Vertical balers loaded from the front, are usually manually operated, and compress from the top to down. With the approximate output from 300kgs to 2500kgs per hour, they are best suited for textile manufacturers, warehouses, grocery stores, or any commercial entities that generate waste like used clothing, carton, coconut fiber,Hollow plastic product, UBC (used beverage containers), shrink wrap, general paper scrap, fabric scrap, tire, sawdust and similar.

Vertical baling machines can be single ram or dual ram balers, and have a compressing force of anywhere from 5 tons to 250 tons (although most fall within the 20-100 ton range). In addition, most models can be easily operated by just one person, making vertical balers an ideal waste recycling solution for millions of businesses worldwide.
