Maintenance tips for your waste balers and compactors

Cleaning and checks to be carried out :

• Daily cleaning of the upper part of the compaction plate.
• Weekly check of safety devices (e.g. emergency stop test).
• Weekly visual check of the general condition of the machine to detect any breakages or anticipate breakdowns (oil on the ground, mechanical breakage, cracks in the frame, etc.).
• Weekly general cleaning.

About using the machine :

• Do not load waste that is not compatible with the machine, only cardboard and plastic if the machine is set up for this use.
• Make sure that the waste is loaded evenly, and avoid inserting blocks of cardboard that are too thick, which could block the cut and/or create jams.

At least once a week, carry out the following checks and cleaning to ensure optimum use of the machine:

• Check the safety devices (emergency stop, protective grilles, etc.).
• Clean the cylinder chamber through the dedicated trapdoor, moving the piston to the front position to prevent breakage and malfunctions. You must lock the press to carry out this operation.
• Cleaning the twisting block: remove all wire residue to avoid binding defects.
• Cleaning under the needles (daily) to prevent breakage + checking that the needles pass through the plunger. Check that the grooves are clear. If there are any obstructions, lock up your press and clean it.
• Check that there are 4 spools of wire for perfect binding.
• Carry out a general visual check (leaks, breakage, condition of hoses, etc.).
• General cleaning of the frame - do not store anything on the frame that could interfere with the technician's work.
• If your baler is not equipped with an end-of-bale cell, be sure to remove the bales.
• If your baler is fitted with a container lifter, release the up/down control as soon as the machine has reached the stop. Forcing the control can damage the equipment.
