Baler manufacturer Riverside Waste Machinery has introduced a new machine into its range, designed specifically for size-constrained client sites.
The RWM 300LH is so-called because the robust machine is ideal for ‘low height’ spaces. At less than two metres tall it is much shorter than the majority of its medium-sized counterparts, but this does not impact on the equipment’s technical specification.
Capable of handling cardboard, plastic film and paper – to name just a few recycling applications – the RWM 300LH has a 20-tonne press force and can produce bales of up to 300 kilogrammes in weight. A loading aperture of 600 x 1200 x 800mm still allows for the easy in-feed of materials, and automatic compaction cycles then ensure operational simplicity and auto-bale ejection.
Commenting on the importance of this CE-certified machine, Riverside’s Managing Director Jonathan Oldfield said: “Whilst distribution centres and factories are typically quite generous in size, we are increasingly supplying balers to an ever-more diverse range of customers. Prisons, hotels, hospitals and manufacturers all want to use our technology, but sometimes they struggle for the space to position the equipment.
“This doesn’t mean they should have to settle for a compact baler that may not completely fulfil their needs, just because they have a low ceiling. So we’ve thought carefully about our range and introduced this robust machine to deliver big recycling capabilities even in the tightest of spaces.”
Other features of the RWM 300LH include distance and pressure sensors which trigger the ‘bale full’ light, an open-door bale tie off, 45 second cycle time and compatibility with both baler twine and tape. The machine is supplied with a 12 month parts and labour warranty, operator training and optional service and maintenance packages. It is available to purchase outright or to hire.
“In the modern business environment, it’s all about offering clients choice,” elaborated Oldfield. “Organisations should no longer be expected to adapt to technology – suppliers need to offer machinery that meets their requirements.”

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
