Scrap Balers Industry Information
Scrap Balers
Scrap balers crush, bale, and compact a broad range of scrap
materials for the purpose of recycling or waste recovery. They can allow for
the separation of various waste materials and the ability to compact them for
collection. Items that can be processed range from small aluminum cans and
newspaper to objects as large as vehicles or washing machines. Whenever an
application needs scrap materials to be dealt with efficiently, there are
balers available that are built specifically for baling certain waste materials
of certain quantities. Depending on the needs of the application, scrap balers
can be equipped with features such as cranes, graphic operator panels, or
remote control abilities, in order to product dense bales at the highest
possible rate. Nowadays, there is no single baler configuration that has been
in demand for the processing of scrap.
Scrap baling systems can also be equipped with conveyor
belts to regulate input and output of scrap materials. Anyone who has visited a
scrap facility may encounter a conveyor belt transporting scrap material uphill
into a chamber where the material is compressed. Traditionally, these conveyor
systems were designed for the scrap material to be dropped downward into a pit,
where they are baled and eventually carried back upward to be shipped.
Pit balers can still be found today in recycling facilities
throughout North America, but scrap baling systems have grown and changed over
the years to become more efficient and more specialized depending on the type
of material that needs to be processed. For example, recyclers of non-ferrous
metals favor two-ram scrap baling systems due to their heavily-reinforced
structure, durability, and flexibility in handling multiple applications.
One can typically find scrap balers in places such as
warehouses, drugstores, supermarkets, manufacturing plants, shopping centers,
recycling facilities, and distribution centers. No matter what type of baler
that a particular business is in need of, scrap balers can provide a variety of
profitable and environmental benefits. Due to increased pressure from both the
government and society as a whole for business to “go green,” scrap balers have
increased in popularity to keep waste to a minimum. In addition, they can
assist in increasing storage space, reduce the cost of waste collection, reduce
fire hazards, improve efficiency, improve working conditions, and save a
company time and money on processing scrap.
Scrap balers can be rented or purchased as standalone
machines, or as a model that can be fitted in as part of a larger scrap management
system. Baler manufacturers listed here on IQS can help you find the scrap
baler that can fulfill the needs of your scrap and non-ferrous metal recycling
needs.
