Horizontal vs. Vertical Balers
Different Machinery for Different Needs
The main challenges are not only the costs associated with waste disposal, but also the need to designate a place for storage and subsequent transport.
Several industries produce a significantly larger amounts of waste than others: manufacturing plants, hotels, restaurants, warehouses and distribution centers, to name a few.
The ideal way to reduce the volume of waste is to compress it using either vertical or horizontal balers.
Compacted bales have a standard shape, which facilitates maximum use of the loading space in a truck, leading to optimized transport. Their compacted form reduces the amount of space required for waste storage in a company. In addition, a number of technological features used in the machines improve daily waste handling.
Horizontal Balers
This type of baler is mainly used in larger processing and industrial plants, as well as large logistics and distribution centers. A horizontal waste baler can be used to compress paper or cardboard, as well as plastic wrap. These balers have a low, long design and a wide feed opening, which facilitates easy and continous loading into the chamber.
Horizontal Baler Main Selling Points:
- Ability to adjust working parameters in order to achieve the highest efficiency
- Continuous loading
- Press force ranging from 20 to 70 tons
- Compaction of large-sized waste fractions
- Weight of a cardboard bale from 750 lbs. to 1,300 lbs. and a plastic foil bale from 925 lbs. to 1,000 kg
- Multiple loading options (conveyor belt, pneumatic, wall loading, ramp loading, tipping system)
- Automatic bale tying
- Choice of color (optional, extra when ordering)
Vertical Balers
Vertical Balers offer a more space-conscious waste solution than horizontal balers. While unable to process the volume of horizontal balers at that speed, many companies opt for a vertical baler and horizontal baler to dynamically address their waste.
Vertical Balers can compact numerous types of waste, and are customizable to your needs.
If you choose a galvanized model, the durable, corrosion-resistant exterior address wet waste and harsh elements.
Vertical Baler Main Selling Points:
- Ease of operation and loading
- High performance – depending on the model, the press force can range from 6,614 lbs. to 110,231 lbs.
- Variety of models for different purposes – for baling cardboard, plastic shrink wrap, paper, PET bottles, aluminium and steel cans, hard plastics and textiles
- Compact versions available, ideal for places with limited space, e.g. for placing under a storage rack
- Bale weight – in the smallest models 60-132 lbs. for cardboard and 80-154 lbs. for soft plastic; while largest machines offer bales from 772-1,333 lbs. for OCC and from 882 lbs. to 1,333 lbs. for plastic
- Choice of color (special order any available RAL colour)
- Choice of door type like SD (Sliding door), VD (Vertical Door), or FD (Flap Door)
