Baler or Compactor, which one is right for you?


If your business involves regular handling of waste material, a waste compactor or a baler can help make your task much easier. What’s the difference between a compactor and a baler? How can you determine which one suits your needs the best? Here is a comparison to help you choose the right machine:

Material Type:
Compactors are used to compress a large amount of unsorted mixed waste into a contained area to be picked up and collected by waste collector and further delivered to landfill.
Balers are for compressing recyclable materials sorted from general waste stream, such as paper, cardboard, plastics, metal etc., into dense and regularly shaped bales for further recycling and reuse.

Destination:
Waste recyclers may prefer to receive recyclable materials in a specific weight and/or size. Transportation of dense bales is cost-effective. Baler is the right choice in this case.
If a trash collector is picking up the finished units, larger loads from a compactor are preferred.

In general, a baler is used to bale or bundle recyclable material such as cardboard, paper, plastics, metal etc., for resale to a recycling company. A compactor is simply used to reduce the volume of trash before being picked up by a hauling company.

With the right understanding of the two machines, you can decide which machine is the correct one for your business.
