Compact Multiple Types Of Waste
Because of the world’s limited resources and the need to protect the environment, it’s important to sort, compact, and recycle your waste. Our vertical balers make it easy to sort and compress different types of materials – while reducing volume, saving space, and streamlining logistics.
Below are the most common types of waste that can be compacted in a Bramidan baler:
Cardboard
Paper
Soft Plastic
Hard Plastic
PET bottles
Tin Cans
Aluminum Cans
EPS
Foam
Textile
Choose Your Baler Based on Waste Type and Quantity
The right baler depends on both the type and amount of waste you handle. Each machine produces bales in a specific size, which varies depending on the density and composition of the material.
For larger volumes of waste, it may be worthwhile to choose a high-capacity model – both to reduce manual workload and to get the most out of the material’s resale value. However, in many cases, smaller bales are just as practical, especially for lighter materials or limited space.
In addition to generating revenue from recyclable materials, baling also offers benefits such as:
- less time spent on cleaning up
- better use of storage space
- reduced CO2 emissions
- increased safety and improved workflows
The type of material you want to compact also matters. For example, bags and film rarely require large bales to retain their recycling value, while materials such as cardboard and PET are well-suited for larger, tightly packed bales.
User-friendly design and flexible integration into your operations
When you invest in a vertical baler, it needs to fit not only the volume and type of waste – it must also integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow. That’s why all Bramidan machines are designed with a focus on user-friendly operation, flexible installation, and minimal maintenance.
Our balers can be placed directly where the waste is generated – such as in back rooms, at receiving docks, or near the production line. The compact design makes it easy to find space, and the intuitive controls ensure that employees can quickly learn to use the machine safely and efficiently.
With features like automatic start, bale full indicator, and easy bale ejection, you save time on daily operations and reduce the risk of operational errors. If you need monitoring or data insights, you can add BRA-IN and get real-time data, notifications, and remote support – all in one place.
Low Noise Levels Contribute to a Better Work Environment
Noise levels during daily operation play a key role in the work environment – especially when the machine is located near employees in warehouse or retail areas. Many balers typically operate at 70–80 dB, similar to the noise of a busy street, which can be harmful over time.
Bramidan balers are engineered with a strong focus on noise reduction and run at a significantly lower sound level. A difference of just 10 dB is noticeable – it’s like going from traffic noise to a quiet office. This adds calm and comfort to the daily routine and improves the working conditions for your staff.
Choose the Right Door Type for Your Needs
The type of door you choose greatly affects how the machine works in your daily operations – especially when space is tight or waste needs to be loaded quickly and frequently. That’s why we offer several door types for our vertical balers.
Some doors save space by opening sideways or upward, while others are designed for quick and easy operation in fast-paced environments. Choosing the right door type from the start gives you a solution that fits both your waste materials and workflow.
Below, you can see the door types we offer.
The SD-door is always open, which makes it easy to throw waste into the chamber at any time. The sSemi-Automatic door is used for the following models: B6030 & B7242 SD

Most Common Questions & Answers
Yes. We offer a free trial which allows you to try out the machine in your facility.
If you decide not to keep the machine at the end of the trial period, the only expense you are responsible for is return freight to one of our warehouses.
The weight and size of a finished bale depends on the size of the machine and the waste type.
Our small footprint vertical balers, like the B3 and B4 models, make smaller easy-to-handle bales. Finished bales made in one of these machines weigh between 66 – 220 lbs. for cardboard and 88 – 286 lbs. for plastic. Using a bale cart, the bales can be easily moved around your facility for storage or pickup.
Our medium size balers make a heavier bale that can be ejected and stored on a standard pallet. Finished bales weigh between 440 -772 lbs. for cardboard and 550 – 992 lbs. for plastic. Using a pallet jack or forklift, the bales can be easily transported.
Our large balers, like the B6030 and X30 HD models, make bales that are as heavy as Large Size Balers compact bales as heavy as 825 – 1,200 lbs. for cardboard and 880 – 1,300 lbs. for plastic. View the finished bale size dimensions of our balers under Product Specifications.
A vertical baler is a machine that reduces the overall volume of your loose waste material by making a compact and tight bundle called a bale.
Using the filling opening, you can easily toss your loose cardboard or soft plastic into the baler. A press plate uses extreme force to compress the material by pushing downward. The material remains compacted due to the retainer dogs inside of the chamber of the baler.
Continue to throw material into the baler until you have compacted enough waste for a full bale. Then, the finished bale is manually tied off with polyblend strapping or wire. The size and weight of the finished bale are determined by the size of your baler.
The finished bales take up a limited amount of space and are easy to move. Baling your waste material offers you an easy solution for waste disposal.

With BRA-IN you can:
- Control your entire fleet of machines
- Receive a text message or email when there is a full bale
- Advise your recycler directly when a bale is ready for pickup
- Track the number of bales made over time
- Save time and money with remote service and troubleshooting
- Calculate the total cost of ownership
Assess the physical space in your facility and ensure there is enough room for the baler and for safely moving the bales. Depending on your waste volume, your company may need a larger machine which in turn, requires more space.
We’re happy to advise you based on your facility’s available space.
