Manufacturing & Packaging Plant Waste Balers & Compactors
Manufacturing and packaging environments produce constant waste streams: corrugated packaging, scraps of plastic, offcuts, empty drums, and pallets. Left unmanaged, these scraps can disrupt workflows, clutter floors, and increase handling costs.
Kenburn’s balers and compactors are built for heavy-duty operations. They transform loose waste into dense, transport-ready forms, reduce the volume of disposal and help maintain an organised, safe, and efficient production line.

Typical Waste Streams in Manufacturing & Packaging
| Material Type | Facility Challenge | Kenburn Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Corrugated cardboard | Packaging from production runs | Vertical/horizontal baler semi automatic or fully automatic baler |
| Plastic lining & offcuts | Bulky and irregular in volume | Plastic baler or mill-size baler |
| Empty drums | Hazardous or metal drums take up space | In-Drum Compactor compactor a variety of waste streams inside the drum. Drum compactors compact the entire drum |
| Wood pallets & crate debris | Bulky, and difficult to manage | Jumbo Roll Packer, ideal for compacting wood and pallets |
| Mixed general waste | Slows cleaning and handling around lines | Static Compactor (KS series) or Portable Compactors, Wet waste compactors |
