A: A Mil-tek consultant will guide you in making this decision. What you need to know is the approximate amount of e.g. cardboard you generate every day, in what stream and in what sizes it comes. In addition to this you should know how much space you have available for a machine. This basic information combined with your business set-up forms the basis for evaluating which model machine you need.
A: Yes, Mil-tek provides a range of rental and lease options tailored to suit each organisations' individual requirements. Go to the rental pages or to the locations page to find the nearest Mil-tek branch and ask what oiptions they can offer for your business.
A: Balers and compactor can be installed indoors or out - what is most important is that you place your machine close to where waste is generated e.g. a store room or an unpacking area. If you place the machine outside it should be under a roof. You should also be aware that cold weather conditions can influence the performance of your baler or compactor. A Mil-tek consultant will help analysing the best place to install the machine.
A: If you already have an air-line you will not need any - the machine can be simply connected to the existing airline. If you do not have an air-line, the compressor requires a standard AC outlet i.e. not a 3-phase, thus avoiding any expensive electrician-related cost.
A: As they are air-powered rather than hydraulic, Mil-tek balers and compactors are extremely quiet. If you have an existing air-line you can simply plug the machine in and then your existing compressor acts as the engine. If you need to have a compressor installed, a Mil-tek technician will ensure that the compressor is placed at an appropriate distance from the machine.
A: Mil-tek balers and compactors are very straightforward to use. An educated and licensed Mil-tek technician will train a key staff member so that he or she understands how the machine works and can in turn train other staff members. The training is simple and quick and means almost anyone can learn how to use a Mil-tek machine.
A: Standard and HD are similar in size and carbon footprint, but the HD (Heavy Duty) handles higher volumes and produces denser bales. What you need to know is the approximate amount of e.g. cardboard you generate every day, in what stream and in what sizes it comes. This basic information combined with your business set-up forms the basis for evaluating which model machine you need.
A: Yes, you can, although we recommend you do not do it at the same time. If you have a steady mix of both, Mil-tek also supplies a plastic bag stand allowing you to store plastic neatly while you build a cardboard bale. Once you are ready, you can then make a plastic bale. You can order your own plastic bag stand here...
A: Yes, you can. The Mil-tek X-Press is air-powered, meaning that not only is there no risk of contamination from oil, it is also extremely quiet. As there can be local rules and legislation on this topic, always discuss with you Mil-tek consultant, as he will let you know what is possible.
A: Mil-tek consultant will guide you in making this decision. The EPS1000 Polystyrene Compactor and EPS 1800 are different in size and carbon footprint, - the EPS1800 is designed to handle higher volumes of EPS and run continuously throughout the day.
A: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is inert and does not de-compose; once it enters landfill it will stay there forever. By compacting and recycling polystyrene, you can reduce your existing waste costs by up to 80%, by avoiding unnecessary transport costs and reducing bins and lifts required. You can also generate money by doing this as polystyrene is a great waste source that can be recycled with great success.
A: All Mil-tek machines are pneumatic (air-powered) rather than hydraulic. For this you will need a supply of compressed air. Many organisations have one of these, and if that is the case then your baler or compactor can be powered from this directly.
