New: A Willems baler without hydraulics

April 2023,

Willems has developed a baler that can press and pack bales with electric motors instead of hydraulic. This baler has been developed for products that require less baling and pressing force, such as hay.

The baler is equipped with Motion control. Motion control is controlling a movement via a certain movement profile, whereby mechanical influences (friction, temperature, load, etc.) are adjusted in such a way that the same movement repeats itself over and over again.

Advantages of presses with electric motors are:

• The press consumes relatively little energy
• No periodic oil change required
• Machine is low in decibels
• Maintenance costs are low.

In summary, this is an energy-efficient and practical way to compress and package products with a low pressing force.
