Valvan Baling Systems nv is a typical example of a company that has transformed itself from its roots in the old, traditional industry into a company that competes on a worldwide level, thanks to constant innovation and by responding to new market needs.

Valvan Baling Systems nv is a modern engineering company specialized in the design and the construction of hydraulic baling presses and peripheral equipment, such as pneumatic transport, conveyors, automatic warehousing of the bales.

VALVAN Baling Systems is an engineering company that specializes in the design and the construction of hydraulic baling presses and accessories.Our biggest target sector is the textile and recycling industry.

We build a large array of baling presses that can suit any industry in which baling of voluminues materials is needed.

For the recyclingindustry such as paper, cardboard, plastics, MRF, Foam, NON-Wovens, trimwaste, production waste... we build heavy duty horizontal continues balers and horizontal closed-end balers.

Our product range of fiber baling presses is most suitable for processing natural and synthetic fibers, such as polyester and polypropylene staple fiber,acetate tow, cotton, wool, flax, hemp …Furthermore To contribute to the profitability of your company, we design all kinds of peripheral equipment: pneumatic fiber transport, fiber and bale weighing systems, automatic wrapping and strapping systems, bale removal systems,automatic warehousing…Our goal has always been to offer the best solution, which is the result of careful analysis of the customers needs and requirements.

We are open to all new applications with future prospects.

To achieve superior quality we emphasize on performance, reliability and safety.For every application we provide a suitable control-system. This goes from simple relay-technology to PLC- and PC-controlled networks, with optional remote control.Our dynamic team guarantees a high level technical support and a correct servicefor which Valvan is appreciated by its customers.Hydraulic baling presses are an essential part of the fiber line. Downtime must be restricted to an absolute minimum.

The purchase of a VALVAN press ensures yearsof maximum productivity and reliability. For each component, the best possible solution is sought out without compromise. A reliable hydraulic press possesses anumber of very important elements,starting with a machined solid frame, high quality hydraulic cylinders and powerpack and a flexible electrical command unit. Throughout the entire VALVAN range, the same continuously improved components and techniques are used.

Thanks to many years of experience and continues optimization we can offer  no-nonsense,  robust and  reliable machines that will serve all your baling needs in the best way possible.
 
Every part of our baling presses is designed and produced  in our own workshops, inclusive hydraulic power pack, hydraulic cylinders and electrical cabinets. This direct approach towards spare-parts, together with our dedicated after-sales department and central location (Menen, Belgium) allows us to offer fast, reliable and excellent after sales service worldwide.
 
Our baling presses are equipped with the newest line of automation possibilities which also allows our machines to be integrated in any fully- automated treatment facility and makes remote support possible in an easy way.

In 1968, during the period that the West-Flanders still had a flowering flax growing, Valvan started the production of flax drying installations. Thanks to these installations, the flax factories were less dependent from the weather.

Due to the tripling of the oil prices in 1973, the flax dryers were no longer profitable and Valvan had to start its search for a new product. The first oil crisis implied the beginning of environmental consciousness and Valvan started the production of waste containers for the recycling industry. It was a good functioning workshop with 10 to 12 people. Through the engineer’s mentality, Valvan started the construction of waste compactors and baling presses for textile waste and experienced a strong growth.

In the 90’s, the two divisions of the company grew apart. The mass production of waste containers and the production of presses, which required for each order a custom made concept and therefore a separate project, were finally housed in two separate companies in 1997 : Valvan Containers & Milieutechniek and Valvan Baling Systems. In that same year, the new company buildings in the Krommebeekstraat were inaugurated.

In 2000, Valvan Baling Systems and LVD fiber baling join forces. The engineering teams are united in Menen and bring their know-how together to aim at their main objective, which is the further improvement of existing fiber baling presses and the development of reliable full-automatic wrapping systems.

In 2002, a local competitor, Piferoen Engineering, went bankrupt and Valvan Baling Systems took over the service and sales of their machinery. An extremely modern production module offers Valvan Baling Systems the possibility to produce heavier and bigger machines. Through the continuous growth of the company, it was necessary to build new offices in 2004. In 2007 the workshop was again expanded.

In 2005, Valvan Baling Systems acquired the Bump Press business from St-Eloi (since 1908), France. The complete product range is produced, and full service is given on the ± 2000 machines still working all over the world.
