Key Consumables and Accessories for Balers & Compactors

Balers and compactors are excellent additions to your waste management and collection processes. However, to get the best results, it’s essential to invest in the right accessories and consumables.

From baling wire and plastic wrap to compactor bags, these consumables are vital for functionality, efficiency and safety so you can maximise ROI from your equipment.

What accessories and consumables do you need for your baler or compactor?

Our waste equipment accessories ensure your recycling is handled safely and reduces contamination for better resale value. Whether you use a vertical or horizontal baler or a static or portable compactor, these essential consumables can help you make the most of your business waste.

Baling strapping, wire, and twine

The right strapping, the correct strength of twine, and robust baler wire can help secure your bales for safer operations. 

As a general rule, larger or ‘mill size’ bales require strong and durable baling wire to keep them secure in transit. For smaller bales produced by vertical balers, strapping and twine tend to be suitable. Just make sure the tying medium you choose is waterproof and rot-resistant. 

It’s also important to select the right gauge of wire or thickness of twine to reduce baling jams and prevent potential breakages. Get it wrong, and you could face costly downtime while reordering consumables. 

Ordering our multipack baler spares means you’ll never run out of the consumables you need.

Baler plastic wrap or film

Large-scale operations that generate high volumes of recycling will require baler wrap to protect the bales.

Shrink wrap is also essential if your bales are stored on pallets before recycling. Without it, bales can topple over or become unbalanced, resulting in safety issues.

Compactor bags and sacks

Plastic waste bags are an essential accessory for bag and bin compactors. We supply clear and black compactor sacks to try before you buy. While these are designed for use with phs Wastekit compactors, they are also compatible with other.

Using a compactor significantly reduces the amount of waste and waste bags that end up in landfill. Using the correct size bags and emptying on a just-in-time basis will maximise capacity to reduce your environmental impact and lower your landfill tax.

Lubricants

Oiling your equipment’s hinges and handles every few months will keep it functioning smoothly. However, there are various viscosities available. The type you choose will depend on your equipment location — indoors or outside — and your facility type. For example, if your balers and compactors are used in a space that handles food, you’ll need to ensure any oil is food-safe. 

We also recommend arranging regular servicing and maintenance to catch any mechanical issues before they escalate and extend the lifespan of your balers and compactors.

Trolleys

Bale trolleys can assist with more efficient transportation. They make moving bales from one space to another quicker, easier, and safer. Our Silver Bale Trolley is ideal for quick and easy manual handling of small bales. Not only can you effortlessly wheel bales away from your vertical baler, but it doubles as an all-purpose trolley that can help you lift waste bags without injury.
