This European Standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, manufacture and information for safe use of vertical baling presses for compacting waste material or recyclable fractions (e. g. paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard, mixed waste), hereafter referred to as materials.
This standard covers vertical baling presses:
— that are manually or mechanically fed; and
— with fixed enclosed baling chambers (single or multiple chamber presses); and
— with a mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically operated compacting equipment; and
— where the compacted bale is tied manually in the baling chamber; and
— with manual unloading or mechanical ejection of the compacted bale.
