A vertical baler is a machine that reduces the overall volume of your loose waste material by making a compact and tight bundle called a bale.
Using the filling opening, you can easily toss your loose cardboard or soft plastic into the baler. A press plate uses extreme force to compress the material by pushing downward. The material remains compacted due to the retainer dogs inside of the chamber of the baler.
Continue to throw material into the baler until you have compacted enough waste for a full bale. Then, the finished bale is manually tied off with polyblend strapping or wire. The size and weight of the finished bale are determined by the size of your baler.
The finished bales take up a limited amount of space and are easy to move. Baling your waste material offers you an easy solution for waste disposal.
Bramidan offers a variety of different baler designs that are perfect for handling your waste.
Our specialists are ready to advise you on the type of baler that will best suit the needs of your business. Please contact a member of our team for further information.
All of our balers are equipped with BRA-IN technology. BRA-IN is a web portal for intelligent fleet monitoring. Using a modem, machine data is collected.
With BRA-IN you can:
Our X-series balers are designed to compact a variety of different heavy-duty waste materials, such as plastic bottles (PET), expandable plastic, aluminium or tin cans, and big bags. They are also very efficient at compacting materials like cardboard, paper, and dry soft plastic (shrink wrap).
Contact a member of our sales team before compacting other types of materials in your baler.
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 offer a door solution that does not swing outwards. To allow more direct access to the chamber from all sides and provide more space around the baler, we have designed a manual vertical door that opens upwards on our B-series machines.
This door option is designed for sites with a narrow, limited amount of space.
Yes, we do. Our 60” baler, the B6030, makes bales that meet standard mill-size dimensions and weight specifications. Finished bales weigh 800 – 1,300 lbs., depending on the material.
The low-profile design allows the baler to fit an 8 foot dock door standing up. Once the cylinders are raised, it can be installed and operated under an 11 foot ceiling.
No, our balers do not have a built-in scale. However, the bale size and weight do not fluctuate by much and will usually be the same.
Our BRA-IN monitoring solution allows you to view the average weight and number of bales made in your baler each week and/or month. You can also create reports for recycling compliance.
Yes, it is possible to bale PET bottles. However, before compacting, the bottles need to be perforated or the lids taken completely off. If not, the trapped air inside of the bottles will cause a looser, less compact bale. PET is one of the most abundant materials. It is found in soda bottles, water bottles, drinking cups, and food containers.
PET bottles can be baled in our X-series model balers. For a tighter and more stable bale, we recommend placing a layer of cardboard on both the top and bottom of the finished bale.
Yes, you can bale cans and other light metal waste (ie. aluminum) in a baler.
To bale cans, you will need a machine with a high press force that will compact the material during the first press cycle. With cross cylinders and long cylinder strokes, our X-series balers are designed for compacting cans and other heavy duty materials.
For a tight and stable bale, we suggest layering a piece of cardboard on both the top and bottom of the finished bale. Another option is to cover the finished bale in shrink wrap.
Yes, our X-series balers are perfect for compacting aluminum waste. These models are designed with X-shaped internal cylinders that create a very high press force. As a result, you are left with a very tight bale that is compacted during the first press cycle.
We recommend our X30 HD and X50 HD balers if you are planning on baling aluminum waste. To keep the bale stable, we suggest laying a piece of cardboard on both the top and bottom prior to compacting. Another option is to cover the finished bale with shrink wrap.
Yes, we supply a draining add-on for select models. With this solution, you will be able to bale waste materials that contain liquids, such as aluminum cans and PET bottles.
To prevent splashing, our draining system also includes a seal for the bottom door. Learn more about the draining add-on here.
We also offer a galvanized model for customers who are interested in compacting materials with liquid residue, which will prolong the life of your baler.
When the baler is full, the orange full-bale indicator light located under the start button will blink. The press plate will also stay in the down position. This prevents the chamber from being overfilled.
We also offer our BRA-IN monitoring solution, which automatically updates you when your machine is full. You will receive a text or email when the bale is finished, telling you it is time to tie off and eject. Our monitoring solution also allows you to notify your recycler or hauler when an agreed upon number of bales are ready for pickup. Learn more about BRA-IN Bramidan Intelligent Monitoring Solution.
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 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.
The baler model that is best for you depends on the type and volume of material and the amount you generate daily. It also depends on the amount of space you have at your facility.
Using this information, we can determine the proper waste solution for you and your company. Our sales team is happy to work with you to find the best fit for your company’s structure and internal work processes.
