Kenburn’s Commitment

Kenburn balers are trusted by UK retailers, warehouses and manufacturers to cut cardboard costs and keep sites efficient. From vertical units to automatic horizontals, our solutions reduce clutter and support recycling.

Financial Benefits

If your site is currently putting cardboard waste into a bin or a skip, as it’s loose material, you’ll be paying a higher than necessary cost for transport. If the cardboard is compacted using a baling machine then it becomes a ‘’win win’’ scenario as you’ll reduce your transport costs and may receive a revenue for materials you’re currently paying to have taken away.
