In order to first make an informed decision, you should asses your business needs in regards to your waste production. Ask yourself the following questions:
- How much waste does my business produce daily?
- Is the majority of the waste recyclable materials?
- How much space do I have to install a compactor or a baler?
Do I have the staff to operate it or, or would an automatic option be preferable? This can really help in narrowing down your options when it comes to browsing the models available. We have the best models from dependable dealers, such as the high-quality baler and compaction solutions provided by Presona.
Compactor or Baler?
If you’re looking for a better way to manage your recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastic or paper, and are planning on managing this waste material in order to sell to a recycling company, then a baler is your best choice. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a better overall waste management system and looking to compact your waste into more manageable cubes to save on space and waste collection, then a compactor is the most suitable option.
New or Used?
This depends entirely on your budget and your needs. If you can comfortably afford a new model and would prefer a brand new option, then there is no reason not to. However, if you’re looking to save money wherever possible, then used compactors and balers are just as dependable and can be provided with all the same maintenance and service contracts to ensure the best running of your machine. You should compare new and used models to find the best fit.
Vertical or Horizontal?
Both versions will produce the same end result, but your preferred option depends on the space you have to install the machine. If you have a building with a low roof, for example, you will need to consider a horizontal machine. Each option can also differ on ease of operation and time taken to fulfill the job, so you should compare both to find the more suitable version for your business.
Manual or Automatic?
If your business has limited staff, you may wish to consider an automatic version so that you don’t have to designate the manual operation of the machine to an employee. Alternatively, if you wish to oversee the entire process of the baler or compactor, then you can opt for a manual option, such as a manual-tie horizontal baler, which can be maintained by your staff.
