James Cropper Saves Energy and Cost With New Presona Installation

As part of our continued investment in our facilities at James Cropper, we have upgraded our in-house paper baling operation with the installation of a new Presona baler to improve process efficiency.

Presona is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of balers and therefore the fit was a natural one when it came to the replacement of our baling assets.

Presona were able to meet our specific criteria to implement lower impact manufacturing techniques and save energy – these incremental improvements to working more efficiently are an essential part of any business looking to drive a more sustainable way of working that will make a real and lasting difference.

The baler was specified by the James Cropper team to include the frequency inverter that complements Presona’s energy saving prepress and the idle mode – features on the Presona baler that make it up to 60% more energy efficient than conventional and traditionally used shear balers.

Our new Presona baler will have the capacity to bale almost 50,000 tonnes of material each year, all of which is recycled fibre back into sustainable product solutions for a circular economy.

“ According to our calculations, the energy saving results are already beginning to prove the efficiencies of a Presona baler. We are pleased with investment which is very much aligned to the over-arching sustainability commitments of our business ”
