WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN BUYING A BALER?

WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL ARE YOU BALING?

It is essential to identify the recyclable waste material in your business and its percentage of your total waste bill. For example, a shop with a hot food counter will average 60-70% packaging waste, and by segregating and baling this waste, the owner can reduce their waste collection fees by up to 60%. Some material types may help determine the correct type of baler for you. For example, a heavy-duty baler can bale aluminium cans and even car tyres.

HOW MUCH WASTE DO YOU NEED TO BALE?

Smaller shops and retail stores are generally best served by a smaller baler that takes up minimal space and produces small enough bales that fit easily through doorways and can be managed by a single person. Think about how many cardboard boxes you need to bale per day. The higher your volumes, the more often you’ll have to tie off bales.

HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU HAVE?

Dimensions and footprint sizes are essential when considering vertical balers. Also, consider the ceiling height when calculating the available space. For example, a low-height baler with ram chambers on its sides can handle larger volumes.

DON'T JUST FOCUSED ON THE PRICE, DO YOUR RESEARCH VERY WELL FOR THE TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT YOU WILL BUY.

Buying a baler without proper consideration of what’s required to suit your needs can often lead to pitfalls that could have been avoided. These commonly are; Baler purchased is too big or too small. If the baler is too small, your operators will have to tie off a bale too often making the effort required a lot more than necessary, or it restricts the company as it grows. On the flipside, the baler could be too big meaning that the cost outlay at the start could be higher than what’s required. As KOZKEL, we will guide you in choosing the bale press machine with the right technical specifications.

ALWAYS ASK IF THE COMPANY YOU PURCHASE YOUR BALER HAS AFTER SALES TECHNICAL SERVICE AND WHICH COMPANY PROVIDES THIS.

Technical support is generaly not considered. Working with a team that has solid back-up and support after the sale can make all the difference. Consider your operations, and what the impact would be if your baler was down. How fast can the supplier respond and fix an issue, and do they keep spare parts on hand? Comparing baler spec is critical to purchasing. By doing this properly it will help make sure you are purchasing the best value baler, not necessarily the cheapest baler. You need the right baler with the right size, power requirements, pressing force, and ease of use to suit the work that the baler will be doing for you. Take the time in doing this thoroughly.

PRIORITIZE THE SAFETY OF YOUR PERSONNEL WHO WILL USE THE BALER.

All our KK model machines are produced in accordance with the European safety requirements standard and have EN 16500:2014 and CE certificates.

MEET FACE TO FACE WITH THE MANAGER OF THE COMPANY YOU WILL BUY YOUR PRESS MACHINE.

There are many companies that sell on a commission basis on the internet. After selling the product and taking the payment, you may encounter difficulties in reaching these companies by phone or e-mail. It is very important to find an interlocutor in all kinds of negativities that may occur. As KOZKEL, we will be happy to host you in our head office in Istanbul.
