Overview
A vertical baler compresses recyclables such as cardboard, plastics and non-ferrous metals into dense bales that are easy to store, stack and haul. It takes up little floor space, which is why it is the most common baler in retail, grocery and distribution back rooms.
We offer 60-inch and 72-inch configurations. A 60-inch baler handles most store-level cardboard volumes. A 72-inch baler has a wider feed opening for larger boxes and produces a bigger bale.
| Sizes | 60-inch and 72-inch |
|---|---|
| Materials | Cardboard (OCC), plastic film, non-ferrous metals |
| Bale weight | 60-inch cardboard bales commonly run about 800 to 1,200 lb, depending on model and material |
| Power | Single-phase or three-phase, depending on model |
| Site needs | Indoor floor space and enough ceiling height for the unit |
Figures are typical ranges. Exact specifications depend on the model we match to your site.

Cardboard, plastic film and shrink wrap, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum. Each material should be baled separately.
Often, yes. Recyclers commonly pay for baled cardboard, though prices move with the commodity market. Baling also removes cardboard from your trash, which can cut hauling costs.
Vertical balers have a small footprint, but they are tall. We check floor space, ceiling height and electrical service before installation.
