What are Balers?
Balers are machines designed to compress and bundle materials such as paper, cardboard, and plastics into compact bales for easier handling, storage, and transportation. They come in various types, including vertical, horizontal, semi-automatic, and automatic, each suited to different volumes and operational needs. Balers are widely used in recycling and waste management to streamline processes, reduce waste volume, and enhance efficiency in both small businesses and large industrial settings.
Balers offer significant advantages by compressing and bundling waste materials into compact bales, which enhances space efficiency, simplifies handling, and reduces transportation and disposal costs. They improve recycling processes by making materials easier to sort and manage, contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing landfill use, and increase operational efficiency through automation and reduced manual labour.
Case Study
LSM Waste Baler replaces recycling bins for a busy UK wholesaler with positive results
A large food wholesaler in Shrewsbury, UK, was facing increased waste output due to business growth. They initially used wheelie recycling bins, but as their waste grew, they ordered more bins, which began to clutter their facility and create safety issues. Seeking a long-term solution, they turned to LSM for a waste baler, a new tool for them. They needed a solution to manage rising waste volumes efficiently and were aware they would also need staff training on the new equipment.
The customer was filling 8-10 1,100-liter bins weekly with cardboard, which was becoming unsustainable. They contacted LSM UK for a solution and, after assessing their needs, LSM recommended the V8 waste baler. This versatile mid-size baler, with a footprint of a standard euro pallet, efficiently processes materials like cardboard, plastic, textile, and paper. It features a short 30-second cycle time and low voltage controls, making it ideal for food producers and safer for staff.
After the V8 Baler was installed on site, all staff operators were trained in how to utilise the machine. The company now had a more suitable longer-term sustainable strategy in place to deal with its waste output and they were able to remove all the bins from the site which were taking up lots of floor space which help alleviate health and safety issues on site for staff. Staff morale and process was improved as a result and the company no longer needed the extra recycling bins.
Baler Machines: FAQs
Balers come in several types, including vertical, horizontal, and automatic models. Vertical balers are ideal for smaller volumes and can be placed in tight spaces, while horizontal balers handle larger volumes and are suited for high-capacity operations. Automatic balers streamline the process further, reducing manual labour. The best choice depends on factors such as the type of material you need to process, the volume of waste, and available space.
