Frequently Asked Questions
What is a horizontal baler?
Balers are industrial recycling machines that compress recyclables into smaller and easier to handle bales, across the recycling or manufacturing industry.
Horizontal balers compress recyclable waste like paper, cardboard, and plastic with a large scale pressing force horizontally. They can also be fitted with heavy-duty conveyor belts, shredders, and air systems to automate the feed-in process.
What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal baler?
Vertical and horizontal baler machines have different builds, optional extras and different ranges of waste material that they can process.
Vertical balers take up less floor space in a warehouse or recycling facility due to their build, but you might still find it hard to find a place for it depending on the height of your facilities. However, there is a limitation for the quality of bales that vertical bales can produce.
Horizontal baler machines take up more space on the floor, but less space overhead in a facility. With their long frame, many facilities opt for horizontal balers with conveyor belts to automate feeding the hopper. Horizontal balers are also perfect for producing high quality compressed bales from high volumes of recyclable waste for recycling industries.
How does a horizontal baler work?
Staff or a conveyor belt fills up a horizontal baler through the hopper. Once full, a side ram compresses the materials until a bale is made.
The bale is then tied off with wire ties and is exited out of the machine. Ready to be wrapped in plastic film or other packaging materials, transported and further processed in a recycling facility.
What horizontal baler machine is suitable for me?

*Please note that it is the responsibility of the purchaser to conduct their own assessments of baling machines to determine the suitability of the equipment for the intended use.
How much do horizontal balers cost?
A new horizontal baler machine starts at $20,000 and can cost up to $100,000.
At Waste Initiatives, we provide a range of flexible finance options to buy and rent, to help make these incredible machines more accessible.
How to maintain a baler machine?
Before you begin any cleaning or maintenance on the machine, ensure that the baler is turned off from the source, locked out and tagged out. Attempt to turn on the machine to ensure that there is no power running through the machine.
Please also ensure that you are wearing proper PPE.
Cleaning:
- Air Compressor: Use an air compressor (DO NOT EXCEED 40 PSI) to blow off any debris from the baler, the hydraulic tank and any surrounding components.
- Clean behind the ramp: Materials can get behind the compressing arm in the baler, which is important to get behind and dislodge so that it doesn’t cause damage or surprise downtime to the machine. You can remove the guarding and sweep material out with a broom.
- Air Breathers: Remove them and clean them out, or replace them to help ensure a cleaner atmosphere indoors.
- Tie Slots: First move the ram to the tie position before you then turn and lock off the baler. Open the tier and use something thin enough to fit through the slots and poke to clean any excess so that your baler has a clear and unobstructed path.
- Sensors: You can also use an air compressor to blow off any debris that coats your baler’s sensors, or wipe them with a soft cloth.
