FAQ

Compacting in brief.

What is a cardboard baler?

A cardboard baler compresses cardboard or plastic film into compact bales at the point where the waste is produced. This saves storage space and transport, and the bales can be sold as secondary raw material.

What is the difference between a baler and a compactor?

Balers focus on recyclable materials such as cardboard and plastic, which are pressed into bales for resale. Compactors take any type of waste and reduce its volume in a container.

Does SULO Group offer maintenance for balers and compactors?

Yes. SULO Group provides mandatory maintenance and inspection, installation and repair, rental and retrofit for balers and compactors.
