The general differences between vertical and horizontal balers stem from their operational methods.

Vertical balers use downward pressure to compact waste. The materials are placed into the chamber, and the top pressing plate moves downward, forming a bale of cardboard or plastic. After the process is finished, the bales are ejected from the vertical chamber onto a platform or pallet.

Horizontal balers, on the other hand, process waste differently. Waste materials are fed through a loading hopper, and the pressing plate moves horizontally, creating the bale through a sideways-directed force. The formed bales are secured with wire and pushed out of the machine onto guides.

Both types of balers can handle similar materials in terms of type and quantity of processed waste. Horizontal balers, however, can typically work with larger bales and process greater quantities of waste throughout the day. Additionally, horizontal balers are often integrated with conveyor belts, shredders, and pneumatic systems, facilitating operations and reducing the need for manual handling by staff.

Vertical balers take up less space, making them more flexible in terms of installation location.

Choosing the right baler model is crucial and involves considering the type and quantity of generated waste, as well as the available spatial options. The experts can advise on the best solution tailored to your company’s needs.

Horizontal balers are used to compact various materials, including cardboard, paper, and shredded PET plastic.

The size of the bales in horizontally positioned balers primarily depends on the size of the specific model of the baler and the type of materials being compacted. For the smallest models of horizontal balers, bales can typically range from 400 to 600 kg, while for larger models, this range can go from 600 to 1000 kg.

Generally, the heaviest bales are formed from plastic waste, while the lightest ones come from cardboard and paper.

We offer various options for filling horizontal-channel balers, tailored to individual needs, such as: side loading, rear loading, and top loading. We offer both manual and automatic filling options for the baler

For detailed information about available filling options, we encourage you to contact our sales team.

For cardboard and film, a compaction ratio of up to 10:1.

Operating the baler is relatively straightforward, but proper training on correct usage is necessary. Designating one employee as the ‘primary caretaker’ to oversee the baler’s operation is recommended. This ‘primary caretaker’ can train other staff members, monitor equipment use, and prevent accidents or damages. Additionally, it should undergo regular servicing and maintenance

The pressing cycle refers to the time from initiating the press to its return to the initial position, allowing for refilling the chamber with waste. The length of this cycle can vary depending on the type of equipment and may last up to 26 seconds.
