Searching for paper profits
Article Abstract:
Balers should possess three basic qualities, namely, efficiency, high throughput and dependability to be appealing to paper processors. Paper mills are looking for cheap materials and since material is often not shipped by weight but by space, then making the bales as dense as possible is best. The more that the bale weighs equates to lower costs for paper mills. Also, the heavier the bales, the better they are for shipping and handling at the mills.
