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

POWERFUL COMPACTION WITH RESULTS – WHEREVER PACKAGING WASTE PILE UP
ORWAK POWER 3420 is a versatile high-capacity baler that takes on the waste compaction challenge and gets the job done in a wide range of environments. It is a great investment wherever volumes of cardboard packaging, paper and plastic wrapping accumulate!

Two recent success stories, the installation at convenience store Spar Markt Köck in Austria and paper sack compaction in a factory in Hungary, exemplify the successful combination of operational efficiency and sustainability.

When Interzero Austria installed the Power baler, it fundamentally changed Spar Markt Köck's cardboard handling. Staff can focus on customer service, while the baler ensures efficient, space-saving, and eco-friendly waste disposal. The customer: "The baler represents one of the company’s most important investments!"

The factory in Hungary receives raw materials in multi-layer kraft paper sacks, which are now compacted in a POWER 3420 delivered by ORWAK - Bálázógépek és hulladékprések. The sacs, previously occupying a lot of space, are now stored and transported as bales sized to fit standard Euro-pallets. The baler reduces the sacks to one-twentieth of the original!

Today, Sweden marks Återvinningens dag! ♻️
Since 2008, September 29 has been a day to put some extra focus on recycling and reuse. A lot has changed since then, but how we handle what we throw away, and how more materials can be used again, is just as relevant today.

So today, recycling gets a little extra attention! 🌍🧡
