The custom-built baler incorporates a bespoke feeding conveyor, a stand-alone control panel giving online access to production and performance data.

The machine was installed in February and has a motor of 55kw, using the Presona’s prepress technology.

At XPO’s Belfast site, the baler will be compacting 9,500 tonnes of card and 700 tonnes of plastic a year.

Derek Payne, XPO Belfast site manager said: “There are Presona balers at work in other XPO sites and we know they’re reliable and robust. We can trust them to do the job day in and day out with little intervention. That’s important for us and will allow us to increase our operation further.”
