Baler X50

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 have different door solutions that do not open outwards. The Vertical Door for our B-series balers is manual and opens vertically upwards to give you more space around the baler – and free access to the chamber from both sides. The Automatic Sliding Door for our X-series balers is fully automatic and opens vertically downwards. It stays open and is an excellent solution for quick and easy filling. These door types are suitable if you need to place the baler in narrow places.

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 greater 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, you can compact aluminium waste in our X30 and X50 balers. To get the tightest bales, it is important that the aluminium is compacted very hard from the very first press cycle. Our X-series balers have long internal cylinders and can reach the bottom of the baler with a very hard press force. This is called a long stroke. The result is optimally compressed aluminium waste, even if the baler is almost empty. We recommend that you put a layer of cardboard on the top and at the bottom of the bale to keep it stabile. You may also benefit from wrapping plastic film around the finished bale.

Yes, both strapping and steel wires can be used to tie the bales. In our small machines, you can only use strapping.

Yes, you may use a baler for compacting light metal waste like food cans and aluminium cans. You need a baler with a relatively high press force to compact empty aluminium cans. It is important that the material is well compacted from the very first press cycle. Our X-series balers, which have cross cylinders with long cylinder strokes, are very suitable for this purpose. We recommend that you put a layer of cardboard at the bottom and on top of the bale to keep it stable. Sometimes you might also benefit from wrapping the finished bale with plastic film.
