Our Flap Door is specially developed for handling PET bottles.

The Flap Door works just like a chute for the bottles and makes it easy to throw bottles directly into the baler either separately or in full sacks.

We offer a door solution that does not swing outwards. To allow more direct access to the chamber from all sides and provide more space around the baler, we have designed a manual vertical door that opens upwards on our B-series machines.

This door option is designed for sites with a narrow, limited amount of space.

The main difference between the two baler types is the direction of their press stroke.

Vertical balers compress waste materials with a vertical downward force. Waste materials are thrown into a chamber and a press plate moves from the top of the chamber towards the bottom. When a cardboard bale or plastic bale has been made, it is tipped out of the vertical chamber onto a pallet.

Horizontal balers process waste differently than vertical balers. Recyclable waste is thrown into a hopper, and a platen from the side compresses the material with a horizontal force until a bale is complete. The bale is then tied off with wires and pushed out of the machine on two guide rails.

With regard to waste types and volumes handled in vertical balers vs. horizontal balers, they can process many of the same waste materials. Horizontal balers can compact larger bales and a higher volume per day than vertical balers. Furthermore, horizontal balers can be used with in-ground or above-ground conveyor belts, shredders, and air systems. Such applications provide convenience for the consumer and often require less manpower to operate.

But vertical balers take up far less space than horizontal balers, which allows them to be easily used in wider variety of applications than horizontal balers.

When choosing the proper baler, there are several questions to answer. Contact our specialists – they are ready to help you find the type of baler that will best suit the needs of your individual business.

Yes, our X-series balers are perfect for compacting aluminum waste. These models are designed with X-shaped internal cylinders that create a very high press force. As a result, you are left with a very tight bale that is compacted during the first press cycle.

We recommend our X30 HD and X50 HD balers if you are planning on baling aluminum waste. To keep the bale stable, we suggest laying a piece of cardboard on both the top and bottom prior to compacting. Another option is to cover the finished bale with shrink wrap.

Yes, you can bale cans and other light metal waste (ie. aluminum) in a baler.

To bale cans, you will need a machine with a high press force that will compact the material during the first press cycle. With cross cylinders and long cylinder strokes, our X-series balers are designed for compacting cans and other heavy duty materials.

For a tight and stable bale, we suggest layering a piece of cardboard on both the top and bottom of the finished bale. Another option is to cover the finished bale in shrink wrap.
