Horizontal Balers
Recycling machinery is critical for any waste disposal programme, and one of the most common types of equipment are horizontal balers. A horizontal baler machine is an industrial level machine which produces compact mill size bales for recycling. Horizontal waste balers are generally larger than vertical waste balers and better suited for businesses producing large amounts of recyclable waste.
Horizontal balers can work to compress plastic, cardboard, paper, or aluminium waste into bales ready for recycling. The waste materials are placed into the machine at one end, often by hand or by forklift or other machinery. The press plates then apply a high force to compress and compact the materials into a bale, which can then be collected and recycled by a waste disposal service. These bales are often collected free of charge or can be sold for a fee, creating a new revenue stream for many businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a horizontal waste baler is right for me?
Horizontal balers are usually a cost-effective solution for businesses that produce more than 2,000 kg of recyclable waste per day, such as plastic or cardboard.
What is a closed-end horizontal baler?
A closed-end horizontal baler is often considered an entry-level machine. They feature a closed pressing chamber and are usually smaller than open-end horizontal balers. A single ram is used to compress the waste against the closed end, and it can then be manually tied off by the operator. This kind of horizontal baler has a single-bale output.
What is an open-end horizontal baler?
An open-end horizontal baler is a heavy duty machine for handling high volumes of waste. They often come with either a single ram or double ram, depending on the model. With an open-end horizontal baler, the chamber is open, and bales are auto-tied. With an open-end horizontal baler, the entire process is automated, minimising the need for labour.
What industries are horizontal baler machines used in?
Large supermarkets, warehouses, fulfilment and distribution centres, recycling facilities, and manufacturers are all common industries to use a horizontal waste baler.
What materials can be used in a horizontal waste baler?
Horizontal baler machines can be used to compact paper, cardboard, plastics, non-ferrous metals, textiles, e-waste, and rubber into bales. The types of waste that can be placed in the equipment can vary depending on the type of machine.
What should I consider when choosing a horizontal baler machine?
Some important considerations for choosing horizontal balers include; motor power, electrical power, hydraulic pressure, feed opening, production capacity, bale size, and working cycle time.
Are operators needed for horizontal waste balers?
This depends on the type of machine you have and the set-up of your horizontal baler. You can choose turn-key horizontal baler systems which use bin tippers, conveyors, and extraction system to automate the full process and minimise the labour demand.
