Operating Details All double box balers have both pre-press and final press chambers. Fiber feeds to the first pre-press box where it is compressed with a 4 in cylinder at 1200 psi. Retaining dogs hold fiber in place while the box rotates 180 degrees to make the finished bale using a 15 in hydraulic cylinder.
