Futureproofing baling capacity with an unoTech® UPAMAT-H 100H4 install
When CSH Environmental faced the familiar “repair vs upgrade” decision on an ageing baler, they needed a solution that would reduce risk, increase capacity, and support long-term operational demands. After reviewing available options and visiting the unoTech® factory in Germany with OKAY Engineering, the choice became clear: the unoTech® UPAMAT-H 100H4 100-tonne horizontal tying baler.
Supplied as a full installation by Amber Bale & Compact Ltd, the new system has delivered measurable improvements in throughput, reliability, safety, and space efficiency — and the results have been strong enough that CSH Environmental has already placed a follow-up order for an even larger unoTech® baler.
The challenge
One of CSH Environmental’s balers was becoming heavily worn, putting long-term reliability at risk. The business therefore faced a choice between investing in major repairs or upgrading to a new machine.
The decision process
To ensure they selected the right long-term solution, CSH Environmental undertook a detailed review of available options within the UK market. This included assessing performance, build quality, ongoing support, and overall value.
The solution
The unoTech® UPAMAT-H 100H4 delivered a step-change in performance, providing heavy-duty reliability with throughput of up to 23 tonnes per hour. Its robust construction and compatibility with steel and plastic wire support long-term, flexible operation.
Installation and system design
The full system was supplied and installed by Amber Bale & Compact Ltd, with careful consideration given to site constraints where space was limited. To support fast loading and efficient material flow, the installation included a heavy-duty feed conveyor.
Results
Since installation, the UPAMAT-H 100H4 has delivered clear operational improvements for CSH Environmental. The 1100 x 750 bale cross-section consistently produces bale weights of around 700kg on cardboard, improving transport efficiency and handling.
Conclusion
By choosing the unoTech® UPAMAT-H 100H4, CSH Environmental has successfully moved beyond the limitations of an ageing baler and invested in a solution that delivers measurable operational value. Increased capacity, improved safety, reduced downtime, and future-ready performance have all contributed to a highly successful upgrade.
