Vertical Balers
Why Choose a Vertical Baler?
A vertical baler is a compact machine designed to compress and bundle recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper, or plastics vertically. By compacting these materials into neat bales, vertical balers save space, simplify storage and transportation, and facilitate recycling efforts. They are essential tools for businesses looking to efficiently manage waste while maximizing cost savings and sustainability.

Choose a Small or Large Baler?
We can help you, with what you should you consider when looking for the right baler size for waste compaction.
Compact Different Waste Fractions
Because of the limited resources in the world, and in order to protect the environment, it is important to sort, compact and recycle your waste. We offer vertical balers that can be used to compact many recyclable materials. These are the main waste fractions that can be compressed in a Bramidan vertical baler:
What Volume & Type of Waste?
The volume of material will help determine the size of the baler. Each baler has a bale size that is noted in the specifications, and this may vary by material composition and density of material. Larger volumes of material usually require a larger baler. This is to reduce labor and maximize resale value of the material.
However, smaller bales can be as viable as large ones depending on your goal. Redemption value is not the only value proposition of a baler. Reducing labor, cleaning up valuable space, loss prevention, safety, etc. are all reasons to use a baler.
The type of material you are baling also matters. Bags or sacks for instance usually don’t require a larger bale size to retain their reuse or sales value. Other materials like shrink wrap are also often taken and paid for in less than large bale sizes.
Remarkably Low Noise Level
Many people miss the significance of the low noise levels you get when choosing a Bramidan baler. With the prevalence of earbuds and other devices in our ears most of the time in our leisure, hearing loss is a serious threat. What most people don’t understand about decibels is that their calculation is at a ratio. So the difference between 1 decibel and 10 is a lot in sound comparison.

FD (Flap Door)
The flap door acts as a funnel – it facilitates easy flow of waste into the baler chamber. The following balers can also be produced with a flap door: X25, X25 Galvanized, X30, X30 Galvanized, X50 and X50 Galvanized.

All of our balers are equipped with BRA-IN technology. BRA-IN is a web portal for intelligent fleet monitoring. Using a modem, machine data is collected.
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
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.
Bramidan offers a variety of different baler designs that are perfect for handling your waste.
