Easy-move wool press

Written by 

PASSAGE THROUGH woolshed standard doorways is no problem for ICS Manufacturing’s Dominator wool press, says company director Ian Cowan, displaying it at National Fieldays.

Mounted on a three-wheel trolley, the press can be shifted on the wool floor, and through standard doorways, without dismantling, ideal for baling various piles of wool. 

Lowering the towing handle activates the built-in weigh scales so all bales can be packed to a uniform legal weight.

The Dominator has automatic corner pinning which does not pierce the wool pack, averting the risk of contaminating the wool. It has front and rear loading and two sides open for easy bale removal with no need for mechanical ejection.

Says Cowan,“The Dominator is without doubt the best wool press on the market and is built to make hard work easier. With all the noise associated with shearing and shearing sheds the Dominator is whisper quiet in its operation.”

He says the three stage hydraulic pump can exert a pressure of 13.5t, the most powerful in New Zealand.

“The press has a fully integrated safety system which ensures all doors are closed before operating and the selected loading door opens automatically at the end of each cycle.”

The Dominator comes in two models with single phase power; the 4hp and the 5hp which is a reinforced commercial model for average sheds.

There are two models with three phase power both with 5.5hp motors. One is a reinforced commercial type for larger sheds and commercial situations  

Prices from $17,600.00+GST to $19,200+GST for the largest.
