Waste Balers

Vertical Balers

We sell and lease a large range of Vertical Balers.  These machines enable your business to extract, compact and recycle cardboard, paper, plastic and more from your waste stream. This allows you to reduce disposal costs and send less waste to landfill.

Vertical balers are hand-fed machines that create a bale size between 25-600kgs (mill-size) depending on your material.

The material is hand-fed through the top door until full and then at a push of a button the ram plate compacts the waste towards the floor and returns to the top. These steps are repeated until a full-sized bale is created. You then tie off the bale using strapping or metal wire. Depending on the machine the bale is ejected using a trolley or a semi-automatic eject system.

Not Sure If You Need a Vertical or Horizontal Baler?

Vertical Balers have a small footprint which makes them more suitable when space is limited.  Our smaller models with less throughput are therefore a great option for smaller businesses who don’t generate a lot of waste but are still looking to recycle.  Horizontal Balers are a more autonomous machine and are more suited to larger scale operations.  They allow for continuous feeding of waste, thus achieving a much superior throughput.

Horizontal Balers

Horizontal balers are a more autonomous machine that creates bale size between 450-1000kgs depending on your material.

The material is fed into a hopper through a bin tipper, conveyor, forklift tipping skip, or other ways depending on your setup. The machine starts up automatically by using a laser eye. Once the laser eye has been cut, the ram from the side compacts the material until a bale is created. You then tie off the bale vertically or horizontally (dependent on the model) before the machine ejects the bale. We have manual and automatic tie machines, and semi-automatic and fully automatic eject machines for sale & lease hire.
