Badger | Two Ram Baler
The popular Harris Badger is a narrow-box two ram baler with a reputation for value and reliability as well as flexibility. It is a multi-purpose baler designed for producing high density bales with one of the highest baling forces in its class.
Materials Designed to Process
- Cardboard (OCC)
- Newspaper (ONP)
- Mixed Paper
- High Grade Paper
- Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
- UBCs
- Aluminum Cans
- Steel Cans

- Light-Med Gauge Nonferrous Metals
- White Goods
Designed for these Facilities

PRODUCT DETAILS:
Reliable Power
The Badger gnaws at materials with our reliable S-2 and S-4 power units designed with simplicity in mind.
Improved Structure Design
The Badger is designed with a solid uni-body construction – a solid one-piece body design. The uni-body construction design gives the Badger two ram baler added strength and rigidity to handle difficult materials in difficult applications. Additionally, Harris widened the stance of the Badger to minimize flexing during the baling cycle.
Easier Maintenance, Decreased Down Time
Adjustable Knives
The smart knife system Harris utilizes on all our two ram balers allows for less down time and since shims are not used we save you money two ways.
Wear Parts
Harris utilizes thicker wear liners throughout our two ram line giving our customers longer run time between scheduled maintenance and replacement. We use AR500 wear liners, exceeding our competition.
Total Precision Control All Within Arms Reach
The Badger, and all other Harris two ram balers feature total control user interface terminals which include a multi-function touch screen display with up to the second diagnostic and production information. Couple that with a custom production system built by Harris and you will have the most efficient and productive facility around.

* Cylinder Size is equal to the bore diameter.
* Tons of force (in extension) is equal to the system pressure multiplied by the area of the piston head.
* The Ram Face Pressure is equal to the pounds of force divided by the area of the ram face.
* The Cycle time is equal to the time it takes to extend and retract the gatherer under no load at full speed.
* TPH is equal to the maximum throughput of the machine using a particular material at it’s max density.
