REB4: Sierra's new two-ram "recycle everything" baler handles a wide variety of scrap plastics, including drums, bins, bottles and film, as well as metal and paper products.

What's new? The baler, which made its debut this spring, and its patent pending dual compression doors. Each door exerts 55 tons of force to push the material into the chargingchamber. The doors eliminate pinch points and allow for greater downward compression force on the material without jamming the lid. The new door design keeps the baler balanced without putting excessive force on the frame.

Benefits: Production increases as great as 70 percent for plastics and up to 40 percent for other materials. Because the REB4 compresses more material per charge, it takes fewer charges and less time to make each bale. Also, the baler is designed to produce uniform, stackable bales.
