Vertical Balers are often the best starting point for retail stores, supermarkets, hotels and warehouses that need to reduce cardboard, paper or plastic film volume without building a full recycling line.
When a vertical baler makes sense
A vertical baler is suitable when waste is generated in batches, operators can feed the machine manually, and floor space is limited. It is commonly used for OCC, cartons, shrink wrap, textile and soft packaging materials.
Key selection points
- Measure the largest cardboard size before choosing feed opening.
- Confirm ceiling height and door clearance.
- Ask your recycler for preferred bale weight.
- Check local voltage and operator safety requirements.
When to upgrade
If staff feed cardboard all day or bales need to be produced continuously, compare a horizontal baler or Automatic baler. PACKENER can help compare total cost, not only purchase price.
