Carbon 72-VBCardboard Baler

Yes. Every Carbon Compactors baler ships from a CE-certified factory and meets ANSI Z245.5 and OSHA 1910.218 requirements. Safety package is standard — no upgrades, no add-ons:

• Interlocked loading gate — ram cuts out the instant the gate opens mid-cycle.
• Mushroom-head emergency stop on the control panel halts all hydraulic motion in one press.
• Anti-rebound gate — mechanical catch holds compressed material if hydraulic pressure drops.
• Omron G9SE-201 safety relay — fail-safe shutoff that runs independently of the main PLC. If the controller faults, the safety circuit still trips the machine.
• Omron CP2E PLC manages every cycle for predictable, repeatable operation.
• Two-hand bale ejection — both hands must be on the controls during eject.
• Hydraulic overload protection — pressure relief valve prevents over-force damage to the machine and operator.

Here are the exact dimensions for the Carbon 72-VB:

• Height: 10 ft 5 in (needs a 11 ft ceiling minimum)
• Width: 7 ft 5 in
• Depth: 4 ft 5 in
• Floor space: 33 sq ft

You'll need a level concrete floor (3,000 PSI or stronger) and clear access from your back door to the install spot. Not sure? Send us a photo of your space and we'll confirm fit.

The Carbon 24-VB and Carbon 24-VBHD plug into a regular 120V outlet. All bigger balers need 3-phase power, which most warehouses and stores already have. If you don't have it, an electrician can wire it in 1 to 2 hours. Most pay $500 to $2,000.

About 30 minutes. Anyone on your team can run it after a short walkthrough — no special license required. Every baler ships with an operator manual and a safety briefing checklist; we recommend a 15-minute review with each new operator before first use.

The only thing you buy yourself is AW-46 hydraulic oil. About $50 to $80 at Home Depot, Tractor Supply, or any auto parts store. The amount depends on your baler size (5 to 15 gallons).

Most balers go from order to your dock in 6 to 8 weeks. We build in batches and keep some in stock. If you need it faster, call us and we'll see if we have one ready early in the color you want.

You do, and it takes about 2 hours. Roll the baler onto a level concrete floor with a forklift or pallet jack. Anchor it to the slab with four 3/4" anchor bolts — your concrete needs to be 3,000 psi or stronger (most warehouse, retail, and dock-area slabs already are). Fill the hydraulic tank with AW-46 hydraulic oil — Home Depot, Tractor Supply, or any auto parts store carries it. We send a step-by-step guide and walk you through it on a call.

Everything that breaks from normal use. The frame, the hydraulics, the electrical. Parts ship from our US inventory. No paid upgrade. The only things not covered are damage from misuse or changes you make to the machine.
