by the lids until the charging box is closed, then the bale is formed by compressing the material inside the box by the pusher cylinder. The innovative box configuration allows increased lid movements, the design of which offers rapid and efficient charging box closure as well as increased scrap material compaction capability well above industry standards. The entire closing cycle of the lids can be done automatically (option). The compacted material is then pushed by the pusher cylinder toward the bulkhead section or bale ejector door (option) and can be then lifted out of the box by means of a grapple of ejected through the door (option). The M5 and M6 balers come with multiple options which can be more or less all combined. Bale ejector door Remote control Control cabin Crane, cabin and grapple Lifting jack legs These options make the M-Generation balers the most flexible machines on the market.
Further technical characteristics that make this shear baler the TOP OF ITS RANGE: The internal surfaces of box and lids are entirely covered with tick high-strength wear-resistant steel Hardox 450 liner plates to make the structure even more robust and compact. The detailed finishes and a wide operator cabin with high visibility (optional) equipped with all comforts are further characteristics of this baler able to satisfy the needs of most demanding clients. The restrictions of the shearing process are described in the section named PROCESS DESCRIPTION.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION General info The out-put quality of processed material depends on quality and dimensions of feed material. Optimum results in terms of capacity, wear and purity of out-put material are achieved by a correct interaction of following process operations: - Material preparation - Pre-sorting - Pre-processing of material - Material loading - Material baling - Clearing of scrap ejection area Material preparation Already at this very important stage productivity and the cost-effectiveness can be influenced. Optimisation is ensured by processing only batches of suitable scrap material. Pre-sorting The cost-effectiveness of the plant is very much dependent on the pre-sorting of material. This will determine both the per hour capacity and the quality and therefore the value of the end product. Therefore it is recommended to separate the material into main types immediately on delivery. At the same time unwanted materials should be removed so as not to affect the quality and value of end product. Pre-processing of material Considerable quantity of material can be loaded directly in the charging box, taking care not to overload it. Over sized scrap material of a suitable nature for shearing which will not fit into the charging box needs to be pre sized with a crane mounted shear or by torch cutting prior to processing in the shear. Material loading The charging box or the pre-loading table (optional) is to be loaded with scrap material through the use of a standard scrap handler.
Material should be equally spread out over the loading area in order to make the box closing process as quick as possible causing the least possible amount of wear to the machine. Overcharging the box will reduce end of the day tonnage due to longer closing times and drastically increase the wear of the equipment. Material baling Once the optimal scrap quantity has been loaded into the charging box, the compacting phase starts: 1. closure of lids: the operator manoeuvres the lids to compact the material inside the box until the lids can close; 2. (if available) the ejector door descends closing the opposite end of compaction box; 3. the closed box forms the compaction box; 4. the pushing cylinder presses the material against the opposite end of the compacting box; 5. once the full baling pressure has been reached, the bale can be lifted out of the box by means of a grapple, or if available the ejector door rises and the pusher cylinder ejects the bale by pushing it out of the opposite end of the charging box; 6. once the bale has been ejected the cycle has completed and all cylinders return to the initial position to allow the start of a new cycle. Clearing of scrap ejection area During the baling cycles the ejected and processed material will tend to build around the machine and the bale eject area. The operators (crane and baler) must monitor this area carefully and avoid material to build up. If not promptly removed material will obstruct the ejection area and cause severe damage to the guides and to the rod of the ejector door ram. Installation The GPS balers are installed in very short time. The installation can be made by the client and his own installation crew under the supervision of a GPS Service Technician or by request can be totally undertaken by the GPS Service Department or a licensed GPS reseller.
Foundation The machine has to be mounted onto a concrete base or steel supporting frame. The base or steel frame is required to keep the machine in a horizontal position and clear from scrap and debris and allow for easy maintenance. Material that can NOT be processed Material that exceeds the size of the charging box Inflammable and/or explosive material Material which by its nature and structure may damage the charging box and/or lid hinges, pusher block or the components mounted inside the shear head. Material containing inflammable liquids and/or batteries.

PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTIVITY M5 baler M6 baler Bales per hour (*) 35 30 +- nr/hour (*) ELV bales (750 kg/average) 26 21 +- t/hour (*) Scrap bales (350 kg/average) 12.5 10.5 +- t/hour (*) * The productivity is based on continuing and constant feeding, with homogeneous material. The productivity here accounted is based on real production data but can change noticeably respect to the kind of material processed, the feeding phase and the number of movements required for closing the box. The productivity of each baler depends always by the loading ability of the feeding crane operator. Comments: The speed and method of feeding, regularity of feed material dimension as well in-feed material type and density, the cutting length as well as other external factors can influence the performance of the shear. After the installation it s recommended to check the real plant productivity. Due to previously mentioned factors productivity and results can vary considerably from installation to installation.
