What materials can vertical balers handle?

Vertical balers can compact a wide variety of materials, including but not limited to:

– Plastics (e.g., plastic foil, soft plastics, hard plastics)
– PET plastics
– Paper and cardboard packaging
– Soda cans
– Metal wiring
– Fabric and textiles
– Corrugated cardboard
– Non-ferrous metals

What is the difference between a vertical baler and a horizontal baler?

Vertical balers are better suited for handling smaller waste streams in confined spaces. They take up less floor space and are perfect for businesses with moderate amounts of recyclables. Horizontal balers, on the other hand, are designed for processing large volumes of waste, making them better for industrial or high-volume applications.

How much space does a vertical baler require?

Vertical balers are designed to have a small footprint, meaning they take up less floor space but are taller. This makes them ideal for businesses that have limited space but need an efficient solution for recycling and waste management. Contact us to request a personalised quote.

What capacity of waste can vertical balers handle?

Our vertical balers come in a range of sizes, with models able to compact anywhere from 60 kg to 500 kg of recyclables at one time, depending on the model. Larger models like the EF 500 are ideal for businesses handling high volumes of waste. Contact us to request a quote.
