Cardboard Baler Selection Guide: How to Choose the Right Recycling Equipment
A cardboard baler is the essential equipment for efficient cardboard and corrugated box recycling operations. By implementing cardboard separation and baling processes, businesses can achieve significant cost reductions in waste hauling and disposal fees with the added benefit of generating cash and is good for the environment. While sometimes mistakenly called a compactor, a baler features specialized mechanisms that compress recyclable materials into uniform rectangular bales secured with wire ties. To select the optimal cardboard recycling baler, first determine your facility's daily cardboard volume generated. Volume could be from several boxes a day to larger producers typically measuring in tons (2000 lbs). For maximum recycling revenue and market value, aim for mill-size bales measuring approximately 60"x30"x42" that weigh 800-1100 lbs. or more. Smaller cardboard balers are available for operations with space constraints, lower cardboard volumes, or baling other materials.
