Today's balers are more efficient and versatile than ever before and provide an invaluable link in the waste management chain, but they need to be handled properly in order to achieve optimum results. Martyn Kentish, Technical Services Manager at ACM, gives some key pointers in the art of creating the perfect cardboard bale:

1. Always use fully trained operators to use balers. It is common sense that to be safe and efficient an operator should have been competently trained.
2. When beginning a bale lay a piece of cardboard into the bottom of the baler, making sure that it is approximately the same size as the bottom of the baler. Then place additional material onto this. When complete it will help to keep the integrity of the bale and prevent smaller pieces falling out.
3. When baling, spread the cardboard about evenly. This will create a more compact and, therefore, denser bale. A more compact bale will reduce the overall volume required for storage.
4. When baling cardboard boxes, break them open rather than putting them in whole. This allows them to be laid flat and will create a more compact bale.
5. When completing a bale reverse the process in point 2 by putting a large sheet of cardboard on top to complete the 'sandwich' effect and producing a well constructed and tidy bale.
6. When tying off the twine for smaller bales and wire for mill size bales, tie them off as tightly as possible. This will prevent the bales expanding when the pressure of the baler is released and the bale ejected. This will make storage and transportation easier.
7. Make sure that the waste has as little contamination from plastics or polythene as this will reduce the value of mill size bales and make recycling and disposal more difficult for smaller size bales.
8. Always keep bales dry. Transport is governed by weight restrictions and you do not want to use your transport to move water. If you are receiving revenue from mill size bales, the mill may reject a bale if the water content is deemed to be too great. The maximum a mill will accept is 12% water content.
9. Never place any combustibles or pressurised vessels into a baler, if you are in doubt about the effect of placing something into a baler, leave it out and seek advice.
10. Maximise the cost effectiveness of your waste streams by ensuring that all cardboard is removed from the general waste and baled together.
