MAC 111AS/1 operating in Canada, Cascades
Mixed paper, cardboard and magazine bales are not always easy to feed into a recycling line, especially when the material arrives already compacted or irregularly packed.
At Cascades in Canada, the MAC 111AS/1 works with a fluffer system that helps loosen compacted paper before baling, supporting a more continuous feed into the press.
This machine is part of a long-standing collaboration between Cascades and Macpresse, with more than 14 Macpresse presses installed and several machines still operating after more than 20 years.
The MAC 111AS/1 is designed with a 2,100 x 1,020 mm feed opening, 170 ton cutting and thrust power, and 1,100 x 1,100 mm bale dimensions.
It reaches up to 45 ton/h on mixed paper and 28 ton/h on cardboard, depending on moisture content, pre-bale density, feed rate and other operating variables.
Performance rates, bale weights and bale densities depend on moisture content, pre-bale density, feed rate and other operating variables.
