The Challenge
ABC Waste Recyclers was struggling with slow processing and inconsistent bale quality from bulk deliveries of aluminium, copper, and other valuable metals. Their existing equipment couldn’t create uniform, high-density bales, resulting in inefficient transport and lower resale value.
A solution was needed to maximise bale density, boost operational efficiency, and reduce handling time.
01
ABC Waste Recyclers, a leading player in non-ferrous metals recycling, was facing increasing operational costs and logistical challenges. With aluminium, copper, and other valuable metals arriving in bulk, the company needed a solution that would:
- Maximise bale density
- Enhance resale value
- Increase operational efficiency
- Minimise handling time
They needed, aluminium, copper, and mixed non-ferrous metals that are compacted into dense, easy- to-handle bales — boosting resale value, slashing transport costs, and improving overall site efficiency.

The Solution
01
CK International TR82
ABC Waste Recyclers invested in the CK International TR82 Twin Ram Baler – a robust, high-performance machine engineered specifically for the demanding requirements ofnon- ferrous material processing. Designed to handle metals such as aluminium, copper, and brass, the TR82 delivers maximum compaction force and high-density bales, ensuring optimal payloads and increased revenue from every shipment. Built with heavy-duty components and wear-resistant materials, the TR82 stands up to the abrasive nature of non-ferrous waste. Its intelligent control system and fully automatic operation improve efficiency and safety, reducing downtime and labour costs.

The Results
Since the installation of the TR82, ABC Waste Recyclers has achieved:
- Increase in bale density
- Reduction in transport costs
- Higher resale premiums
- Streamlined operations
The investment in CK International’s technology has helped ABC Waste Recyclers stay competitive, maximise profits, and meet growing market demands for premium non-ferrous material.
The Benefits
