    Remarkably Low Noise Level
    Most balers run at around 70-80 dB. At that level they can be harmful. People do not think to wear ear protection while running a baler, and with our baler you never have to, as we have mitigated the noise.
    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.

    FAQ
    VERTICAL BALER B7242 SD
    Most Common Questions & Answers
    Is it possible to tie the bales with wires instead of polyester strapping?
    Yes, most of our balers accommodate baling wire. However, our smaller models can only be used with strapping.
    What Is the Biggest Difference Between Vertical and Horizontal Balers?

    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.

    How much noise does a baler make?

    All of our balers are usually very quiet and can be placed in a variety of work environments without causing a disturbance.

    Our B-series vertical balers have a very low noise level that never exceeds 57 – 68 decibels. The noise is comparable to that of a vacuum cleaner or air conditioning system.

    Our X-series vertical balers have an even lower noise level that does not exceed 59 decibels. The noise is equivalent to conversational speech.

    Can your machine weigh the bales for me?

    No, our balers do not have a built-in scale. However, the bale size and weight do not fluctuate by much and will usually be the same.

    Our BRA-IN monitoring solution allows you to view the average weight and number of bales made in your baler each week and/or month. You can also create reports for recycling compliance.

    Is the surface of your balers durable?
    All of our balers receive a high-quality, anti-rust treatment to strengthen and protect the surfaces, as well as flaking paint.
    Do you supply vertical balers that achieve minimum 400 kilo bales?

    Yes, we do. Our 60” baler, the B6030, makes bales that meet standard mill-size dimensions and weight specifications. Finished bales weigh 800 – 1,300 lbs., depending on the material.

    The low-profile design allows the baler to fit an 8 foot dock door standing up. Once the cylinders are raised, it can be installed and operated under an 11 foot ceiling.
