Horizontal Balers
Horizontal baler for large waste volumes – high capacity, low resource consumption
The machine quickly and efficiently compresses high volumes of materials such as cardboard, plastic, cans, and industrial waste – forming dense, uniform bales that are easy to handle, store, and transport.
When waste volumes exceed the capacity of a vertical baler, a horizontal model is often the obvious choice. For daily amounts exceeding 2 tons – especially where waste is fed into the machine via conveyor belt, tipping wagon, or other automated solutions – a horizontal baler offers significant advantages.
Although these machines require more space, investment, and training than vertical models, they significantly reduce manual labor, streamline operations, and contribute to more efficient and organized waste handling.

Benefits of a Horizontal Baler
- Optimized space utilization: By compressing the waste into compact, uniform bales, significant space is freed up in storage areas and on ramps. This provides more room for operations and logistics.
- Time-saving operation: Automatic feeding via conveyor belts and short cycle times minimize the need for manual handling. It frees up time and resources for other tasks, increasing overall efficiency.
- Lower transport costs: High compaction reduces the number of collections and transport trips. This results in noticeable savings in both logistics and waste disposal.
- Improved working environment: Automation and reduced handling of loose waste create more orderly conditions, fewer heavy lifts, and less clutter – benefiting both safety and well-being.
- Easy integration: The machine can easily be adapted to your existing waste flow and placed against a wall, in production areas, or in combination with other equipment – without the need for major structural changes.
- Stable and consistent bale quality: The horizontal balers produce bales with high density and uniform size. This makes them easy to stack, store, and handle – while also increasing their resale value for recycling.

Most Common Questions & Answers
The size of the bales depends on the channel baler. Have look at the product specifications here. Bale weights vary depending on channel baler model and material. Expect bale weights between 440 and 660 lbs in the smallest model and 770 and 990 lbs in the largest model.
In general, plastic gives the heaviest bales and cardboard and paper the lightest bales.
Vertical balers are compact, cost-effective, and well-suited for manual workflows and moderate volumes of waste such as cardboard and plastic. They compress material from the top down and take up minimal space, making them easier to place and install—especially in smaller businesses or locations with limited room.
Horizontal balers are designed to handle larger volumes of waste and offer a higher degree of automation. They compress material from the side and can be integrated with conveyors, shredders, and other automated systems. This reduces the need for manual labor and increases operational efficiency. However, they require more space and a higher investment.
The horizontal baler can be placed both indoors and outdoors. The machine requires a solid foundation e.g. concrete or pavement that can support the weight.
If you place the baler outside, we recommend that you place it under a roof to protect it from wear and tear.
Our sales consultant will help you identify the best place to install your baler.
The type of waste handling equipment you need depends on a number of different factors: The amount of waste you generate on a daily basis, as well as the waste type. Another factor to consider is the amount of space you have in your facility.
The right waste solution should be tailored to your company’s structure and internal work processes to ensure a perfect fit.
