Paper & Tissue Mill Balers & Trim Systems
Paper and tissue mills run around the clock - and so does the waste they generate. Edge trim comes off the machine continuously, while broke, reject rolls, and converting scrap pile up fast. A baler that can't keep pace with your trim system becomes a bottleneck on an otherwise continuous line. HMS designs trim-handling and baling systems that keep fiber moving - from the trim chute to a finished, mill-ready bale.
HMS supplies and services the full range of baling, shredding, and conveying equipment for paper mills, tissue mills, and converting operations across North America. We help you recover fiber value from broke, edge trim, reject rolls, and converting waste - and back every system with in-house service and parts support.

We Serve
HMS works with paper and tissue producers of every size - each with its own trim volumes, fiber grades, and floor constraints.
Equipment for Paper & Tissue Mills
Balers & Trim Systems
for Your Mill
HMS supplies and services baling, shredding, and trim-handling equipment configured for the continuous waste streams of paper and tissue production - sized to your machine speeds, trim volumes, and fiber grades.
Horizontal Auto-Tie Balers
The backbone of continuous trim handling. Auto-tie balers integrate directly with trim chutes and pneumatic collection systems to bale edge trim and converting waste continuously - automated wire-tying for high-volume fiber with minimal labor.
View Auto-Tie Balers →Two Ram Balers
For broke, reject rolls, and mixed mill waste. Two ram balers deliver maximum density on dense, variable, and wet-strength material - turning hard-to-handle reject into tight, transport-ready bales that maximize fiber value per load.
View Two Ram Balers →Conveyors & Trim Systems
Integrated trim and broke conveying from machine to baler - trim chutes, pneumatic collection, cyclones, and broke conveyors. HMS configures the full material path so trim and reject feed your baler reliably without choking the line.
View Conveyors →Shredders
Size reduction for reject rolls, wet-strength reject, cores, and off-spec product. Single-shaft and dual-shaft shredders break down full rolls and difficult-to-process material ahead of baling, repulping, or disposal.
View Shredders →Roll Splitters
Cut oversized parent rolls and reject rolls down to size so they can be baled and recycled. Roll splitters break down full rolls that are too large to feed a baler directly - recovering fiber value from material that would otherwise head to landfill.
View Roll Splitters →Refurbished Equipment
Quality reconditioned balers and conveyors rebuilt by HMS technicians - inspected, upgraded, and field-ready. A strong option for expanding trim capacity or replacing aging equipment on a tighter capital budget.

The HMS Advantage
for Paper & Tissue Mills
At HMS, we're built around one principle - accountability from start to finish. We design the system, source the equipment, manage installation, and keep it running after the sale, all in-house and all under one roof.
Trim-System Integration
HMS designs baling systems that integrate directly with your trim system - connecting trim chutes, pneumatic collection, and broke conveyors to the baler infeed so waste handling runs automatically without disrupting output.
Turnkey Installation
System design, equipment sourcing, installation, and controls integration - all handled in-house. No third-party contractors, no gaps in accountability from first consultation to startup.
Ongoing Service & Parts
Our technicians provide preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, baler relines, hydraulic and electrical service, and parts support - keeping trim moving and your machines running.
North America Coverage
Serving paper mills, tissue mills, and converters across North America since 2004. One call, one partner - from system design to long-term service.

Equipment FAQs
It depends on the stream. For continuous edge trim coming off the machine, a horizontal auto-tie baler integrated with your trim chute or pneumatic system keeps pace with production without manual handling. For broke, reject rolls, and dense or wet-strength material, a two ram baler delivers the density you need to maximize fiber value per load. Many mills run both. HMS conducts a system assessment to spec the right configuration - no guesswork.
Yes. HMS designs line-integrated baling systems that feed directly from trim chutes, pneumatic conveying, and cyclone separators. We configure the full path from the machine to a finished bale so trim moves continuously without choking the line or backing up production - on both new installations and retrofits onto existing trim infrastructure.
Reject rolls and wet-strength material are among the hardest streams to process. For full or partial reject rolls, a roll splitter cuts them down to a size your baler can handle, with a shredder providing further size reduction where needed - ahead of baling, repulping, or disposal. Wet-strength reject that won't repulp easily can be baled on a two ram for tight, transport-ready loads. HMS specs the right combination of roll splitting, shredding, and baling based on your volumes and what happens to the material downstream.
Yes. HMS technicians service all major baler and conveyor brands regardless of where they were purchased - including Balemaster, Harris, Maren, American Baler, IPS, Marathon, and others. We provide PM programs, emergency repairs, baler relines, hydraulic and electrical service, and PLC support. Call (219) 733-2108 for service inquiries.
