BUYING the RIGHT BALER.

The article offers guidelines on the factors to consider when purchasing balers. When looking for an equipment, it is important to consider a facility's production demands and the types of materials it handles, as well as anticipate its growth and size the machine accordingly. The future needs of the recycled materials buyers should also factor into the baler purchasing decision. Cost and operational convenience are other factors to weigh. Valley Recycling based in Chatsworth, California selected its baler because it produces higher density bales, which reduce shipping costs and baling wire expenses. For instance, if a baler can produce a 2,500-pound bale with the same height, length and width dimensions as a 2,000-pound bale, then a company will save wiring costs over the long-term. Considering how much the price of steel has increased in months, reducing the money a company spends on wire can be very important. Service and value are important in selecting the right baler. Buying the right baler requires analysis of factors, from the types of materials your facility processes to the purchase cost. However, undertaking the analysis before making a purchase can help ensure that a baler effectively serves a facility.
