Horizontal Balers

The simple way to manage large volumes of recyclable materials.

Why Choose a horizontal baler?

Handle more waste with less effort.

If your business produces large amounts of cardboard, paper, or plastic, a horizontal baler can help. Industek’s IBH1210 and IBH1510 models make recycling faster, easier, and more profitable.

Key benefits:

  • Turn waste into revenue — Sell compacted bales instead of paying for disposal.
  • Handle high volumes — Process over 2 tonnes of recyclables per day.
  • Save on labour — Works with automated loading systems, so you need fewer workers.
  • Get a strong return on investment — Higher productivity offsets the upfront cost.

The IBH1210 makes 1,100 lb bales. The IBH1510 goes even further, producing 1,500 lb bales for the busiest facilities.

Most Common questions & answers

The process is simple. You load materials into the chamber by hand, via a conveyor, or with an automated system. A powerful ram compresses the material into a tight bale. Sensors control size and density for consistent results. Finally, bale ties secure the bale for storage or transport.

Choosing between a horizontal baler, a vertical baler, or a compactor depends on several key factors. First, consider the volume and type of waste you generate daily, as well as the available space in your facility. For very large volumes of dry recyclable materials, Industek’s horizontal balers (IBH1210 or IBH1510) are ideal, producing dense and easy-to-handle bales. For medium volumes or smaller spaces, vertical balers like the IBV1010 or IBV1320D offer an excellent alternative. The IBV1320D is particularly suited if you need to sort two types of materials simultaneously.

A compactor is better suited for non-recyclable or wet waste. The optimal solution should seamlessly integrate into your company’s structure and internal processes. Each type of equipment has specific advantages based on your waste management needs. To help you make the best choice from our product range, our sales team is available for a personalized assessment of your needs and to guide you toward the most suitable solution for your situation.

IBH151060″ × 30″ × 48″ 1,500 lb (680 kg) 46 seconds

The volume of recyclable materials you can compact depends on the baler model you choose. Industek offers a diverse range to meet different needs:

  • The IBH1210 produces 1,100 lb (500 kg) bales with dimensions of 30″ x 60″ x 42″. This baler is ideal for businesses handling large volumes, typically over 2 tonnes per day.
  • The more powerful IBH1510 generates 1,500 lb (680 kg) bales, measuring 60″ x 30″ x 48″. It is perfect for very large volumes of waste, easily handling several tonnes per day.
