The AGP-220 is one of the larger baling presses from the Alert range. The AGP-220 is designed for Non-Ferrous and Light Gauge Ferrous material, specifically in longer lengths and when high volume production through put is important. With a bale being produced in approximatly 30 seconds production rates of 12 tonne/hour are not uncommon on light gauge steel.

The AGP-220 is a 3 stage baler which comprises a side loader (stage 1 ) that feeds the material into the chamber prior to the guillotining action from the lid ( stage 2 ) during this shearing a hold down arm ensures that material remains within the confines of the hopper (added safety). The lid also acts as a pre-compression stage, (stage 3) is the compression of the gathered material with 218 tonnes of force, creating a high density bale.
