Lathorse – Baler Installed in latvia

10 Feb 2015

The installation of the new shavings baler system by Ken Mills at Lathorse signifies a significant advancement in the processing and packaging of agricultural products. The system’s high-efficiency dust extraction system, known as the Delivery Drum, is particularly noteworthy for its ability to remove over 95% of dust and mold spores from a variety of materials, including wood shavings, hay, and textile fibers. This feature not only improves the quality of the final product but also contributes to a healthier work environment by reducing airborne contaminants.

The integration of an automatic feed into a bulking hopper with an inclined feed conveyor leading to a weigh conveyor exemplifies the system’s automation capabilities. The weigh conveyor’s precision in automatically weighing materials and controlling the speed of the infeed conveyor based on specific set points is crucial for ensuring consistent bale weight, which is a key quality control measure in the packaging industry.

Achieving the desired bale weight triggers the feeding of material into a four-ram bagging press, which compacts the product directly into plastic bags. This process is highly efficient, producing over 100 packs per hour of clean, dust-free shavings, each weighing 20 kg. Such productivity is essential for meeting the demands of large-scale operations and ensuring timely delivery to the market.

The bespoke design and manufacturing of the system by the in-house team at Ken Mills Engineering to meet Lathorse specific requirements demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing tailored solutions to its clients. The flexibility of the system to process various materials like hay, haylage, and straw further adds to its versatility, making it a valuable asset for businesses dealing with different agricultural products.
