For facilities that process large volumes of recyclable materials every day, a horizontal baler is one of the most effective ways to improve efficiency while reducing waste handling costs. Unlike smaller vertical balers, our horizontal baler machine is designed for continuous feeding and high-capacity operation, making it ideal for distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail operations, and recycling centers that generate substantial amounts of recyclable material.
CRA sees that many businesses struggle with the costs associated with storing and hauling loose cardboard, paper, and plastics. By compressing these materials into dense, uniform bales, horizontal balers can maximize available floor space and create a more organized waste management process. The resulting bales are easier to transport, stack, and market to recycling buyers, creating opportunities to recover value from materials that would otherwise be discarded.
CRA works closely with customers to determine the right equipment configuration based on waste volume, facility layout, and operational goals. Whether your facility requires conveyor-fed processing or integration into an existing recycling workflow, our team can help you identify the best horizontal baler solution. We understand that every operation is different, which is why we focus on customized recommendations rather than one-size-fits-all equipment packages.
Our horizontal cardboard balers are particularly valuable for businesses handling significant quantities of OCC (old corrugated containers). By reducing the frequency of waste pickups and improving material recovery rates, these systems can contribute to meaningful long-term savings. Combined with CRA's full-service rental program, businesses gain access to high-performance equipment without the capital investment and maintenance responsibilities associated with ownership.
From installation and training to ongoing service and support, CRA provides a complete horizontal baler solution designed to keep operations running smoothly. If your organization is looking to increase recycling efficiency, improve workplace organization, and generate revenue from recyclable materials, a horizontal baler rental may be the ideal next step.
