Which Roll Packer Should I Choose?
When it comes to managing bulky waste efficiently, roll packers are an excellent solution. By compacting waste directly in open containers, they help reduce volume, lower waste collection costs, and improve operational efficiency. But with various roll packers on the market, including new electric models, it’s essential to choose the right one for your business’s needs. Bergmann Direct offers a range of roll packers, each suited to different operational environments. Here’s a breakdown of the options and how to decide which is best for you.
1. Static Roll Packers
Best for: Single container use
If you primarily use a single waste container, the Static Roll Packer is a highly effective and straightforward solution. It is fixed in place and designed to compact waste in a single container. The machine’s powerful rolling drum can reduce waste volume by up to 80%, making it ideal for businesses that produce large quantities of bulky materials like pallets, cardboard, and wooden crates.
This option is cost-effective for operations that don’t need the flexibility of moving between multiple containers. Once installed, the Static Roll Packer delivers reliable and powerful compaction for waste contained in one spot.
2. Traversing Roll Packers
Best for: Containers arranged in a row
For businesses that need to manage several waste containers but have them arranged in a row, the Traversing Roll Packer is a great choice. This machine is mounted on a track system and can travel along multiple containers, compacting waste as it moves. It offers the efficiency of a static unit but with added flexibility, as it can service up to ten containers at a time.
If your site has multiple containers that are close together, the Traversing Roll Packer helps minimise the need for additional equipment while offering the same high level of compaction power.
3. Mobile Roll Packers
Best for: Flexibility across large sites
If you need the freedom to compact waste in various locations across a large site, the Mobile Roll Packer is the most versatile option. Mounted on wheels, this unit can be easily moved between containers, offering businesses the flexibility to compact waste across different areas without the need for multiple machines.
It’s especially useful for sites like HWRC's, retail parks, warehouses, or factories, where waste is produced in several locations. The Mobile Roll Packer maximises waste volume efficiency without being tied to a specific track or location.
The New Electric Roll Packer Models
Bergmann Direct has recently launched electric versions of both the Mobile, Traversing and Static Roll Packers. These new electric models offer the same powerful waste compaction as their diesel/hydraulic counterparts but with improved environmental performance and lower operating costs. They are quieter, produce zero emissions, and require less maintenance, making them ideal for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance sustainability efforts.
