subject: Cardboard Balers - Best Recycling Equipment - Compactor [print this page] Large amounts of Cardboard and Plastic waste are found in all areas of industry. All organizations have a duty to dispose of their waste in the most environmentally friendly way. There have been lots of changes relating to the subject of waste in recent years. Key changes have occurred because of new Legislation, not only in UK, but also Europe and the whole world. Everyone is trying to help the planet and the environment and the consequence of this can be pleasing.
The most notable Legislation gives the liability of all organizations to take action to Sort, Segregate, Reuse and Recycle more. Each business must demonstrate that they are doing this effectively. All businesses producing waste must Sort their waste. In other words, removing items which can be used again. These reusable items must be segregated or separated and removed from general waste, which would otherwise be sent to landfill. The recyclable waste must be stored in some way and ultimately transported to a place where it can be returned to a recyclable state.
In the past, bins and other containers of various sizes have been the most common way of removing waste. Historically, all rubbish was collected in one big container or bin. It would all be crushed and transported to landfill. Nowadays, there is a residual value of reusable materials, such as cardboard, plastics, paper, polypropylene, metals and many more. So they can be removed from a businesses general waste stream and sorted for recycling.This means that less general waste is going to landfill.
The earliest way of collecting these recyclable wastes was to give them each different containers. For example, a bin specifically identified for Cardboard. It would have a sign saying, "Cardboard Only". This is not the greenest way to recycle cardboard or any other material. Transporting loose cardboard or plastic in this state means there must be many collection vehicles constantly on the road. These thousands of lorries transporting cardboard and plastics, produced much pollution and were required much more frequently than the preferred solution.
As a result of the changing world and technology, there has been the arrival of the waste Baler. This Recycling Machinery initially started typically as a Vertical Waste baler. The Vertical Waste compactor is basically a steel container, with a top door and a bottom door. The top door is for loading the Cardboard, Plastic or other waste material into the Waste compactor. The bottom door is for removing the finished bale. There is a Pressing-Plate which is forced down onto the rubbish. This really compacts the waste and a lot of waste can be forced into a bale under immense pressure. The smaller Recycling Balers / Compactors may use a pressing-force of 2 to 5 tons.
The result of compacting the reusable rubbish material in a Waste baler has created many benefits. Because the waste is very compact, in a tied stackable form or shape, it can be stored. The need for transportation will be greatly reduced. So there will be much less pollution on the roads. The rubbish is being recycled efficiently, so less rubbish will go to landfill. Company's will pay less landfill-tax. The removal of bales is usually free of charge and sometimes a corporation can even gain some income. The cost of having a rubbish Compactor is usually much cheaper than having bins emptied. Please call Strong Recycling Balers Ltd on Freephone 0800 5677 384 Anytime for help & advice.
Companies producing larger volumes of recyclable waste have found it beneficial to use larger Recycling Machinery or Equipment, commonly known as a Mill Size Baler. This Waste baler Equipment is much larger and stronger. The pressing-force can be up to 50 Tonnes in the case of a good Mill Size Baler. The main use of a Mill Size Waste baler is for Recycling Cardboard. This waste Baler will typically produce Cardboard Bales in the region of 500Kg.
Collectors of waste will know that Mill Size Bales are worth approximately 20% more than smaller bales. This is because the smaller bales have to be re-baled in a Mill Size Baler, before transportation to recycling plants further away. If a firm produces bales in a Mill Size Baler, he can usually have them collected free and should also receive a recompense for large tonnage amounts.
Deciding on the correct Baler Equipment for your organization, should be left to the people in the know. It's best to take advice from people who really know their machinery.

You often imagine you need a larger compactor and sometimes a smaller cheaper waste baler will be quite adequate.
