It isn’t long now till landfill tax will hit the hundreds. In April, landfill tax will increase to £102.10 per tonne, on top of this, taking site gate fees and transport into consideration –landfill is an extremely unattractive prospect for those in waste management.
Furthermore, with the EA’s recent ban on POP-contaminated waste going to landfill, instead being destroyed through RDF incineration, it might be time to contemplate investment in baling and wrapping machinery. Thus, exporting your waste as RDF for recovery at EfW plants across Europe.
Investing in baling and wrapping can reduce your transport and operating costs, increase flexibility and reliability, and provide smooth handling solutions for all waste requirements.
There are many brand options on the market today to suit different space and material types, in the past Andusia have looked at Orkel, Crosswrap and Flexus. Here, we take a closer look at what CK International have to offer.

The company’s range of equipment varies from small vertical balers and compactors to large fully automatic twin ram balers, designed specifically for baling RDF.
CK International Twin Ram Balers are ideal for use in waste transfer stations. Material can be fed into the machines using conveyor, loading shovel or selector grab. The fully automatic machines produce high density mill size bales, with bale weights of RDF up to 1.4 tonnes and are capable of processing up to 35 tonnes per hour of waste material. Streamlining bale production, multiple material crossover with no contamination and increasing profitability are the key performance indicators that CK balers deliver every time.

We don’t just sell a one size fits all, we sell a solution that fits YOUR business model. We have adapted the system to include a direct wrapping system – resulting in a reduced cost, faster throughput on your RDF, but also the ability to strap & bale other materials if required with no contamination.
