Horizontal Balers
Semi-automatic horizontal balers are used by businesses that generate very high volumes of recyclable waste and need a machine that can process material quickly and consistently. They’re commonly found in warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing sites and larger retail operations where cardboard or plastic is produced throughout the day. At Landfill Alternatives, we supply horizontal balers on both a sale and lease basis.

High-Throughput Waste Balers
Semi-automatic horizontal balers are the gold standard for businesses generating high volumes of recyclable waste. Designed for speed and consistency, these machines are essential in warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing sites where cardboard or plastic waste is produced throughout the day. At Landfill Alternatives, we supply horizontal balers with compaction forces up to 60 tonnes on both a sale and lease basis, allowing you to compact bulk waste as it's produced rather than letting loose material build up.
Horizontal balers are designed for high-throughput applications where recyclable material needs to be processed on an ongoing basis. Our range is capable of processing up to 3 tonnes of material per hour. Waste can be fed into the baler manually, using bin tippers or forklifts, or via a conveyor system, depending on the setup and volumes involved.
Material is compacted by a horizontal ram into dense, consistent bales that are tied off using baler wire. Once completed, it’s pushed out of the machine, and the next bale begins.
For businesses handling high-volume waste, the transition to a horizontal setup is driven by the significant increase in recycling rebates that mill-size bales provide.

Horizontal vs Vertical Balers: Which is Right for You?
The main difference between horizontal and vertical balers comes down to waste volumes and how material is loaded. Horizontal balers are typically used where volumes are very high and continuous or frequent feeding is required. Where waste volumes are lower or material is loaded in batches, a vertical baler is often sufficient.
If you’re unsure which type of baler suits your site, we can look at how waste is produced and handled and advise from there.
