Join us as we delve into the world of plastic balers and discover how Gradeall can revolutionise your waste management process.
Plastic baler machines offer several benefits for businesses and organisations involved in plastic waste management. Here are some key advantages of using a baler machine on site:
Plastic balers compress plastic waste into dense and compact bales, significantly reducing the volume of the material. This results in efficient space utilisation, as the baled plastic takes up much less room than loose or unprocessed plastic waste. It allows businesses to optimise their storage space, making room for other essential operations.
By compacting plastic waste with a baler, businesses can save on waste disposal costs. Baled plastic takes up less space, reducing the frequency of waste collections and decreasing transportation and hauling expenses.
Plastic baler machines also promote eco-friendly practices by facilitating the recycling of plastic waste. Compacted plastic bales are easier to handle, transport, and store, making it more convenient to send them to recycling facilities.
By diverting plastic waste from landfills and encouraging primary recycling, balers contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint associated with plastic disposal.
Plastic baler machines streamline the waste management process, saving time and labour. The machines automate the compression and baling process, requiring minimal intervention. This allows employees to focus on other productive tasks, enhancing operational efficiency within the organisation.
Handling loose plastic waste can pose safety risks, as it may be sharp or contain hazardous materials. Plastic balers provide a safer waste management solution by compacting and binding the plastic waste into secure bales. This reduces the risk of injuries and promotes a cleaner and safer work environment.
When considering a plastic baler machine, it’s important to evaluate your specific requirements, such as the volume and types of plastic waste generated, available space, and budget.
By investing in a high-quality baler machine, businesses can enjoy the benefits of efficient waste management, cost savings, environmental sustainability, and improved operational efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider.
Assess the volume of plastic waste that your facility generates. Plastic balers come in various sizes and capacities, so it’s important that you select one that can keep pace with your waste production.
You also need to evaluate the type of waste plastic that you need to process. Rigid plastics for example are much harder to compress and require more force, soft plastics on the other hand are more pliable and easier to compress. Ensure you select a baler that can handle your specific needs.
Measure the available space in your facility to ensure the baler fits comfortably. Consider access to loading docks or areas where the baler will be installed. Some balers require additional space for feeding and ejecting the plastic waste. Ensure that you have a clear understanding of the installation requirements, including electrical and safety considerations.
Look for balers with safety features installed to protect operators and prevent accidents. These may include emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, safety cages, and warning systems. At Gradeall, all of our machinery prioritises the safety of your employees.
There are different types of plastic balers available, including vertical balers, horizontal balers, and two-ram balers. Vertical balers are suitable for smaller volumes of plastic waste, while horizontal balers are designed for higher capacities and industrial applications.
The cost of a baler will vary depending on the machine specifications, operational extras and delivery site location. For an accurate price that’s based on your waste management requirements, be sure to get in touch with a member of the Gradeall team.
