Piled higher - It’s 6.20 metres high, weighs 40 tonnes and has a pressing power of 1,200 kilonewton (kN): the fully automated VK 12018 R channel baling press from HSM in Frickingen for pressing paper, cardboard and cardboard boxes has been in use by the disposal company SITA in Hochheim for around three months. There are fewer bales thanks to the enormous pressing pressure and the large bale format. This allows SITA to utilise the warehouse in the best way possible, speed up logistics processes and reduce energy consumption at the same time.
