One of the easiest mistakes in recycling equipment is starting with a machine.

“We need an auto-tie.”

“We need a two-ram.”

“We need a closed-door.”

Maybe.

But first:

What are you putting into it?

OCC and Paper

For high-volume OCC, paper, printing, corrugated, and similar applications, a Balemaster auto-tie baler can provide continuous production and automatic tying.

When the material volume doesn't justify that level of automation, a Balemaster closed-door baler may provide a simpler solution.

Same general material.

Different operational requirements.

Different equipment.

Specialty Materials

Now change the material.

Foam.

Plastics.

Textiles.

Manufacturing scrap.

Material that expands.

Material that needs complete ejection.

Material that doesn't behave like OCC.

This is where Excel full-eject closed-door and specialty full-eject balers can create additional options.

The material's behavior matters just as much as its weight.

Multiple Commodities

What if the operation doesn't process one material?

Today it's OCC.

Tomorrow plastic.

Then another recyclable commodity.

A two-ram baler can provide flexibility across multiple material streams.

And two-ram technology isn't limited to enormous recycling facilities.

BRT can offer smaller Excel two-ram balers for operations that need two-ram capability without jumping immediately into the largest equipment category.

For demanding, high-production applications, Excel also offers large two-ram solutions.

Sometimes You Need to Change the Material First

The baler may not be the first machine required.

Bulky material may need shredding.

Loose material may need an air system.

Large containers may need a box dumper.

Material may need a conveyor.

The entire process matters.

Five Questions Before Selecting a Baler

What is the material?

How much is generated?

How quickly is it generated?

What finished bale is required?

How will material enter and leave the system?

Answer those first.

Then select the machine.

BRT can evaluate Balemaster auto-tie and closed-door balers, Excel full-eject and two-ram balers, shredders, conveyors, and complete material-handling systems around the application.
