Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a mill size baler?

A baling machine that makes large mill-size bales.

A mill size baler compacts most types of cardboard waste and plastic waste into large mill size bales. Mill Size Balers operate in the same way as a other vertical balers with the only difference being the size of bale produced. A mill baler produces large mill sized bales of recyclable material such as cardboard which can be sent straight to a Recycling Facility so they are a very efficient way of dealing with waste. This is because bales produced by a smaller baler often need to be re-baled into larger mill sized bales before they can be processed.

2. What are the benefits of these balers?

Mill-size bales of recyclable material are a valuable commodity

By using a mill size baler you can maximise your financial returns from your used cardboard. Recyclers pay more for mill sized bales of recyclable materials because they do not need to be re-baled after collection. Due to their size, bales are more efficient to store and transport and therefore also reduce carbon footprint. 

3. What types of material can be baled in a mill size baler?

Many types of recyclable waste such as cardboard, plastic, shrink wrap & polythene.

Many businesses use these balers for cardboard and plastic waste, including bottles, shrink wrap, polythene and packaging. We also have machines in our range that can bale carpet and textiles. They are favoured by businesses who produce lots of waste such as large retail outlets, manufacturers and distribution centres.

4. Are these balers available for hire?

Yes!

5. What size of baler do I need?

First, book a meeting with a Baler Expert from QCR

To determine what size of baler you need, you first need to find out how much cardboard and/or plastic waste is generated at your site, which if you're considering this size of baler is likely to be contained in a large number of bins or skips. If you currently separate your recyclables into different bins, this will be much easier to work out as you'll be able to find this out from your Waste Collection company. If you are new to baling, we'd definitely recommend booking a free no-obligation site survey with one of our friendly team who can pop to your site and appraise the most cost-effective size of mill size baler based on your waste volumes.

6. How much are QCR's mill size balers?

Depends on chosen model.

The cost of a baler depends on the model you choose. Whilst a smaller baler will be cheaper, if you have large amounts of waste a larger mill size baler is likelly to be more efficient and will generate a higher financial return for your bales. We can help you create a cost-benefit analysis to present to your organisation and also help you calculate the return on investment from a baler installation. 

7. Do you offer mill size bale collection?

No, but we will introduce you to our trusted local recycler network.

Mill size bales when collected in bulk are a valuable commodity. If you have purchased or hired one of our mill size baling machines from us, QCR can introduce you to a trusted local recycler who can collect your mill size bales and in most cases, provide you with a rebate if your mill size bales qualify in terms of quantity collected and quality of bale.

8. Do you offer mill size carpet balers?

Yes, we have new and used carpet balers for sale.

Carpet balers can be used to reduce the disposal costs of carpet when compared with skips. Our team can advise you which of our machines you can use to bale carpet and which type of banding to use. We can also introduce you to a specialist carpet recycler.

9. Do you offer Mill Size Baler trials?

Yes, you can book a Mill Size Baler machine demonstration at your workplace

QCR are happy to offer Mill Size Baler trials to businesses in the UK (subject to some geographical restrictions). However, as specialist equipment is needed to deliver the machine to your site, we will ask you to cover this delivery cost prior to the trial. The good news is that if you decide to keep the machine, the delivery cost will be refunded.
