Hawkbilt fabricated a large ground-rolling round baler and
baled hay that had been laid out in a windrow on the snow that fall.
Eaglebrook takes a similar approach to
baled HDPE bottles.
He also claimed that when the Luebben baler and curing machine were used together, hay cutting, baling and curing could be done in a single day, resulting in higher-quality hay that would fetch $4 to $5 more per ton than hay
baled over two or more days.
The fibers are drawn, crimped, heat set and then
baled.
The total tons per month of material to be
baled can go a long way in determining the type of baler the recycling company should be looking for.
Keeping on top of the material being
baled makes for the most efficient work, says Williams.
Re-
baled OCC is
baled at a rate of 39 to 41 tons per hour, The weights and densities of the Sierra bales are much higher, with OCC bales weighing approximately 2,200 pounds.
Prices currently stand in the neighborhood of 17 cents per pound for
baled PET, 22 cents for natural HDPE and 12 cents for pigmented HDPE on the East Coast.
