How we prepare a used baler or compactor

Refurbishment procedure for used balers and compactors at Mil-tek

1. Mechanical inspection

The machine undergoes a thorough inspection and technical review carried out by our experienced, trained technicians. Every component is carefully assessed to determine whether the machine meets the requirements for resale as used equipment, or whether it should be retired and scrapped. Only machines that meet our quality standards and are assessed as technically sound proceed to the refurbishment and preparation process.

2. Replacing faulty parts

Based on the thorough inspection, any faulty or worn components are replaced with genuine new parts. The machine also undergoes a comprehensive clean and preparation, and any cosmetic damage is repaired, so it looks and performs in the best possible condition.

3. Safety and functionality testing

The machine then undergoes comprehensive safety and functionality testing, with every process run and verified multiple times. Only once all test cycles have been completed and passed is the machine classified as ready for sale.

Used baler categories

Used Cardboard Balers

Looking for an affordable way to manage cardboard waste?

A reliable, cost-effective choice for retailers, warehouses and manufacturers.

Used Plastic Balers

A used plastic baler compresses plastic film, packaging and other plastic waste into manageable bales ready for recycling. It reduces waste volume, frees up floor space, and turns plastic waste into a resource rather than a cost.

Used Waste Compactors

A used mixed waste compactor is perfect for businesses generating mixed waste. By compacting waste on-site, it reduces the number of bin collections needed, saving both time and money. A dependable, budget-friendly solution for efficient waste management.
