Paper Recycling Systems — Waste Not, Want Money

Connell notes that Balemaster manufactures heavy-duty, automatic balers equipped with touchscreen interfaces. Dust control features also minimize dust emissions in the baling room, a critical feature.

On the subject of costs to ship recycled paper, baled paper reaps a higher price because it’s better loaded onto a tractor trailer or rail car for shipment directly to the paper mill, states Don Seaver, sales specialist and system integrator for G.F. Puhl Co. A printer can experience logistical problems with the transfer of scrap paper from the production equipment to the trailer or rail car without a trim collection system in place or if the system isn’t adequate to handle all evacuation of the scrap.
