Waste Balers

Waste Balers are heavy-duty machines, used to compact waste materials such as cardboard and plastic into solid blocks called bales. These blocks are easily transported ready to be processed at a recycling plant.

Balers are used to compress and compact waste materials such as cardboard, paper, plastic film, and more into bales. Bales are solid blocks of material that can be easily transported and processed at a recycling plant. This process frees up space in bins and skips, reducing disposal costs and environmental impact.

Both Balers and Compactors aim to minimise the amount of space waste takes up. However, Balers typically process recyclable materials, such as cardboard and paper. Where Compactors tend to process low-value mixed waste such as general trash or food waste.

Vertical Cardboard Balers can cost anywhere between £2000 and £15,000 to purchase outright. However the price of a Baler can vary drastically, depending on the size and throughput. There are also additional costs involved with customisation. We offer affordable lease hire, if you’d wish to rent a machine and also offer refurbished machines.

Depending on your model, a recyclable material, such as; cardboard, plastic, and paper is loaded into the machine. Once the feed is full, the compaction ram will compress the material. This cycle is repeated until enough material has been compacted to produce a full bale. After that, the bale is tied off and is then ejected from the machine, ready to be collected for recycling. All of our machines are extremely safe to operate and have design features that minimise the chance of accidents occurring. In addition to this, we offer full training to ensure your workforce can operate the machinery correctly.

A Bale is a large bundle of recyclable material produced by a Baler. Bales are easily stackable and transported, therefore, reducing the space required on-site for waste storage and transport costs.  Depending on the machine and waste material, bales can weigh between 30 – 1000kg.  All of our products indicate the size of the bale that a particular machine can produce.

The majority of recyclable materials can be baled. As a result, businesses will use a Baler to compact cardboard, plastic, plastic film, paper, and rigid plastic. Heavy-duty Balers can also handle flexible metals. In addition to the common streams, we also have specialist machines that can handle niche products such as tires and mattresses.

Balers have become increasingly popular across all industries including; retail, restaurants, offices, supermarkets, and warehouses. They are typically best placed at the source of waste to minimise transportation.
