Paper Recycling — Saving Money, Sanity

Heeter then instituted a baling system, but it wasn’t automated, and employees would have to take time to tie the bales, according to Tim Thomas, executive vice president. It was a modest improvement over the old system.

Finally, Heeter signed on with Advanced Equipment Sales (AES) to devise an evacuation and baling system. The printer reconfigured some receiving racks and bindery equipment but, thanks in part to its high ceilings, Heeter didn’t need to alter its building to accommodate the system. The system was completed in the summer of 2007.
