Cardboard Compaction

40-100 kg p/day

Reducing cardboard waste in small businesses with lower volumes (up to 100 kg p/day) is a primary motivation to invest in compacting equipment, such as WastePac’s vertical balers.

These balers, such as the WastePac 60, are designed for tight spaces in retail stores, offices, and urban venues. They handle boxes up to 1 meter wide and offer custom bale weights with a pressing force of up to 6 tons, ideal for cardboard recycling.

WastePac also offer a low-volume multi-chamber baler for sorting and baling various materials simultaneously. These units provide time- and labor-saving solutions, optimise commodity value, and reduce transport costs while addressing small businesses’ safety and environmental concerns. Bin presses further reduce waste collection costs by compacting standard bin sizes like the 240 L at a 5:1 compression ratio.

The 1100 L Bin Press compacts waste into existing 1100 L or 660 L bins at a 3:1 compression rate, while the WastePac Bag Press offers an astounding 10:1 ratio, ideal for tight spaces benefiting premises such as retail, nursing homes, offices, small hospitality, hospitals, and cinemas.

100-300 kg p/day

Waste Initiatives offers innovative solutions for efficient cardboard waste management. Their balers and compactors are designed to maximise space utilisation and minimise manual labor while handling moderate cardboard waste volumes, typically ranging from 100 to 300 kgs p/day.

A standout performer, the WastePac 300 Low Height Baler is ideal for medium-volume cardboard waste, accommodating large boxes up to 1.2 meters wide and exerting a pressing force of up to 20 tons. It automatically produces 300 kg bales, making it suitable for facilities with limited vertical space. The WastePac 200 Multi Chamber Baler is versatile, with up to 6 optional chambers for continuous loading while others compact, making it an excellent choice for space-restricted areas. It exerts a pressing force of up to 16 tons, producing bales up to 200 kg with automatic ejection. For low labour efficiency, the PS1400 Roto Baler, an automated baler, features a rotating compaction head for efficient cardboard waste compaction in plastic bale bags on pallets. Alternatively, the APS1100 Roto Compactor effectively compacts cardboard within an 1100L wheelie bin. Both have a compaction rate of 10:1, and retail stores favour them for their ease of use and small footprint.
