How RME Installs Your Baler: The Process Explained
Installing a commercial baler is a significant step, and businesses naturally want to understand what the process involves. RME handles the entire installation from start to finish, you don't need to source equipment, manage logistics, or train your team alone. Here's exactly what happens when RME sets up your baler.
Step 1: The Assessment
Everything starts with an onsite assessment. RME reviews your current waste setup, containers, pickup schedule, costs, material types, and volumes. We determine whether a baler makes financial sense and what size and type of equipment fits your operation. This is covered in detail in how our system works.
Step 2: Equipment Selection
Based on the assessment, RME recommends the right baler for your volume and material types. A small retail store might need a compact vertical baler; a manufacturing plant might require a horizontal baler. The selection considers your space, power availability, and labor capacity. See materials we recycle for what the equipment will handle.
Step 3: Installation
RME handles delivery and installation of the baler at your facility. We position the equipment for optimal workflow, connect power as needed, and ensure the baler is ready for operation. Installation is coordinated to minimize disruption to your operations.
Step 4: Team Training
Once installed, RME trains your team on safe operation. This covers loading techniques, cycle operation, bale tying and removal, material acceptance (what can and can't be baled), and safety protocols. Proper training ensures your team uses the equipment efficiently and safely. See our how our system works for how training fits the broader process.
The OSHA machine guarding standards inform the safety training we provide.
Step 5: Ongoing Service
After installation, RME provides ongoing pickup service, maintenance guidance, and data reporting. You bale material as you work, call for pickup when ready, and receive tracking data on every haul. See our success stories for how this works in practice.
