When we see tightly compressed, neatly packed bales of cardboard being pushed out of the machine, are we curious about the power dynamics going on inside? Understanding its workings not only helps us better operate the machine but also allows us to make more informed decisions when purchasing one. What exactly is the core power source and operating mechanism of this machine? Most cardboard balers rely on hydraulic transmission as their foundation. Simply put, a motor drives a hydraulic pump, converting electrical energy into hydraulic oil pressure energy. This pressure energy is then converted into enormous mechanical energy by a hydraulic cylinder.
When we start the machine and load the cardboard, the powerful main pressure cylinder pushes the ram forward, applying continuous and intense pressure to the loose cardboard. This pressure is sufficient to overcome the elasticity of the cardboard fibers and internal voids, causing them to deform plastically and shrink dramatically. During the compression process, to ensure the uniformity of the bales, the equipment is equipped with a side-pressure or pre-compression device, which first applies pre-compression from the side to ensure maximum compaction.
Once the cardboard has been compressed to the desired size or pressure, the next critical step is bundling. The baler automatically or manually inserts strapping (usually steel or plastic) to securely bind the compressed cardboard sheets and prevent them from springing back loose. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder operates to eject the formed bale from the box, completing the cycle. While seemingly simple, this entire process integrates the expertise of multiple fields, including mechanical design, hydraulic drive, and electrical control, perfectly embodying the power of industrialization in waste management.
