Choosing The Right Clothing Baler
This post will help you learn more about the types of balers used to recycle clothes.
Companies, charities, municipalities, and apparel/footwear companies who are involved in textile recycling know the importance of having a clothing baler to ensure easier storage and transport. These recycling machines help to ensure safety and security in moving the products, as well as creating a cleaner, less hazardous work area. Just as importantly, clothing balers offer greater efficiency in employee time and productivity, saving both time and money.
But, how do you know which type of clothing baler is best for your businesses’ operations?
Typically, you need a larger chamber to accommodate the sheer size of clothing. Not only that, but most recyclers prefer to pay for mill-sized, or 60″ wide bales that are easier to load into cargo transport containers.
Here are four models of Harmony clothes baler machines that are commonly used to bale textiles:
