The vertical hydraulic baler is the compact press with top loading and vertical pressing for shops, restaurants, hotels and workshops with low and medium volumes of cardboard, plastic or paper waste, with a small footprint and simple operation by a single employee.
The vertical hydraulic baler is available in 8 variants: 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 tonnes, with power of 7,5kW (10–20t), 11kW (30–40t), 15kW (60t), 18,5kW (80t) and 22kW (100–120t).
The vertical hydraulic baler has a pressing chamber open at the top, into which the operator feeds the material manually or with the help of a short conveyor belt, while the hydraulic ram acts vertically from top to bottom to compact the material. After the cycle is complete, the operator opens the side door, ties the bale with string or wire and removes it onto a pallet or platform. Transport and commissioning included. 60-month warranty.

The vertical hydraulic baler is selected at the quotation stage according to the daily waste volume and the available space. Free technical consultancy available. Advantages of the vertical hydraulic baler
• Variants from 10 tonnes: accessible for small spaces and low volumes. The vertical hydraulic baler starts from 10 tonnes of force and 7,5kW, the first option for retail shops, restaurants, offices, small workshops and hotels. The 10–20 tonne variant of the vertical hydraulic baler produces 15–25kg bales that can be moved with a cart or pallet truck, without a forklift, simplifying removal and delivery to the collection center.
• Small footprint: installation in spaces with limited width. The vertical hydraulic baler has bale dimensions from 800×400mm (the 10 and 20 tonne variants) up to 1200×800mm (the 60–100 tonne variants), which means that the installed equipment requires a floor space of approximately 1–2 m² for the small variants. This footprint of the vertical hydraulic baler allows installation in the waste storage rooms of supermarkets, in the service corridor of restaurants or in the corner of the production workshop without restructuring the space.
• Top loading with side door for bale removal: simple operation by a single employee. The vertical hydraulic baler has straightforward operation: the employee feeds the material through the top opening, presses the start button, waits for the pressing cycle to finish (30–90 seconds depending on the variant and material), opens the side door, ties the bale and removes it. This simple procedure of the vertical hydraulic baler requires no technical training and can be carried out by any employee of the location as part of the daily cleaning and waste management activities.
• 8 variants 10–120 tonnes: the exact choice for the bale density and dimensions required by the buyer. The vertical hydraulic baler covers the entire range of needs from commercial locations to medium-volume production units. The 60–120 tonne variants of the vertical hydraulic baler produce dense bales weighing 80–150kg of cardboard and 30–60kg of PET, accepted by most recycling centers at the maximum rate per tonne, because the high density reduces the buyer's transport cost.
Retail chains and supermarkets use the vertical hydraulic baling machine (the 30–60 tonne variants).
Waste pre-processing for controlled recycling flows.
Pressing and tying metal bales for shipping.
• Power 7,5–22kW: low operating cost for intermittent cycles. The vertical hydraulic baler operates cyclically (one pressing cycle per bale, with pauses between cycles), unlike the horizontal press which operates continuously. The power consumed by the vertical hydraulic baler during the actual pressing time is relatively low, and between cycles the equipment consumes minimal standby power. The energy cost per bale of the vertical hydraulic baler is competitive for locations producing 5–50 bales per day, the typical range of medium-volume commercial and industrial users. 60-month UZINEX warranty, national technical support 24–48 hours.
Applications | vertical hydraulic baler
Retail chains and supermarkets use the vertical hydraulic baler (the 30–60 tonne variants) for the daily compaction of cardboard from goods receipt and of plastic from product packaging. A single employee operates the vertical hydraulic baler at the end of the shift or during the day, producing 10–30 compact cardboard bales that are picked up weekly by the recycling center's truck.
Production workshops, printing houses, print shops and companies with large offices use the vertical hydraulic baler (the 20–40 tonne variants) for managing the paper, cardboard and plastic waste generated daily. The vertical hydraulic baler is integrated into the internal waste collection flow and eliminates the need for bulky loose-waste containers that take up space and require frequent, costly pickups. Frequently asked questions about the vertical hydraulic baler
How often should the vertical hydraulic baler operate in a supermarket?
An average supermarket generates between 10 and 30 cardboard bales per week, depending on the volume of goods received. The vertical hydraulic baler (the 30 or 40 tonne variant) can produce a bale in 2–5 minutes, which means that an employee can manage the entire day's cardboard stock in 30–60 minutes of work. UZINEX confirms the appropriate variant for the specific volume of the location at the quotation stage. Is the vertical hydraulic baler eligible for European funding?
Yes. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and delivers equipment for European-funded projects. The vertical hydraulic baler can be included in SEAP/SICAP in waste management and recycling projects. Leasing and credit options on the UZINEX credit and leasing page.
