So you're looking at a vertical baler for scrap metal, textiles, or ag waste — we've sold these for years, and the thing buyers always start with is whether it can actually handle mixed materials, and yes, it can pretty much crush anything from cardboard to light steel to old clothing bales, though it's not suited for heavy demolition scrap like car bodies without a pre-shredder.
The pressing force range is 10 to 150 tons depending on the model, and that's what determines your bale weight, which goes form about 30kg up to 900kg — most buyers go with the 50-ton unit for general recycling because of that it's a sweet spot between power and floor space. Standard bale size is 800x600x800mm, but we can customize that (usually within 2-4 weeks) if you've got specific pallet or shippng constraints, and the PLC controller gives you automatic cycling, so it's basically set-and-forget once you load the chamber.
Motor power runs from 2.2KW up to 18.5KW, and you'll need to pick voltge at order — 220V, 380V, or 440V — because we don't include a transformer, and the machine weight itself ranges from 1000kg to 5100kg, which matters for freight costs and floor loading. One thing we don't advertise heavily but you'll appreciate: the 5-point automatic safety lock is actually a mechanical lock, not just a sensor, so even if power fails, the ram stays put.
Hydraulic components use imported pumps and valves, and the frame is high-strength steel with gas-shielded welding, which sounds like marketing speak until you've seen a cheaper unit crack at the weld seams after a year — we've had customers tell us ours outlasted three of the budget models they tried first. Production efficiency is 4-6 bales per hour, but that depends on your operator speed and material consistency, obviously.
Certifications are ISO9001, CE, and SGS — we've had those for years, but if your buyer requires something specific, just tell us ahead of time and we'll check if it's covered under the existing audits. Anyway, the 1-year hydraulic seals and motor, but the structure itself is built to run for a decade or so with routine maintenance.
We typically require a MOQ of 1 unit for standard configurations. If you want custom colors or bale sizes, we can still do a single unit, but lead time may extend slightly.
Standard production takes about 15 to 25 working days, depending on the model and any customizations. We'll confirm the exact timeline once we know your specs.
Yes, all three certifications come with the baler. We include the original documents in the shipment, so you'll have them for customs clearance or quality audits.
Absolutely, the bale size is customizable. Just let us know your preferred dimensions, and we'll adjust the chamber and ram accordingly — no problem for a single order.
Keep it in a dry, covered area away from moisture and extreme temperatures. If it's sitting for more than a month, we suggest running the hydraulics briefly every few weeks to keep the seals in good shape.
