What is a Cardboard Baler?

04 October 2024

Palletised Cardboard Bales

A cardboard baler is a specialized machine designed to compact and bind cardboard waste into dense bales. These bales are easier to handle, store, and transport, making recycling more straightforward and cost-effective. The machine uses powerful hydraulic or pneumatic pressure to compress cardboard boxes and packaging materials into tightly bound, space-efficient bales.


How Does a Cardboard Baler Work?
Cardboard balers are essential machines for compressing bulky cardboard waste into manageable bales, making recycling more efficient. Here’s a quick overview of how the baling process works using a vertical baler:
  1. Load the Cardboard: Place the cardboard material inside the baler.
  2. Activate the Pressing Plate: Close the baler door and initiate the compression process.
  3. Bale Completion Notification: The baler will alert you once the bale is fully compacted and the door is safe to open.
  4. Secure the Bale: Open the door and tie the bale strapping to keep the bale intact.
  5. Eject the Bale: Release and remove the compacted bale from the machine.
  6. Prepare for the Next Bale: Reload the baler with bale strapping and start the process again.

The baled cardboard can be easily stacked and collected by local recyclers, cutting down on the need for frequent bin emptying. Most often than not you can get a rebate for baled cardboard which adds to cost effectiveness of these machines.

Space Efficiency: Cardboard balers occupy the same or less space than traditional waste bins, freeing up valuable space in your facility. The reduced need for bin storage can even create opportunities to repurpose areas for other uses.

Environmental Responsibility: Baling cardboard reduces the need for high-emission refuse trucks to collect your waste frequently. By baling your cardboard, you can significantly cut down on your CO2 emissions, contributing to your business's green credentials.
