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 and for various application areas. It is a great investment wherever volumes of cardboard packaging, paper and plastic wrapping accumulate, for example in supermarkets, retail stores, schools, hospitals, manufacturing industries and warehouses. 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.
POWERFUL COMPACTION, FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Convenient installation height, a generous bale chamber and a sliding door that opens automatically after each cycle, are qualities this baler is appreciated for. It contributes to a cleaner, safer and convenient working environment, it saves time and storage space and generates the best total waste handling economy.
Spar Market Köck – Where Efficiency Meets Environmental Awareness
Martin Köck’s Spar supermarket, a third-generation family business, located in the small community Kirchberg am Wechsel about 70 km south of Vienna, faced a challenge: managing cardboard packaging waste was tying up valuable staff resources and required an efficient solution. Interzero, the Orwak distributor in Austria, provided an Orwak Power 3420 baler. It was a recommendation backed by the positive endorsement of Spar’s Salzburg headquarters.
Installing the Orwak Power 3420 fundamentally changed how packaging waste was handled. Staff could refocus on customer service, while the baler ensured efficient, space-saving, and eco-friendly waste disposal. The compact bales not only reduced space requirements but also lowered CO₂ emissions through optimized transport.
Investing in the baler proved to be a resounding success: employee satisfaction increased, operations became more sustainable, and the store’s cleanliness improved. Martin Köck confirmed that the baler represents one of the company’s most important investments and praised the consistently positive experience with Interzero.
Another great example is a Hungarian manufacturing company, where raw materials for production arrive in multi-layer kraft paper sacks. Disposing of these used to cost a small fortune every month; meanwhile, the empty sacks took up massive amounts of warehouse space, hindered internal logistics, and created a constant burden regarding storage and extra material handling.
Orwak Hungary provided the solution, an ORWAK POWER 3420 baler. The paper sacks, which previously occupied vast amounts of space, are now stored and transported as bales weighing over 300 kg, sized to fit standard Euro-pallets. Thanks to ORWAK’s high-quality technology, the volume of the sacks has been reduced to one-twentieth of the original:
