Cardboard is by far the most common material compacted in Orwak balers, but our compaction equipment is versatile and deals effectively with a wide variety of other recyclables and waste types.
The Orwak sales and service teams run tests with odd types of material and provide demos for the customers to feel safe choosing the proposed compaction solution when seeing the convincing results. A recent example is when the Orwak representative SULO Chile conducted a successful compaction test for one of its clients, Codelpa.
Codelpa Chile (Colores del Pacífico) is a company with over 90 years of experience, bringing together Chile’s leading paint and coating brands. Its company mission is to “Beautify and Protect through Color,” delivering quality products that meet the needs of its customers, who every day create spaces, inspire, decorate, and transform their dreams into major architectural, design, industrial and marine projects. “Let’s continue painting the future together” is Codelpa’s customer promise.

SULO Chile wants to support Coldepa in achieving the waste management goals by supplying an effective compaction and baling solution for empty paint cans. The cans were successfully compacted in the classic high capacity Orwak baler POWER 3420. The baler provides a high compaction ratio, and the 4-fold strapping enables a firm and tight grip of the bale.
The SULO team firmly believes in working closely with the clients on site, thoroughly understanding their needs and the type of waste they manage. This is the best way to ensure that the baler is the optimal solution for this type of material and for improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the operations.
Orwak and our sales & service teams around the world share the same commitment to provide technical advice, real-world testing, and customized solutions.
