Balers - Tips for Owning

  • Do not allow anyone other than designated and trained operators to operate the bailer.
  • Keep material in baler dry. Added water weight will only reduce the amount that can be transported at once.
  • Do not place any aerosol or otherwise pressurized devices in a baler. Death, injury, or damage can and will occur.
  • Break open cardboard boxes for most efficient baling.
  • Spread material to be baled evenly for best compacting action.
  • Put a piece of cardboard on top and bottom of the bale before tying to prevent loss of waste material. Typically this is done by putting one sheet on the bottom before baling, and one on top before tying the wires.
  • Bale all salable materials in homogenous bundles to ensure the maximum sale price of these materials. Recyclers don’t want to sort your waste.
  • Prevent plastic and paper/cardboard from mixing in bales. If not, a recycler will have to sort your waste.
  • Tie the bales as tight as possible to prevent expanding in transport or storage.
  • Always follow each and every manufacturer recommendation. Death, injury, or damage can result from mis-use of any machine. Keep in mind these machines are under pressure and are powered by industrial voltage. Perform maintenance as recommended.
