Install

A Mil-tek technician will guide the installation process, which is done by connecting the 2205 baler to a compressed air supply. You are now ready to start compacting waste.

Minimize

Fill the chamber with whole cardboard boxes (open side down) or loose plastic and close the door. Once the handle is pressed down, it activates the pressing plate. Repeat until the bale-out indicator stay red for more than 15 seconds.

Bale Out

When the baler out indicator remains red, cut the banding using a safety knife. Open the lower door and tie the banding using a loop knot, and empty the baler safely. You are now ready to start a new bale!

Baled Material

Bales can be stacked and stored until you have enough to have them collected by your local recycler. A bale from a 2205 takes up no more more floor space than a broad sheet of newspaper.

What skills are required to operate a Mil-tek machine?

The Mil-tek 2205 is very straightforward to use. A qualified Mil-tek technician will train a key staff member so that he or she understands how the machine works and can in turn train other staff members. The training is simple and quick and means almost anyone can learn how to use a Mil-tek baler.
How often must the machine be serviced?

Mil-tek recommends that you have your machine serviced by a qualified Mil-tek technician on an annual basis, to ensure a long lifespan and continued reliable use.
Where should I install my Mil-tek 2205?

A Mil-tek technician will guide you in this decision. Your internal working processes and the data available on your waste streams will provide the answer, in order to best optimise your working environment.
How much noise does the machine make?

As they are air-powered rather than pneumatic, Mil-tek balers are extremely quiet. If you have an existing air-line you simply plug the machine and then your existing compressor acts as the engine. If you need to have a compressor installed, a Mil-tek technician will ensure that the compressor is placed at a distance from the machine and then install an air-hose between the compressor and the machine.

RETAIL

Ideal for baling plastic packaging typically used in the transportation and protection of clothing and consumable items. Constant pressure ensures an extremely dense bale is produced that is both easy to handle and easy to recycle. The baler can also be used to recycle smaller volumes of cardboard in small/medium supermarkets, convenience stores and general retail outlets.

HOTELS & RESTAURANTS

A constant flow of ingredients arriving in cardboard boxes can account for up to 60% of kitchen waste. The small-footprint 2205 baler fits neatly indoors or out to enable baling and recycling of cardboard and plastic. The result is a reduction in waste disposal costs, a reduction in the amount of space designated to waste and a reduction in the number of bin collections and lift frequency.

FOOD/CATERING

The 2205 baler has a door opening that is perfect for wine, spirit and food boxes. The baler can be located indoors, close to the waste source or outside if space is limited. Being air-powered, the 2205 baler can safely be placed in an area where food is prepared as there is no risk of hazardous oil spillage.
