The press itself is unchanged from the 20.12 HP version — 500 kN, a 1,020 x 1,250 mm aperture, four wires and an 1,100 x 750 mm mill bale — but this is the drive HSM actually quotes performance figures for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VK 5012 is built for materials recovery work: big bags, HDPE and LDPE containers, plastic bottles, film, punch waste, mixed paper and cardboard, fed continuously from a belt or an air conveying system and baled without an operator at the machine. Bale length is set anywhere from 600 to 1,200 mm and finished bales weigh between 300 and 550 kg depending on material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically it is identical to its smaller-drive sibling: 8,990 mm long, 3,990 mm wide, 3,000 mm high, 17,500 kg.

Same press, same bale, same footprint, lower connected load and lower cost. HSM does not publish throughput figures for that variant, which is a reasonable signal that it is not the one intended for heavy duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsider the 30 kW or 45 kW VK 5012 if\u003c\/strong\u003e even this is not enough — HSM builds the same frame with both. The 30 kW version is published at 308 m³\/h and a 12 second cycle.

The 12018 makes an 1,100 x 1,100 mm bale up to 1,100 kg with five wires, at 1,200 kN.
