The Smart Baler – Have a Smartphone? You’re already an Expert.

If you can use your smartphone, you’re already an expert at using our Smart Baler interface.

The soon to be launched PTR Smart Baler features innovative technology that will revolutionize your company’s waste and recycling systems. It was carefully designed to increase speed, accuracy and efficiency.

We knew that it was critical to make the interface user-friendly. The all-new ‘Smart Control Panel’ is a touchscreen that will feel immediately familiar to users. That’s because it’s set up very similarly to the screen of most smartphones. So, if you can use your smartphone, using this touchscreen will be a breeze.

The PTR Smart Baler also features keyless operation. Eliminating keys increases efficiency, because you’ll never find yourself searching for a lost or misplaced key again. Purchasing a new key is costly and results in unwanted downtime. Instead, you’ll input a PIN number to use the baler. Selected employees can be assigned their own, personal PIN number, as well. There is even an option for a fingerprint reader – just like your cell phone.

The weight readings provided are the most precise possible, and the data attained is the most accurate to date. You can use this highly accurate information to make better decisions- decisions that will ultimately save your organization valuable time and money.

We’ve barely scratched the surface of what The Smart Baler has to offer. The new features will increase safety, productivity and overall efficiency, while helping your company reach and exceed it’s sustainability goals. Ready to learn more? Contact PTR today.

A Family Legacy

Way back in 1907, Charles B. Leonard founded Philadelphia Tramrail Company, a manufacturer of monorails and meat track systems. Soon after, Robert Riethmiller was hired as a mechanic’s helper. Over the next two decades, Robert learned the ins and outs of running the business and in 1929, he purchased it. A few years later, his son, Robert J. Riethmiller Sr. joined the company, and years later his son, Robert J. Riethmiller Jr., came aboard, as well.

Fast forward to 1994, and the next generation furthered the family legacy, when Eric Riethmiller joined the ranks. Eric, along side now-CEO Mike Savage, helped rapidly grow and expand PTR Baler and Compactor Company to the international industry leader that it is today.

Since 1907, many things have changed. One thing, however, hasn’t- our dedication to creating the highest quality, safest waste equipment on the market. Just like we care about the safety of our own family, staff and technicians, we care about the safety of you and your employees.

We’ve been doing it longer than just about anyone, so we know how to do it right. A major aspect of the PTR difference is that we work with you before, during and after the sale to ensure our products are being used safely and optimally. We want to ensure you fully realize the benefits of utilizing our balers, compactors and other waste products. Our equipment is key to helping your company reach it’s sustainability goals, increase workplace productivity, efficiency and of course, safety.

PTR is now celebrating 50 years of baler manufacturing and over 100 years of American steel manufacturing. We’re proud to have a family legacy that has stood the test of time. Here’s to another 100 years!
