HORIZONTAL BALER OPTIMIZES WASTE STREAMS IN A MODERN LOGISTICS CENTER IN VILNIUS
IKI is one of the largest grocery store chains in Lithuania and one of the most recognizable brands in the country, operating over 245 stores nationwide. Over the years, Orwak’s distributor UAB Strapas has installed more than 170 vertical balers in the stores and furthermore a high-capacity horizontal baler in the IKI Lietuva logistics center in Vilnius. The fully automated horizontal baler provides an effective, profitable and sustainable packaging waste management solution well adapted to the high degree of automation in a modern logistics center.
Large volumes of packaging material, mainly cardboard and plastic film, accumulate when groceries are repacked but the horizontal baler turns 200 tons of recyclables a year into mill-size bales for recycling.
A lot can be gained by a horizontal baler investment:
✅ Automated & continuous workflow
✅ Productive use of time
✅ Significant space savings
✅ Maximize truck payloads
✅ Increased recycling rate
✅ New revenue streams when selling mill-sized bales
