SAMSON Twin Ram Balers Deliver High Bale Weight and Energy Efficiency at St Helens Facility
REP-TEC is pleased to announce that the installation of two new SAMSON Twin Ram balers at a recycling facility in St Helens is now entering its final stages.
The latest installation has been designed around high bale weights, operational efficiency, and reduced energy consumption, helping the site improve overall operating costs.
Designed for Bale Weight and Throughput
The two REP-TEC SAMSON twin ram balers have been configured specifically for commodity applications, with a strong focus on producing dense, consistent bales across a range of recyclable materials.
Higher bale weights deliver a direct commercial benefit to operators by improving transport efficiency and increasing payload value per load. REP-TEC continues to see class-leading bale weights from its SAMSON range, helping customers maximise outbound logistics efficiency while maintaining reliable throughput performance.
Colm Grimes, Managing Director at REP-TEC, commented:
“For many recycling operators, bale weight has a major impact on overall profitability. Producing heavier, more consistent bales means fewer transport movements, improved container utilisation, and ultimately increased revenue per load.
Combined with our ECO-DRIVE technology, we are able to deliver that performance while significantly reducing power consumption.”
Lower Energy Consumption with ECO-DRIVE
Both balers are equipped with REP-TEC’s ECO-DRIVE control system, which is designed to reduce unnecessary energy consumption by matching hydraulic power demand to the operating requirements of the machine.
The system uses inverter-driven motors and proportional hydraulic control to optimise oil flow and pressure throughout the baling cycle, reducing electricity usage without compromising bale density or throughput.
For recycling facilities facing increasing energy costs, reducing cost-to-bale and overall site power demand is becoming an increasingly important operational focus.
Supporting More Efficient Recycling Operations
The installation forms part of REP-TEC’s continued investment in energy-efficient recycling equipment designed to improve operational performance while supporting sustainability targets across the waste and recycling sector.
The St Helens project is expected to be fully operational in the coming weeks.
