What is a paper baler?
A paper baler is a machine that uses hydraulic pressure to compress loose waste paper into dense, secured bales. This reduces the storage space needed before collection and makes larger quantities of paper easier to handle and transport for recycling.
A dedicated paper baler can process many clean, dry paper grades that are accepted by the recycling service.
Use a waste paper baler for:
- Newspaper
- Magazines
- Paper bags
- Shredded paper
- Clean paper packaging
- Envelopes
- Office paper
- Print offcuts
Do not bale wet, greasy or food-contaminated paper, confidential documents that require a secure destruction route, or mixed materials unless the recycling service has confirmed they are accepted.
Horizontal and vertical paper balers
There are various shapes, sizes, and types of paper balers. These elements can affect which machine suits your business.
Paper balers can also be automatic or semi-automatic. Depending on the model, tying and bale ejection may be completed automatically or require operator involvement.
The other main consideration is your available floor space and the volume of waste paper you produce regularly. This can affect the size of the paper baling machine that’s best and whether you should rent a horizontal or vertical paper baler:
- Vertical paper balers suit businesses producing moderate quantities of paper or where floor space is limited. They compress material downwards and are commonly used in offices, retailers, printers and smaller warehouse operations.
- Horizontal paper balers suit sites producing consistently high paper volumes and with more space available for the machine, loading area and finished bales. They are more common in large warehouses, manufacturing sites and recycling operations.
Benefits of a paper baler machine
A paper baling machine brings many benefits to businesses that produce lots of waste paper. It can save space, time, effort, and money for your organisation while ensuring as much paper as possible is recycled. These are the main benefits of hiring a paper baler machine for your business:
- Reduce storage space: Compact loose paper into dense bales so less space is taken up by sacks, bins or loose material.
- Potentially reduce collections: Baling allows more paper to be stored in a smaller area, which may reduce collection frequency where sufficient volumes are produced.
- Keep paper clean and separated: A dedicated paper baler helps keep recyclable fibre separate from general waste and other contaminants before collection.
- Potentially qualify for recycling rebates: Clean, dry baled paper produced in sufficient volume may attract a rebate or collection credit depending on paper grade, bale quality, weight and market conditions.
