Frequently Asked Questions

How does a cardboard baler machine work?

Cardboard balers are very easy to operate. Cardboard waste is loaded into the chamber, and once it is full, the machine is activated. A metal ram pushes down onto the cardboard at great force, crushing the waste into a compact bale. Once baled, the waste can be tied off with banding and removed from the baler ready for collection.

What materials can go in cardboard balers?

This depends on the type of recycling baler you have. Some machinery can handle cardboard as well as other recyclables such as paper or plastic, while others are only able to process cardboard waste.

Does my business need a cardboard baler?

Many businesses decide they need a cardboard baler machine once their recycling requirements increase to a point where they can’t manage it manually. When staff are having to process a lot of cardboard waste by hand, it can hinder other areas of the business, and cardboard balers can help with this.

How much does it cost to buy an industrial cardboard baler?

The cost of a cardboard baler will depend on the type and size of the machine. Industrial cardboard balers are generally top of the line models which have a higher price tag, although there are smaller models which are more budget friendly.

What size cardboard baler is right for me?

It is important to understand what size machine you need before you start looking for a cardboard baler for sale. Think about the filling opening and how much space you need to get your cardboard waste into the chamber. Consider the bale size required and how much space you have on premise for storing these before collection.

Do cardboard baler machines require maintenance?

As with all machinery, cardboard balers require regular servicing to keep them running smoothly. Once you buy a cardboard baler, you should ensure you have a servicing strategy in place, as failing to look after the machine can result in downtime and further issues.
