When to explore a vertical baler
A vertical baler compresses material downwards. This format is worth considering when the installation area is limited or material is handled in smaller batches. You still need space for loading, bale removal and maintenance.
NORKAM’s NK-60 uses a published 240 V, 50 Hz supply and lists a 50 kg cardboard bale. The NK-500 uses 3 × 415 V, 50 Hz and lists a 500 kg cardboard bale. The difference between these models shows why the word “vertical” alone is not enough to size a machine.
When to explore a horizontal baler
Horizontal balers compress along the machine’s length and generally suit larger, sustained waste streams. Their layout makes the loading arrangement and the route for removing finished bales central to the installation plan.
The NORKAM semi-automatic range comprises the NK-6000L, NK-6000 and NK-7000. All list a three-phase supply. Discuss the material settings, loading process, tying and ejection arrangements for the particular model and configuration.
Compare the complete working process
Check material suitability first. Then compare electrical supply, loading access, overall dimensions and room for people and handling equipment. Confirm the size and weight of bale that your collector can accept.
Published bale weights are material-specific; moisture, preparation and operating conditions can change the result. Pressing force also does not establish throughput by itself. Ask for performance information relevant to the material you actually handle.
Prepare a useful specification conversation
Bring a simple floor plan, photographs of the waste, typical and peak quantities, your available power supply and collection arrangements. Explain whether you want to purchase or rent and whether the process is likely to grow.
Use the comparison tool to shortlist machines, then review the options with NORKAM. This turns the discussion from a category label into a machine and installation suited to your operation.
