What is an Auto Tie Baler & Why Are They Used?

Auto tie balers are typically horizontally oriented recycling machines that advance predetermined sized bales through the chamber and automatically tie it. They are used by businesses that generate large volumes of recyclable waste in the form of paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and more. Like other horizontal balers or vertical balers, auto tie balers create valuable revenue streams for businesses while keeping their workplaces free from hazards, safe, and clean. They also help to reduce on waste hauling costs and keep recyclables out of the waste stream.

They are often used by facilities that generate at least 50 tons of recyclable commodities per month, like distribution centers, paper mills, printers, paper converters, transfer stations, & recycling centers. Here are just some of the advantages of using an auto tie recycling baler:

Efficiency: As stated earlier, this is the most obvious benefit to using an auto tie baler. These automated systems run continuously, producing mill-sized bales up to 5x faster than manual tie balers. This is especially important when considering today’s labor shortages and workforce challenges. Not only is it expensive to hire manual labor to tie large quantities of bales a day, its tough to find the labor to hire.
Safety: While tying bales is inherently a safe and easy task, bale wire and clean out rods can be sharp. The use of box cutters to break down boxes also poses risk to employees. Auto tie balers handle large boxes without them being broken down and make the tying of bales fast and easy, without any human hands, and are automatically ejected from the baler.
ROI: Because of the volume of material being baled, the quality and sell-ability of the resulting bales, the labor savings, and cost savings of using spooled bale wire instead of bundles of pre-looped wire, there is a measurable return on investment on auto tie balers. With regular preventive maintenance and proper operation, these durable machines typically outlast their life-expectancy.
