MRF Balers & Turnkey Recycling Systems
Material recovery facilities run on throughput. A baler that goes down during peak hours doesn't just cost you time - it backs up your entire sort line. HMS keeps MRFs running with complete turnkey recycling systems, from initial system design through installation, commissioning, and long-term service support.
HMS supplies and services the full range of MRF equipment for material recovery facilities, single-stream recycling operations, and mixed-material processing facilities across North America. We help you find the right equipment for your throughput targets, material mix, and facility layout - and back it with in-house service and parts support.

MRF Equipment We Supply & Service
HMS supplies and services the full range of MRF equipment - configured specifically for your material mix, throughput targets, and facility layout. Every system we design is backed by our in-house service team for long-term reliability.
Two Ram Balers
The workhorse of high-throughput MRFs. Two ram balers handle the full range of recovered materials - OCC, mixed paper, plastics, and metals - with maximum bale density and continuous operation designed for demanding MRF production schedules.
View Two Ram Balers →Horizontal Auto-Tie Balers
For single-stream and fiber-heavy MRF lines. Horizontal auto-tie balers deliver high throughput with automated wire-tying - ideal for facilities processing large volumes of OCC, mixed paper, and cardboard with minimal manual intervention.
View Auto-Tie Balers →Conveyors & Sort Systems
Integrated conveyor and sort system design from infeed to baler - including tipping floors, pre-sort lines, disc screens, and outbound conveyors. HMS configures systems for your material flow and throughput targets.
View Conveyors →Shredders
Industrial shredders for size reduction of mixed materials, film, and difficult-to-process streams ahead of sorting or baling. Single-shaft and dual-shaft configurations for MRF pre-processing applications.
View Shredders →Horizontal Manual-Tie Balers
A reliable and cost-effective baling option for smaller MRFs and transfer stations. Flexible performance across diverse material types with lower capital investment than a fully automated system.
View Manual-Tie Balers →Refurbished Equipment
Quality reconditioned MRF balers and conveyors rebuilt by HMS technicians - inspected, upgraded, and field-ready. A strong option for expanding capacity or replacing aging equipment on a tighter capital budget.

Common Questions
MRF Equipment & Service FAQs
It depends on your daily throughput volume, material mix, and facility layout. For high-volume MRFs processing diverse materials including OCC, mixed paper, plastics, and metals, a two ram baler is typically the most efficient and cost-effective solution. For fiber-focused or single-stream operations, a horizontal auto-tie baler is often the right choice. HMS conducts system assessments to specify the right baler for your operation - no guesswork.
Yes. HMS handles complete turnkey MRF installations - from system design and equipment sourcing through installation, controls integration, and startup commissioning. We manage every phase in-house so there's one point of contact and full accountability from concept to commissioning. We work on both new greenfield MRF builds and retrofits on existing facilities.
Yes. HMS technicians service all major MRF equipment brands regardless of where they were purchased - including 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.
For emergency service, call us directly at (219) 733-2108. Our team prioritizes emergency dispatch to minimize MRF downtime - a baler failure during peak hours can back up an entire sort line, so we treat MRF emergencies with urgency. Response time depends on location and technician availability.
Yes. HMS offers scheduled PM programs customized to your MRF's equipment and production schedule - typically including inspection, lubrication, hydraulic fluid analysis, wear measurement on baler liners and components, and proactive parts replacement. PM programs significantly reduce unplanned downtime and extend equipment life on high-throughput MRF systems.
Yes. HMS works with lenders to offer flexible financing for qualified buyers on new and reconditioned MRF equipment - including $0 down options with approvals in as little as 24 hours.
