Miscellaneous Equipment For Sale in Ireland

Balers are a common option for the processing of paper and card, ensuring that large amounts of recyclable material can be compressed into manageable bales that are then easy to store and transport. There are two main types of baler available, with stand-alone vertical baler units taking up the least space and offering the option for hand-loading. Horizontal balers may be integrated into work lines so that large amounts of material can be loaded automatically for quick consecutive bale creation. The type of material that a used baler has dealt with in the past may play a role in how much wear and tear has occurred, with scrap paper being a less potentially problematic load than sturdier card, which is worth bearing in mind.

Wood Chippers

---

Wood chippers are also available in the recycling equipment category, making it possible for timber and waste boards to be broken down speedily and safely. Often powered by diesel engines, wood chippers may require manual feeding or can offer automated conveyor systems to improve efficiency. Check to see the type of chipping edge that is included within the mill, as this will impact the size of the material which is produced by the machine.

Picking Stations

For larger operations it is possible to find second-hand picking stations available on the market with multiple bays and conveyors to allow a variety of materials to be organised effectively. The inclusion of hoppers to receive the sorted materials, as well as a reject belt where unwanted items can end up for disposal, may be desirable. Other benefits, such as magnetised belts above the feed line to remove scrap metal, can be sought on certain models. And when purchasing this type of large-scale machinery, remember that installation costs will need to be factored into the final price.

Extractors

Extractors help to automate the recycling process, with modern density separator models not only pulling scrap metal away from other materials but also allowing for plastic to be separated out so that only degradable items remain. For businesses that are facing steep landfill costs, this type of equipment could provide a suitable way of lessening this expense. Single-pass throughput to achieve the best results will be required of this kind of equipment if it is to be effectively deployed. And for any machinery which is reliant on complex mechanisms of conveyance, considering the state of the individual elements housed within is vital when you are looking to acquire a second-hand model.
