PAPER BALER

Why Recycle Paper?

Paper is one of the most commonly used products in our life even in this electronic age. It is reusable, recyclable, and renewable. Large quantities of waste paper generated can be sold after properly baled by using a paper baler, which brings great revenue to paper recycling companies.

Recycling paper or paper products benefits the planet in many ways:

  • It helps divert these wastes from landfills, which saves disposal cost and landfill space.
  • It reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
  • It preserves natural resources and energy.

Recycled paper can be produced into many new paper products, such as office paper, toilet paper, tissues, greeting cards, newspapers and magazines. Other than that, waste paper can also be made into paper-molding packaging products, which have the advantages of lightweight, biodegradable and breathable.

Get to know which paper baler is perfect for your organization's operations. Usually, it depends on the volume of waste paper that need to be baled; the final estimated bale weight or bale size you want; the hourly or daily output that you expect; your space available for the baler installation and operation, and your budget for the paper baler.

Recommended Vertical Balers for Paper Baling

If you have limited operating space or you only need a small volume or a mid-sized volume, our typical vertical balers would be perfect for these tasks.

Select from the versatile mini baler series which is perfect for small scale recycling. They are very practical and can be adapted to most facilities and working areas. The bale output is small and easily managed.

If you need medium-sized baling volume or to make mill sized paper bales, you may choose from Mill Size Baler series which has 5 different models differ in bale sizes and compressing force. Model VMS30-15276S and model VMS50-15276S produces 1520mm (60") wide bales which are most popular with paper recyclers.

Vertical Two Ram Baler series are heavy duty recycling balers with compressing force ranges from 80ton to 200ton to produce more dense bales to optimize container or truck loading. Two standard bale sizes are available which are 1520mm (60") wide and 1100mm (43") wide.

Paper Baler Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Paper Baler?

A paper baler is a machine used in recycling facilities to compress and bundle large amounts of paper and cardboard waste into dense, manageable bales. These rectangular bales are then transported to recycling plants for further processing.

How Does a Paper Baler Work?

Paper balers work by using hydraulic force to compress paper waste into compact bales. The process involves loading paper into the baler, which then applies hydraulic pressure to compress the material. Once the bale is formed, it is tied with wire or strapping to maintain its shape.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Paper Baler?

- Space-saving: Baled paper takes up significantly less space than loose paper, reducing storage requirements.

- Cost-efficiency: Lower transportation costs due to the reduced volume of paper waste.

- Environmental impact: Enhances recycling efforts and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills.

- Operational efficiency: Streamlines waste management processes in industrial and commercial settings.

What Types of Paper Balers Are Available?

There are several types of paper balers, including:

- Vertical balers: Suitable for smaller operations with lower volumes of waste.

- Horizontal balers: Ideal for larger facilities with high volumes of waste.

- Closed-end balers: Provide higher compaction and are used for high-density bales.

- Auto-tie balers: Automatically tie the bales, increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

How Do I Choose the Right Paper Baler for My Needs?

Consider the following factors:

- Volume of waste: Determine the amount of paper waste your facility generates.

- Available space: Assess the physical space available for installing a baler.

- Budget: Consider the initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs.

- Automation needs: Evaluate whether manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic balers are best suited to your operations.

What Maintenance Is Required for a Paper Baler?

Regular maintenance includes:

- Inspection: Routine checks for wear and tear on components.

- Cleaning: Keeping the baler free of debris to ensure efficient operation.

- Lubrication: Regularly lubricating moving parts to prevent breakdowns.

- Repairs: Promptly addressing any mechanical issues to avoid downtime.

Are Paper Balers Safe to Use?

Yes, when used correctly. Modern paper balers come equipped with safety features such as emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, and protective guards. It is essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and provide proper training to operators to ensure safe usage.

Can a Paper Baler Handle Other Materials Besides Paper?

While paper balers are specifically designed for paper and cardboard, some models can handle other materials like plastics and textiles. Always consult the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.

How Much Does a Paper Baler Cost?

The cost of a paper baler can vary widely based on its type, size, and features. Prices can range from a few thousand dollars for smaller vertical balers to several tens of thousands for large, fully automated horizontal balers.
