Chopped Straw/Hay
Baling chopped straw and hay isn’t just for agricultural applications. There are plenty of instances where a baling machine can be used in a manufacturing facility that produces leftover straw, hay, wood shavings, and similar. Animal bedding manufacturers, certain textile companies, as well as agricultural industries all could have a need for baling chopped straw and hay. Chopped straw baler or hay baler machine is the right way to go.
One key aspect of baling these materials is producing a stable end product (the bale itself) . Of course it should be easy to handle, and also doesn’t leave a trail of debris. Sinobaler has led the development of Baling equipment for this use, producing Vertical and Horizontal balers which compress and package chopped Straw/Hay in plastic or woven bags. This last part is important, as it keeps manufacturing and work areas much cleaner. Also it makes bales that don’t produce dust.
Let’s discuss the bagging aspect for a second. We have developed a process where the bag is available on the exit channel by hand. This allows the baler itself to be very versatile – much more so than if the bagging was automatic. After filling, the bag is closed manually with tape. Depending on the type of baler you purchase, the weight of the bags can vary from 7lbs to 66 lbs.
Chopped straw baler or chopped hay baler machine in SINOBALER
Our Horizontal Baler, with a stored-program controller PLC, can produce and pack 60 packaged bales an hour (weighing up to 55lbs at 28'' x 16'' x 12''.) The machine is equipped with a simple one-button operation. And it also has a sensor switch on the hopper for controlling bales under your desired weight. We can even provide an Automatic Feeding Conveyor to maximize baling efficiency.
Our Vertical Baler, with a capacity up to 30 bales an hour, takes few minutes to produce one bale, but the bales can be a bit larger (up to 66 lbs.) Both machines need only one operator, making them very labor- efficient.
We can also customize our straw/hay balers, and design them to your specific requirements. If you have a fiber-based material in mind and need a baler manufacturer, just contact Sinobaler today and we’ll get you exactly what you need. View more size reduction machines.

APPLICABLE MACHINE
The Sinobaler Heavy Duty Dual Ram Baler delivers 80–200 tons of press force via its dual-ram system, ideal for compacting tough, fibrous, or rebounding materials, as well as soft ones requiring high bale density for optimized loading. It's perfect for natural and synthetic fibers, metal panels, tubes, profiles, and hard plastics like electronics shells and pipes. This baler reduces storage space, cuts transport costs, and boosts efficiency—making it a smart investment for modern recycling and waste handling.
Vertical Bagging Baler Machine
Vertical bagging baler machines are perfect for compressing and bagging small, loose materials for easy handling and transport. They press materials into compact bales and bag them in one step, ideal for factories handling pet food, animal bedding, fertilizers, fabrics, and more. Suitable materials include peanut shells, cotton seeds, chopped straw, hay, wood shavings, fibers, and rice hulls. One person can produce up to 30 bales per hour, each weighing 44–66 lbs. The removable bag feature adds versatility, allowing the machine to bale other materials without bagging when needed.
Scale Weighing Horizontal Bagging Baler
Scale weighing horizontal bagging baler is ideal for packing loose materials like rags, straw, hay, wood shavings, pet food, and textile scraps. Commonly used in pet food plants, farms, fertilizer factories, and recycling centers, it helps turn loose waste into valuable, bagged bales. Equipped with PLC control, one-button operation, and a hopper sensor switch, it can produce 25kg bales (700×400×310mm) at up to 60 bales/hour. The built-in scale ensures precise bale weight. It automatically compresses, bags, and ejects materials for easy handling, storage, and transport.
Heavy Duty Horizontal Bagging Machine
One main use of a horizontal baling and bagging machine is for loose materials like sawdust, wood chips, rags, peanut shells, cotton seeds, and rice hulls. These are hard to handle, but this machine automatically feeds, compresses, and bags them for easier storage, transport, or resale. Sinobaler’s Horizontal Baling & Bagging Machine features PLC control, one-button operation, and a safety sensor switch. It produces 60 bales/hour (88 lbs each, 28×16×12 in). Ideal for textile recyclers, pet food plants, farms, fertilizer factories, and any site generating loose waste.
A biomass bagging baler is an industrial machine designed to compress loose biomass materials and pack them into bags for convenient storage, handling, and transportation. It is widely used in biomass power plants, agricultural processing facilities, waste-to-energy projects, and recycling centers. By reducing volume and stabilizing loose biomass, bagging balers help improve logistics efficiency and protect materials from moisture and contamination.
Sinobaler’s Manual Tie Horizontal Baler, also called a semi-automatic horizontal baler, handles solid and hollow waste like cardboard, PET bottles, textiles, and more. Ideal for facilities processing under 4 tons/hour with low labor costs, it offers automatic feeding, compressing, door control, and bale ejection—only the tying is manual. Press force ranges from 40 to 120 tons, with bale weights from 200kg to 850kg. Custom chamber sizes, power packs (up to 45kW), and conveyor options are available to boost productivity up to 5 bales/hour.
Open-end Manual-tie Horizontal Baler
Sinobaler SHB1-O series open-end manual-tie horizontal baler features an open-end design for continuous bale output, improving productivity by 50% over close-end balers. Strapping setup is needed only once, saving labor like a fully automatic baler. It supports various strapping materials—steel wire, PET strap, rope, etc.—making it ideal for high-volume solid waste or biomass baling. Not suited for hollow plastics due to lower density. A cost-effective choice for mid-scale recyclers or facilities needing efficient, labor-saving baling with limited investment.
Open-end Manual-tie Horizontal Baler With Wire Threader
This open-end manual-tie horizontal baler with wire threader offers nearly all functions of a fully automatic baler—except automatic tying. The built-in threading mechanism pushes wire or belt into strapping slots automatically, unlike standard manual-tie balers. While its productivity is about 20% less than a full-auto baler of the same size, it allows flexible strapping materials like steel wire, PET belt, or rope. Ideal for medium-scale recyclers or producers of solid waste, animal bedding, or feed who need efficient, cost-effective baling without sharp metal in bales. Best suited for soft or solid waste, not hollow plastic containers.
