The company, which provides waste services to the commercial, industrial and domestic sectors, has taken delivery of the baler which was manufactured by Ken Mills Engineering.
The new machine is an expansion to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) recently fitted at the site.
The Aries 115 Twin Ram Baler with cross wrap for Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and card, is fully automatic and fitted with the Accent 470 wire tie’ with a capacity of up to 20 bales per hour.
The baler has a 70 or 115 tonne pressing force and the capability to produce high density bales of up to 700kg in weight, for multiple materials including plastic bottles, cans, paper trim, cardboard, polythene sheet, textiles and foam scrap.

According to Mick George, the baler will significantly reduce storage space, and consequently improve working conditions, as well as enhancing handling convenience during the disposal process.
Neil Johnson, technical waste director at Mick George, commented: “The level to which the company has expanded in recent times is testament to the investment and efforts that have been put in. Consequently, it brings about new challenges and opportunities.
“The Baler is another statement of intent on what the business is trying to achieve in this market, and allows us to improve and differentiate our offering from competitors.”
