This depends on the planned location of the baler. Outdoors in a large loading area, installation and training can typically be completed within 2 hours.
Yes, whilst balers are easy to operate, personnel must have training to ensure health and safety protocol is met.
For a heavily used outdoor baler, we would expect a lifespan of 15 years. For an indoor baler or a low-use baler, it can last longer. Regular servicing typically extends the working life of a baler.
This depends on the size of the baler and how much waste material they produce. A mill size bale can be produced in about 45 minutes.
All our balers comply with British Standards EN16500, which includes fully monitored safety systems.
As with any equipment, balers require regular maintenance to ensure they are kept in good working order. We offer preventative maintenance packages with all our balers, which provide two annual maintenance inspections and services. We recommend 2 services per annum but for low use sites this can be dropped to one per annum.
Although they take up more space, they offer automatic loading reducing labour intensity. Material can be thrown into the hopper and automatically baled reducing the need for manual loading on traditional vertical balers.
Baler size depends on your waste volume and the types of materials you process. Our mini balers compact upwards of 50kg of material, whereas our Mill Size balers create bales of up to 500kg. Contact us today, and we can help you choose the right size based on your specific needs.
Balers are versatile and can process various recyclable materials. They are predominantly used for baling cardboard but can be used for other materials such as plastic film. The type of baler you need depends on the materials you handle most frequently.
A baler compresses recyclable materials like cardboard and plastics into dense, stackable bales, making them easier to store and transport. Bales are subsequently ejected from the machine allowing you to store multiple bales at your site. In contrast, a compactor compresses the volume of general waste or mixed recycling within a single container, making large volumes of waste more manageable.
We rent balers on 3-5 year rental terms. You can also purchase balers outright from Recorra.
