The PTR 2300HD does not use a traditional gas or diesel engine; instead, it is powered by a heavy-duty electric motor that drives its hydraulic system. The baler is equipped with a 10-horsepower, three-phase industrial electric motor with voltage options of 208, 230, or 460 volts. This motor powers a hydraulic pump that generates working pressure of around 2,000 psi, with a relief setting near 2,300 psi, allowing the hydraulic cylinder to compress recyclable materials efficiently. The electric-hydraulic design provides consistent compaction force, reliable operation, and low maintenance, making the PTR 2300HD well suited for continuous industrial recycling applications.
