Our Recycling Balers
Recycling balers are one of the most common types of waste machinery and are used by all kinds of businesses from start-ups to international organisations. With consumer demand for environmentally friendly brands growing, it is essential that you have a stable and comprehensive waste management strategy in place. Recycling machinery balers are a critical part of any waste strategy, and can be vital in helping your business keep on top of its waste disposal. No matter the size of the business, recycling balers can bring many benefits including reduced overheads, increased profits, and better-organised workspaces.
There are various types of recycling balers for sale, and these machines work by using a compaction ram with a very high force in order to compact waste materials. Many recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, and plastics can be used in recycling balers and therefore removed from landfill waste streams. Recycling machinery balers work to compact these waste materials down into solid blocks which are known as bales.
Bales produced from recycling balers can sometimes be collected for free by waste disposal companies, and in some cases it is possible to use these bales to create another revenue stream. Using a recycling baler can help keep skips and bins on premises clear and free for landfill waste only, while also encouraging recycling among your organisation. This kind of recycling machinery is particularly popular among restaurants, retail stores, supermarkets, offices, and warehouses which produce a lot of cardboard, paper, and plastic waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do recycling balers work?
Recycling machinery balers work by using an extreme force on waste material, compressing the loose items into a tight, solid bale. Recyclables are placed inside the opening of the machine, and then a press plate is used to compact the materials down and compress them together. The chamber has retainers which work to prevent the materials from expanding and ensure the bale is as compact as possible.
What materials can go in a recycling baler?
There are various types of recyclables that can go into a recycling baler, including plastic, cardboard, aluminium, and paper. Some recycling machinery balers are specialised for a specific type of material, such as cardboard balers or plastic balers.
What types of recycling balers are available?
When looking at recycling balers for sale you are likely to come across both vertical balers and horizontal balers. They each work in a similar way but with slightly different operating procedures, e.g. where the materials are put in and where the bales are formed.
Are recycling machinery balers noisy?
Some recycling machinery can be very loud and cause disruption on premises; however, the majority of recycling balers are relatively quiet. They can be used within a working environment without causing any negative impact on workers.
How much waste can a recycling baler handle?
The volume of material able to go into a recycling baler will depend on the size of the machine you have. A small model can usually produce bales around 30kg, while a large machine can handle much higher volumes.
Do recycling balers require maintenance and servicing?
Properly looking after your recycling baler can help prolong its life and ensure it is working efficiently. Like all machinery, recycling balers benefit from a regular service and continued maintenance.
