Make Your Life Easier
PAAL Intelligence
XL Channel
In the past, making bales with only plastic bottles was a challenge. Bale densities would decrease if the channel was filled with bottle-only bales, so operators would need to alternate the plastic with other materials like paper and cardboard to optimize truck loading.
Those days are over. With the XL channel developed by Kadant PAAL for 100% plastic applications, it is now possible to obtain the same performance with an XL channel filled with all-plastic as a standard channel with alternating materials.
For MRFs, the XL channel also eliminates the need for a perforator. This provides a meaningful improvement in baler capacity as well as maintenance cost savings.


SimpleX
The easiest way to tie the bale
SimpleX is the first 100% flexible automatic tying system. This innovation from Kadant PAAL allows the type of tying to be changed automatically.

- 5 wires Vertical tying

- 5 wires Horizontal tying

- 5 Vertical + adjustable nb of Horizontal wires
In its 5 vertical and 5 horizontal wires version, SimpleX allows for adaptive cross-tying. No more wasting of steel wire. Set the number of wires you want to apply to a type of material automatically and without operator intervention!
Saving operating cost
Time saving for your operators
Increased availability of your baler

MIXT Plastic Wire / Steel Wire
Whether you need to make bales that are compatible with incineration processes for SRF/RDF, or you prefer to use plastic wire instead of steel wire for safety or environmental reasons, we have a solution for what you need.
- With the basic version of our plastic tying unit, your baler can make bales with only plastic wire in horizontal, vertical or cross tie.
- With the premium version of our plastic tying unit, your bales can be tied alternatively with plastic wire or steel wire, also with horizontal, vertical, or cross tie. It only takes a few minutes to switch between wire types.


R-Smart Bailing
Remote SMART Baling is an automated bale management system. In conjunction with the sorting center, the baler automatically adjusts the settings to compact the material to be baled. There is no longer any need for an operator dedicated to material selection and baling management. This allows the forklift operator to concentrate on bale storage or dispatch while the baling press compacts the material into consistently uniform bales.

- Uniform bale size. No more small or large bales at the end of the series.
- Time-saving for operators
- Less time lost between each different material baled
Saves operator time
Increased baler availability
Optimizes storage capacity and truck loads
AI-Smart Bailing
AI SMART Baling is an automated bale management system based on video analysis of the material.
The artificial intelligence algorithm recognises the type of material being fed from the conveyor to the baler. The baler can then adjust its settings to compact the material. The operator no longer needs to get off the machine to change the recipe or to tie the last bale. Everything is managed automatically by the AI.

- The different materials are all baled with the right recipe. No need for operator actions anymore.
- Safety improvement for your operators (non needs to up and down the forklift)
- Less time lost between each different material baled

SMART Feeding
SMART Feeding is a system for detecting the fill level of the baler loading conveyor.
This innovation from Kadant PAAL prevents creating of material jams at the conveyor outfeed, where large sheets of material or excessive loads could get stuck on the way down to the baler.

- When a jam is foreseeable, the loading of the hopper is regulated to avoid overfilling
- The operator is notified of the automatic load regulation. He can thus correct the quantity of material he is loading on the conveyor by himself
- When the quantity of material is too much for the jam to be avoided, the conveyor is instantly stopped and the operator notified. He can then unblock the material and avoid excessive accumulation of material in the hopper
