Horizontal and vertical balers - which one should you choose? Explore the advantages of both solutions
NOVEMBER 22, 2021
Many companies have trouble managing waste. 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. The waste solutions that resolve these are: horizontal balers and vertical balers. Find out the difference between these two types of equipment below.
Modern and up-to-date waste compression
Manufacturing plants, hotels, restaurants, warehouses and distribution centers, to name a few, generate large amounts of waste. The ideal way to reduce the volume of their waste is to compress it using modern balers.
Using this type of equipment can save a ton of money. The compacted bales have a regular 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.
With regard to their construction, the balers on the market for this purpose can be divided into:
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.
The most important features of horizontal balers include:
Vertical balers
You can compact numerous types of waste with these machines. If you choose a galvanized model, you can even use it for wet waste types with residuals. The galvanized balers are made of durable, corrosion-resistant materials, so they can operate in harsh environments.
