GH600 Horizontal Baler

The Gradeall GH600 Horizontal Baler is a heavy-duty waste management solution built for operations that process large, continuous volumes of mixed materials. Whether you’re handling paper, cardboard, hard and soft plastics, light steel, aluminum beverage cans, bottles, or other recyclables, the GH600 is designed to keep up with demanding throughput requirements without compromising on bale quality.

Manufactured at Gradeall International’s facility in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, the GH600 reflects nearly 40 years of engineering experience in waste processing and recycling equipment. It’s a practical, reliable machine built for long-term, high-volume use.

What the GH600 Horizontal Baler Produces

The GH600 produces mill-sized bales measuring 1500 x 750 x 1100 mm. Depending on the material being processed, bales can reach up to 600 kg. These dimensions and weights are consistent with standard mill-size bale specifications accepted by most paper mills and recycling processors, making the output immediately marketable without further handling.

Bales are secured using five baling wires in a manual tie configuration. This approach is a deliberate design choice: manual tie systems are straightforward to operate, easy to maintain, and avoid the mechanical complexity and reliability issues that can come with automatic tying systems. For high-volume operations where uptime matters, this reliability makes a real difference.

Modular Design and Waste Feed Options

The GH600 follows the same modular design philosophy applied across Gradeall’s static compactor range. This means customers can specify the machine configuration that best suits their waste feed requirements, rather than adapting their operation around a fixed design.

Waste feed options range from a simple hinged door hopper through to full stainless steel dewatering conveyor systems with integrated electronics. This flexibility makes the GH600 suitable for a wide variety of operational settings, from distribution centers and manufacturing facilities to large retail environments and material recovery facilities.

The modular approach also simplifies future upgrades. As your operation changes or volumes increase, the machine’s configuration can be adjusted without requiring a full equipment replacement.

Internet-Connected Monitoring with Intelli-Fill

The GH600 is available with Gradeall’s Intelli-Fill system, the same remote monitoring technology used across the compactor range. When fitted, Intelli-Fill allows Gradeall to monitor the machine’s operation remotely, providing diagnostics and support without requiring an on-site visit.

If an issue arises, remote access allows Gradeall’s team to assess the situation quickly and, in many cases, resolve it without delay. The system also allows specific machine parameters to be adjusted remotely to optimise baler configuration for the material being processed.

This option requires a SIM card and an active network subscription, subject to network operator costs. Signal strength may vary depending on location.

Materials Processed

The GH600 handles a broad range of recyclable waste streams, including:

  • Paper and cardboard
  • Hard and soft plastics
  • Light steel
  • Aluminum beverage cans
  • Plastic bottles
  • Other recyclable materials at comparable densities

The range of materials the GH600 can process makes it well-suited to operations managing mixed recyclable streams, where a single machine needs to handle varying inputs efficiently.

Product Description

Why Choose a Horizontal Baler for High-Volume Operations

Horizontal balers like the GH600 are designed for continuous, high-throughput environments. Unlike vertical balers, which require the operator to manually load material and initiate each cycle, horizontal balers accept a continuous feed of material and produce bales automatically as the chamber fills. This makes them better suited to operations where waste is generated at a high, consistent rate.

The mill-sized bale output of the GH600 is also commercially significant. Mill-size bales are the standard format required by most paper mills and large recycling buyers, so producing bales in this format removes an extra handling step and makes the material easier to sell or transfer.

For operations currently using smaller or less capable equipment, upgrading to the GH600 can meaningfully improve processing speed, reduce labour requirements, and improve the commercial value of the baled output.

Support and Export

The GH600 is manufactured in Northern Ireland and exported to customers in over 100 countries. Gradeall provides full lifecycle support, including installation guidance, operator training, maintenance support, and OEM spare parts.

For customers considering a purchase, Gradeall offers the option to visit the Dungannon facility for an on-site equipment demonstration before making a decision. This allows procurement teams and operations managers to see the machine running under real conditions and assess its suitability for their specific waste streams.
