Balemaster® balers put more green in your pocket.

If you are not baling your waste now, or if you are baling manually, then you’re spending too much time handling empty cardboard boxes. Balemaster® balers can do the work for you. Balemaster® wide-mouth auto-ty balers send money to your bottom line in many ways. Here are just two:

1. Conventional hand tying takes 7 to 10 minutes per bale. But Balemaster® auto-ty balers process cardboard waste into a dense bale that is automatically and securely tied in less than 30 seconds.

2. Balemaster® balers produce bales with the highest density per cubic foot.

So there’s more material per volume than any other baler. This reduces annual baling wire costs and maximizes recycling revenue per load.

Balemaster® balers are engineered to save energy, improve efficiency, reduce wire usage, and lower maintenance costs. Being green is good business. But pocketing green is even better.

Don’t crunch the numbers any other way.

Inventory control solution: Accu-Dart, a developer of integrated warehouse logistics and supply chain management solutions, has introduced its inventory control solution for Android. According to the company, mobile devices can now integrate with ERP systems in real time, giving warehouse workers flexibility, multitasking capacity, and language support.

The Android option will enable a greater range of devices for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers using radio-frequency scanners for inventory control in the warehouse setting. The Android version has the same functionality as the iOS version released last year. Warehouses can now use both operating systems in the same space.

Accu-Dart’s inventory control solution lets warehouse staff work with devices they are already familiar with, while also allowing for multiple warehouse applications to be run from the same devices to deliver flexibility and timeliness for customers and employees.

Accu-Dart integrates directly and in real time with Sage 300 ERP and AccountMate software. The solution also validates and enters data directly into the ERP system in real time for improved accuracy. (Accu-Dart, www.accu-dart.com)

Stretch-wrapping machine: Metalworking manufacturer TAB Industries LLC has introduced the TAB Wrapper Tornado line of orbital stretch-wrapping packaging machines. The machines are designed to secure a palletized load to its pallet as a single unit to improve protection, safety, stability, and confidence in handling and transportation.

The new device wraps the plastic film around a horizontal axis, allowing the pallet load to be wrapped around and attached to the pallet while raised on a forklift or continuously fed on a conveyor. In addition, it eliminates the need for turntable stretch-wrapping machines, banding, strapping, and overpack-aging, while speeding up the packaging process.

Designed to secure metal and plastic components and extrusions, filled drums and containers, bagged powders, cartons, and other products that need to remain intact through delivery, the wrappers lock standard, oversized, and irregularly shaped loads to the pallet in one minute or less, whether loose, packaged, or in combination. The line includes three standard models, but custom units are also available. Manufactured at the company’s Reading, Pa., headquarters, the machines ship fully assembled and ready to plug in and operate. (TAB Industries LLC, www.tabindustries.com)
