Struggling with mountains of loose cardboard? Our solution compacts it fast. Let me show how this transforms operations.
An 80-ton waste cardboard horizontal baler crushes OCC into dense bales using immense pressure. Perfect for high-volume recyclers seeking maximum compaction ratios. ShunYin Machinery models achieve 8:1 volume reduction with industrial-grade hydraulics.
Choosing heavy-duty balers requires deep knowledge. See answers to frequent buyer questions I receive.
What is the best baler for cardboard?
Watching customers pick wrong machines costs them thousands. Consider key factors first.
High-volume operations need hydraulics: 80-ton horizontal balers perform best. ShunYin models handle 8+ tons/hour with automatic wire-tying. Low-volume operations can consider vertical presses instead.
Three elements determine ‘best’:
Throughput Needs Assessment
| Daily Cardboard Volume | Recommended Baler Type | Production Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 2 tons | Vertical baler | 0.5-1 ton/hour |
| 2-5 tons | 40-ton horizontal | 2-4 tons/hour |
| 5+ tons | 80-ton horizontal | 5-8+ tons/hour |
Automation Level
I prioritize:
- Auto-feed conveyors
- Self-lubricating systems
- Touchscreen PLC controls
Real Client Success
A Canadian recycling plant doubled productivity after upgrading. Their secret? Our dual-piston design maintains stability during max-load operation.

Are cardboard balers worth it?
Discarded cardboard consumes profits silently. See how this pays for itself.
Absolutely: balers generate profit via waste reduction and recyclable sales. Our clients earn $120-$500 daily from baled cardboard. Typical ROI is 6-14 months with ShunYin’s 80-ton models.
Consider these financial insights:
Landfill Cost Savings Calculation
- Without baler: $80/ton disposal fees × 10 tons = $800 weekly loss
- With baler: $50/ton bale resale × 10 tons = $500 weekly gain
- Net swing: $1,300/week positive cashflow!
Hidden Benefits
Government regulations increasingly mandate recycling. Penalties reach $25,000/year for non-compliance. Our machines ensure certification-ready output.

What is the cost of a cardboard baler?
Seeing sticker shock scare buyers frustrates me. Provide the full money picture.
80-ton horizontal balers range from $28,000-$65,000. ShunYin units start at $32,500 with full automation. Prices vary based on customization and duty cycle needs.
Price isn’t everything – consider lifecycle costs:
Ownership Cost Analysis (5 Year Horizon)
| Expense Category | Budget Option | ShunYin Baler |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Price | $24,000 | $34,000 |
| Repairs | $17,200 | $6,000 |
| Downtime Losses | $38,500 | $1,200 |
| Total Costs | $79,700 | $41,200 |
Why our machines cost less long-term? Military-grade steel construction survives 15+ years minimum. We tested cylinders under 30,000 press cycles without failure.

What size cardboard baler do I need?
Picking underpowered balers wastes money daily. Match power to workflow.
Base sizing on daily volume: 80-ton balers suit 5+ ton/day operations. Analyze conveyor dimensions, space availability, and future growth projections together.
Three critical sizing dimensions:
Physical Space Requirements
Measure both machine footprint and safety zones:
- Machine length: 6.5m
- Operating clearance: 3m radius
- Loading height ceiling: 4.2m minimum
Production Capabilities For Different Inputs
| Material Type | Max Daily Volume in 80-Ton Baler | Optimal Bale Size |
|---|---|---|
| Corrugated Cardboard | 30 tons | 1100x900mm |
| Plastic Film | 22 tons | 1000x800mm |
| Mixed Paper | 18 tons | 900x700mm |
Last week, a Singapore distributor avoided disaster by catching this: their docks had 0.5m less height than planned. We custom engineered lower-profile model within 48 hours.
