So, your waste is piling high, you can’t keep track of it, your premises are now more waste than product – a sea of empty boxes and overflowing bins that keeps you up at night. Yesterday one of your staff was giving you a production report and you thought a cloud of plastic wrapping had morphed into the shape of a human. Let’s face it: you need a fully automatic baler.
You may have heard of the benefits of balers for high-volume waste producers, but a baler is just part of the solution. An automatic baler does the job of reducing and storing waste for you, freeing up staff to work on more profitable activities and helping to keep your facility tidy.
A big problem that large warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centres face is the time, space, and labour costs of managing waste. It’s easy to overlook how much time your team spends handling, loading, and processing waste. Here’s where fully automatic balers make a difference.
Non-automatic balers can reduce waste volume, but they often require manual feeding and handling, which takes up staff time and slows the process. Fully automatic balers, on the other hand, go a step further. They reduce the size of your waste by up to 90%, quickly compressing materials and eliminating the need for hands-on involvement. Just think of the amount of floor space that could be reclaimed if waste was neatly compacted rather than taking up aisle after aisle, or thrown to the back alleys!
Automation saves time – and for businesses dealing with large waste volumes, perhaps in a warehouse environment where waste piles up, time is most definitely money. Fully automatic warehouse balers streamline the entire baling process, meaning that once a mobile cart of waste is in place within the baler (in the case of the AutoLoadBaler), the machine takes over. This frees up hours of labour each day, allowing your staff to focus on core operations instead of being tethered to a baler. Imagine the operational hours saved across a year, allowing you to reinvest those resources into more profitable parts of your business.
Choosing the right baler ensures you’re maximising your space, time, and return on investment. For high-volume waste producers, a fully automatic baler machine can handle large loads with ease. These machines are designed to produce mill-sized bales that can be sold, turning waste disposal into a potential revenue stream. These balers are also available for businesses tight on space but high on output, ensuring no square foot is wasted.
Fully automatic balers represent a significant initial investment, but the cost savings over time are considerable. By reducing manual labour, increasing bale density, and capitalising on operational efficiency, automatic balers can lead to annual savings in labour costs, as well as reduced need for external waste handling. Over their lifespan, these machines often pay for themselves many times over.
If you’re producing a high volume of waste daily and struggling to keep up in, say a fast-paced shopping environment, you may not have the time to keep operating a baler between serving customers and making sure the shop runs as it should. In this respect, a fully automatic retail baler can be transformative. Not only does it clear your space and allow for smoother operations, but it also generates revenue through bale rebates and resale. Fully automatic balers simplify waste management while adding value – a vital investment for any large-scale operation looking to streamline and optimise its processes.
With the right fully automatic baler in place, waste management becomes a seamless, hands-off process, leaving your business free to focus on what really matters.
