All balers include:
· Fully powder-coated exterior for durability
· Automatic compaction cycles

Compact Balers
These space-saving, low-noise balers are great for locations that have limited floor area. Don’t be fooled by their compact size, these balers produce tightly compressed bales that reduce the need for multiple bins and frequent pickups. With a simple design, their user-friendly lever system can be safely operated by one person. Compact balers are easy to operate, fitting easily into storage spaces.

Other sites such as shops, petrol stations, small hotels or any site generating light to moderate volumes benefit from small cardboard and plastic balers.

Medium Balers
Medium balers are built for busier sites that produce a consistent stream of recyclable waste. Offering a wide feed aperture and high compaction force, they make light of processing bulkier items like flattened boxes. These solutions are a solid mid-range option for reducing costs and streamlining recycling operations.
The Medium Baler is a great all-rounder. It’s small enough for busy back-of-house areas, but it’s also powerful enough to handle large volumes of waste packaging daily. Designed for supermarkets, universities and local authorities, they can handle moderate to high volumes of cardboard, shrink wrap, and soft plastics with ease. You’ll be cutting down on collection frequency, lowering disposal costs and reducing clutter. Better yet, these balers support environmental goals by lowering carbon footprint and single-use plastic waste.
Built for busy commercial settings, medium balers are able to handle bulky cardboard and plastic, making them perfect for hotels, large retailers, shopping centres, schools, supermarkets and light manufacturing.
