Balers have become essential machinery for all companies seeking to optimize waste management and reduce operating costs. If not properly managed, packaging can take up a lot of space, and handling it can require many hours of manual, tiring work for operators.
A baler offers enormous benefits to both small artisan businesses and large logistics centers. It allows you to compact paper and cardboard, as well as plastic, polystyrene, and other packaging materials, transforming bulky volumes into bales ready for recycling.
But what can a baler really handle and when is it worth adopting one?
Baling press: what materials can it handle?
Packaging presses They are designed to work with a wide range of materials. Paper and cardboard, which make up the majority of waste in warehouses and supermarkets, can easily be reduced by more than 80% of their volume. Even plastic and stretch film, which are also widely used in industrial packaging, are compacted into stable, easy-to-store bales.
Some more advanced models are designed for complex materials such as expanded polystyrene or PET bottles.
When is a baling press useful?
Adopting a baler is especially convenient in those contexts where the volume of waste is significant and, if not managed, risks compromising order and operating spaces:
- for a small artisan workshop it means freeing up space and reducing disposal costs;
- for a warehouse or supermarket it means speeding up processes and improving workplace safety;
- while for large logistics centers a baling press is an investment that increases overall efficiency and significantly reduces transportation and waste management costs.
Baling presses: Effe3Ti's best offerings
Since there's no single baler that's right for every business, Effe3Ti offers a wide range of solutions to meet diverse production and logistics needs. Among the most representative models are three examples that demonstrate how versatile and efficient current technologies can be.
Styropress: the solution for expanded polystyrene
Styropress is a packaging press specifically for expanded polystyrene, very common in the packaging of household appliances and electronic products: it transforms bulky and light material into compact briquettes, reducing the original volume by up to 97%.
This not only frees up warehouse space, which can then be used for other activities, but also significantly reduces transportation costs and provides a material that is easily recyclable and recoverable.
BP28: vertical power for paper and cardboard
BP28 on the other hand is a vertical chamber press with a compression force of 28 tons, ideal for those who need to handle large volumes of paper and cardboard.
It can produce bales weighing between 280 and 350 kg, perfect for handling with pallet trucks or forklifts. The semi-automatic system makes it easy to use and suitable for medium and large businesses looking to optimize their packaging waste disposal without sacrificing robustness and operational safety.
JumboLoadBaler: the automatic baler for large volumes
JumboLoadBaler represents the ideal solution for very high productivity contexts, such as logistics centers and large-scale distribution. This is one of the most advanced packaging machines in the Effe3Ti catalog.
Equipped with automatic loading and pre-compression systems, it can produce up to two 400 kg bales per hour, ensuring operational continuity and minimizing manual intervention. Thanks to various feeding options (hopper, swing arm, hydraulic pusher), it adapts to multiple industrial layouts and can compact cardboard and plastic film, as well as PET and cans.
The baling press is a strategic investment
Whether it's a small workshop, a supermarket, or a large logistics hub, a baling press is increasingly an essential investment. The reasons are obvious:
- reduces volumes and costs;
- allows you to improve the organization of spaces;
- increases workplace safety;
- contributes concretely to corporate sustainability;
- produces added value thanks to the saleability of the bales produced.
With machines such as the Styropress, BP28 and JumboLoadBaler, Effe3Ti demonstrates how it is possible to find the right machine for every need.
