FAQs
What type of baler is best for a recycling facility?
The best baler depends on the materials being processed and daily throughput. High-volume facilities often benefit from auto-tie or two ram balers, while specialty equipment may be recommended for materials such as EPS or non-ferrous metals.
Can one baler process multiple recyclable materials?
Many facilities processing multiple waste streams choose two ram balers because they are designed to efficiently handle a variety of recyclable materials.
Does Baleforce offer equipment for foam and EPS recycling?
Yes. Baleforce supplies both foam balers and EPS densifiers specifically designed to reduce the volume of expanded foam and polystyrene materials.
How do balers improve recycling operations?
Balers reduce material volume, improve storage efficiency, lower transportation costs, and produce dense bales that are easier to market and transport.
