Horizontal Balers
High-capacity horizontal balers designed for industrial operations with significant waste volume. Ideal for distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and recycling plants.
About Horizontal Balers
Horizontal balers represent the pinnacle of waste compaction technology, designed for high-volume operations where efficiency and throughput are paramount. These powerful machines compress material horizontally, allowing for continuous feeding and maximum productivity in demanding industrial environments.
Key Benefits:
High Throughput
Process large volumes of material efficiently with continuous feed operation.
Compaction Power
Superior compression force creates denser bales with maximum weight.
Automation
Automatic bale ejection and PLC controls for minimal operator intervention.
Versatile
Handle a wide range of materials including cardboard, plastic, paper, and non-ferrous metals.
Ideal For:
- Distribution centers and fulfillment operations
- Manufacturing facilities with high waste output
- Recycling centers and material recovery facilities
- Paper mills and packaging plants
- Large retail chains with centralized waste management

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the space requirements for a horizontal baler?
Horizontal balers require significantly more floor space than vertical models. Depending on the model, you'll need approximately 20' x 10' of floor space at minimum, with adequate clearance for loading and maintenance access. Our team will conduct a thorough site assessment to ensure proper fit.
How do horizontal balers compare to vertical balers?
Horizontal balers offer higher throughput capacity, greater compaction force, and continuous feed operation, making them ideal for high-volume applications. Vertical balers are more space-efficient and cost-effective for lower volume operations. Horizontal balers typically produce heavier, mill-grade bales that may command better recycling prices.
What power and infrastructure requirements are needed?
Horizontal balers require 460V three-phase power and may need 100+ amp service depending on the model. They also require a concrete pad of sufficient thickness to support the machine's weight. Our installation team will provide detailed specifications and can help coordinate with your facilities team or contractors as needed.
What maintenance is required for horizontal balers?
Regular maintenance includes hydraulic system checks, lubrication of moving parts, inspection of wire ties or strapping mechanisms, and cleaning of feed areas. Our rental packages include scheduled maintenance performed by our certified technicians, ensuring your baler operates at peak efficiency throughout the rental period.
