Vertical Paper & Cardboard Balers 30–60 Ton Hydraulic Presses

Our vertical paper and cardboard balers compress OCC, cartons and dry paper waste into manageable bales for storage and transport. The 30–60 ton LE series combines manual batch loading and tying with hydraulic compression, making it suitable for warehouses, retail stores, workshops and recycling collection sites.

  • Reduces material volume and freight costs through compact compression.
  • Manual loading and tying with hydraulic compression; control options depend on configuration.
  • Compression chamber and bale size can be customized for different requirements.

Vertical Paper & Cardboard Baler Overview

Primary use

Condenses loose recyclable materials for easier handling, storage, and transportation.

Materials handled

Designed for OCC, corrugated cardboard, cartons and dry paper. Suitability for plastic film or other materials depends on the selected configuration.

Operation

Manual batch loading and bale tying with hydraulic compression. Control options depend on the selected model and configuration.

Customization

The compression chamber and package block size can be tailored to customer requirements.

Vertical Baler Features for Paper & Cardboard

  • Automatic bale ejector

    The machine features an automatic chain bale ejector for quick and easy bale ejection.

  • Feed opening door control

    An upward-lifting feed opening door is activated when the platen rises, improving handling and operator convenience.

  • Enhanced safety design

    The ram halts downward motion when the feeding gate opens, and an independent emergency stop improves operator safety.

  • Anti-rebound gate structure

    Both Euro and U.S. standard anti-rebound gate structures are included to enhance operational safety.

  • Stable ram guidance

    A special ram guide design prevents platen sloping caused by uneven material compression.

  • Premium sealing and piping

    Long-lasting NOK seals from Japan and Japanese A.M.C oil pipe joints help prevent oil leakage and extend service life.

  • Compact valve layout

    Taiwanese superimposed valves require less installation space and support a cleaner hydraulic arrangement.

  • Direct motor-pump connection

    A unique motor-pump combination ensures 100 percent concentricity and extends pump lifespan.

How a Vertical Hydraulic Baler Works

1. Load paper and cardboard

Load suitable loose paper and cardboard through the feed opening, following the operating instructions and loading limits.

2. Compress hydraulically

The hydraulic platen compacts the material in repeated batches until the required bale size is reached.

3. Tie and eject the bale

Tie the finished bale using the specified packaging material, then use the bale ejection system according to the operating procedure.

Paper & Cardboard Baler Applications

  • Waste paper facilities

    Used in waste paper factories to reduce material volume and improve handling efficiency.

  • Small disposal centers

    Suitable for packaging plants and small waste disposal centers because of easy installation and operation.

  • Paper mills and recyclers

    Applicable to paper mills and recycling operations needing a compact, economical baling solution.

Design & Operational Features

The vertical hydraulic layout combines a guided platen, feed-door interlock and chain bale ejection. Confirm the feed opening, bale handling clearance and control options when selecting a model.

Frequently Asked Questions

The LE series is intended for OCC (old corrugated containers), cardboard boxes, cartons and dry paper. Plastic film or other materials require confirmation of the appropriate chamber and tying configuration.

No. Compression is hydraulic. Operators load material in batches and tie the finished bale; the available hydraulic control options depend on the model and configuration.

The specification table lists the dimensions and indicative weights for the 30, 40, 50 and 60 ton models. Actual bale weight depends on material type, bulk density and loading conditions.

Consider a horizontal baler when feeding volume, operating hours or line integration exceed a practical batch-loading workflow. Semi-automatic horizontal balers require manual tying; fully automatic models use automatic tying.

Send your material type, daily volume, target bale dimensions, available floor space and power supply. Confirm feed-opening dimensions and bale handling requirements before ordering.
