The Use of Balers for Reusing Waste Material
Cort Walberg
Baler is a machine used for material recycling facilities in industrial area to compresses items such as cardboard, plastic, paper or other shredded materials. In Agriculture, baler is used to compress a crop like straw or hay into bales and then binds them.
For the purpose of harvesting agriculture, equipment is employed called 'hay baler'. With the help of this equipment crops are cut and gathered to make hay for feeding the cattle. It is also useful to cut hay and finally it is compressed into square or round shape of bales that occupy less space and make transportation easy.
Though hay balers facilitate easy transportation and good storage capacity, they require more attention. Small square bales normally weigh 18-32 kg; need to be sheltered from rain or snow in order to protect them from getting rotted. As for the large round bales, they are safe in the open air. Rain will run off the sides of such bales because of their round shape, so there is no such threat.
Initially bales were dropped down on the floor and their twines were removed by hand. After drying the haystack, the tightly compacted balers required to be torn apart for use. Recently, this manual bale handling process is made easy by a bale shredder with its rotary cutting teeth. So farmers can take benefit of this bale shredder.
In industries, byproducts and other waste like office paper are compacted by using balers. Some recycling companies use such balers with a view to reuse the waste for future production. Balers are made of steel which are hydraulically operated. They are used to compress the loaded materials.
Baler is also used to compact items like plastics and metals. There are some compactors and baler used in industry in order to extract oils or liquids from metals. Since recycling becomes necessary in industries in order to reuse materials, baling facilities are very much in demand. For example, scrap metal is recycled into new sheet metal which is used in automobiles.
