How to Handle Post-Production Waste in Manufacturing and Distribution

There are many advantages of installing a baler or compactor in a factory that handles large volumes of production waste. Both solutions are designed to reduce waste volume, improve internal logistics, and support sustainability goals.

A modern baler compresses waste materials into compact, manageable bales. Similarly, a compactor compresses general, dry, or even wet waste into a smaller mass, allowing for cleaner operations and less frequent pickups.

Key benefits include:

• Better organization of working hours – both balers and compactors are easy to operate. A Bramidan technician will train your staff during installation, and training can be arranged for new staff later on.
• Increased revenue from recyclables – balers prepare sorted materials like cardboard and plastic for resale in neat, strapped bales.
• More storage space – compacted waste takes up significantly less room, keeping your facility cleaner and more organised.
• Lower internal costs – machines can be placed directly at the waste source (e.g., alongside the production line), reducing the need for manual handling.
• Improved workflow and hygiene – especially with self-contained compactors that prevent leaks and odours from wet waste.
• Fewer waste collections – compactors can reduce collection frequency by compressing more waste into each container, leading to lower transport costs.
• Strong focus on safety – Our machines meet the safety standards EN 16500, EN 16252, and EN 16486.
