Horizontal Balers

Horizontal Balers help reduce costs when compacting waste. These types of baler are hydraulically operated and use a special kind of door called a Portcullis. They are designed with simplicity of operation in mind. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.

As with many types of machine, manufacturers have strived to automate the machines as much as possible. This helps free up operators to complete other tasks whilst they wait for the next waste cycle thus improving efficiency.

By design,RUBBER SHEET, this type of baling equipment saves space when loading and unloading cardboard, paper and plastic. A major concern of waste handlers is transportability of bales. Horizonal balers are designed so that a forklift can pick up the bale with ease.

Consumables are usually replacable with adds to the longevity of the baling equipment. Adjustments can be made to the operator’s individual requirements. Industrialbalers should be built to withstand daily use.

So what are the differences between horizontal and verical balers?

Vertical balers are more suited to smaller applications which produce less waste and require manual operation thus increasing labour costs. Horizontal balers can generally process more waste but are generally more expensive, they are however more automated. Automation can save on labour costs which can provide a long term saving as you long you produce enough waste to make it worthwhile. Waste baling equipment can generally be purchased or leased depending on requirements and circumstances.Balers vary in size and functionality so one’s own needs must be analysed before choosing which one to use. Horizontal balers are a great choice if labour saving and high throughput of waste are priorities.
