FAQ

HORIZONTAL BALER HC40

Most Common Questions & Answers

Where should I install the horizontal baler?

The horizontal baler can be placed both indoors and outdoors. The machine requires a solid foundation e.g. concrete or pavement that can support the weight. If you place the baler outside, we recommend that you place it under a roof to protect it from wear and tear. Our sales consultant will help you identify the best place to install your baler.

What is the biggest difference between vertical and horizontal balers?

Vertical balers are compact, affordable, and ideal for manual operations and moderate volumes of waste such as cardboard and plastic. They compress material from top to bottom and take up minimal space, making them easy to install—especially for smaller businesses or sites with limited space.

Horizontal balers are built to manage larger quantities of waste and offer greater automation. They compress from the side and can be combined with conveyors, shredders, and other automated systems, reducing manual labour and improving operational efficiency. However, they require more space and a higher investment.

How large are the bales produced in a horizontal baler?

The size of the bales depends on the channel baler. Have look at the product specifications here. Bale weights vary depending on channel baler model and material. Expect bale weights between 200 and 300 kg in the smallest model and 350 and 450 kg in the largest model. In general, plastic gives the heaviest bales and cardboard and paper the lightest bales.

Is a horizontal baler easy to operate?

It is very easy to operate, but training in correct use of the machine is necessary. We recommend appointing one employee as ‘super user’. The ‘super user’ can train other employees and supervise their use of the machine to avoid accidents and machine malfunction. The ‘super user’ should also be trained in and be responsible for maintenance and light machine repairs.

How do I fill my waste material into the horizontal baler?

We offer a variety of filling options for our horizontal balers depending on your needs, like filling from both sides, from the back, and from the top. Both manual filling and automatic filling is possible. Please consult with our sales team to learn about the filling options.

What is the cycle time of a horizontal baler?

The cycle time is the time from the press starts till it has returned into position again, and you can continue fill in more waste. The cycle time depends on the machine type and can be as short as 24 secs.

What can I compress in a horizontal baler?

A horizontal baler can be used to compress soft materials such as cardboard, paper, and shredded PET.

How is the finished bale tied off in a horizontal channel baler?

All horizontal channel balers have automatic bale tying and bale length can be adjusted to your needs and preferences.
