The pulp bale press is configured to compress a first pulp bale to be compressed between the base and the movable pressing element and to compress a second pulp bale to be compressed between the top and the movable pressing element. The movable pressing element is movably attached to the base via a first plurality of hydraulic cylinders comprising at least two hydraulic cylinders. The movable pressing element is movably attached to the top via a second plurality of hydraulic cylinders comprising an equal number of hydraulic cylinders as the first plurality of hydraulic cylinders.
