Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a mill size baler?

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 cardboard balers with the only difference being the size of bale produced. A mill size 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 of cardboard 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 a mill size baler?

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 from a mill size baler are more efficient to store and transport and therefore also reduce carbon footprint. We have over 20 years' experience of providing mill size waste balers for sale and hire in the UK and therefore consider ourselves to be a Mill Size Baler Specialist.
