About Reliable
Herman Single founded Reliable Rubber & Plastic Machinery in 1935 in North Bergen, New Jersey. The business, also known historically as Reliable Welding and Machine Works, designs, builds, and rebuilds machinery for rubber and plastics plants and laboratories.
Reliable is a third-generation family company. Its plant on Union Turnpike includes machine-shop, engineering, and crane capacity, and the firm both manufactures new equipment and rebuilds mills, mixers, calenders, and cutters to order.
Bale cutters are a core product. Reliable builds guillotine-style cutters from laboratory sizes up past 60 inches of blade width, with hydraulic or pneumatic power, roller tables, and dual-palm safety controls. Replacement blades and bed pads are standard service items.
Used buyers should match the stated blade width to the bales they cut, and confirm the hydraulic power unit, guarding, and palm buttons are present. Many cutters were built to a customer's spec, so a model number may be only the blade width.
Meadoworks lists Reliable cutters and mills from working rubber plants, with the size and included safety equipment taken from the seller's photos and notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Reliable Rubber & Plastic Machinery located?
The company is in North Bergen, New Jersey, at 2008-14 Union Turnpike, and has built and rebuilt rubber and plastics machinery since 1935.
What size is a Reliable bale cutter?
The inch rating is the blade or cut width. Reliable has built cutters from bench-top lab units to production guillotines wider than 60 inches. Confirm the width against the bales you run.
Are parts available for older Reliable cutters?
Reliable still manufactures bale cutters and lists blades, bed pads, and hydraulic components as service items. Off-the-shelf hydraulic parts are commonly used on these machines.
What safety equipment should a used bale cutter have?
Look for feed and discharge guards, an emergency stop, and dual palm buttons. Photos of the control station and the yellow guarding are the practical check.
