The MP2000 compactor/baler is designed for industrial use in handling waste and recyclable materials, and to address storage, transportation and distribution of short fibre products specifically. With the ability to compact a variety of materials up to 3:1, these compactors create four-foot-high by four-foot-wide bales weighing up to 2,000 pounds. Wrapped bales can be stored outside, and keep materials viable for over 12 months, and units can be set up for permanent use with a stationary engine or electric motor and PTO drive. The MP2000 is computerized, fully automatic, and capable of processing 30 to 40 tons of material per hour, including shredded cardboard, shredded plastic, wood by-products, corn stover, silage and other animal feeds, as well as composted animal manures.
