Product Description

What is a baler machine used for?

A baler machine is used to compact any waste recyclable material such as cardboard, plastic, paper, etc, into compact easy to manage square bales. It uses a hydraulic press to compress the recyclable materials together, making them easy to store and transport to recycling centres. A baler machine is usually found in businesses where waste is generated, but that waste happens to be recyclable. Typical examples include as retail shops or warehouses where packaging waste is a significant issue and the need to carefully manage it is an important consideration.

Baler vs compactor – what are the differences?

Both balers and compactors play crucial roles in waste management, both leverage hydraulic pressure to effortlessly crush and compact waste. However, they cater to different needs and use cases. 

A baler machine such as the Gradeall GV500 here. Is specifiaclly designed to to compress recyclable waste such as cardboard, paper, plastic into neat, manageable bales. These bales made up of valuable recyclable material are sized and shaped ideally for stacking and storage, and this also makes it easy to transport them on to recycling facilities. This facilitates quick processing and repurposing of valuable recyclable materials.  

Compactors, on the other hand, are suited for situations involving higher volumes of mixed or unsorted waste. They are invaluable in places where waste segregation is not practical. While compactors for homogenous materials do exist (and this depends on the operator rather than anything specific to the compactor itself), such as those seen in council run amenity sites where signs say, cardboard, wood, textiles they also serve a purpose of handling mixed and wet wastes such as food waste in hospitality related businesses.  Sometimes a compactors waste will go to a waste handling facility if it has been used to compact a single type of material, however for mixed waste compactors their priority is to quickly handle waste and get it off site as soon as possible. 

So while both machines will crush waste, a baler is designed to produce a bale containing one type of material so it can be taken fairly soon for recycling. A compactor holds vastly more material, and it tends to be a wide range of materials where the main aim is not to recycle the material straight away but get it off site as soon as possible.  

Product Description of the GV-500 Baler Machine 

Gradeall GV500 baler for cardboard waste

The GV-500 Baler Machine is a long-lasting, heavy duty piece of waste management machinery that will improve the waste management practices in your business. It has been built with optimal performance in mind, whilst still offering the user a simple, intuitive control system.

Sliding door to make material entry easy

A sliding feed door features a counterweight slider mechanism for easy lifting, simply slide the door up and forget about it until it needs to be closed. This provides a large and unobstructed material feed area, making it very easy to load material into the GV500. 

The door itself has been designed so that it will open automatically after a compaction cycle has been completed, as the baling head rises it lifts the door upwards. For operators it takes out the guess work, clearly showing the baler is ready for more material and this makes it easier to load in materials in. The twin mesh windows allow for the progress of the compaction to be viewed as the baler operates.

Mechanical bale eject system

Bale produced by Gradeall GV500

The GV500 features a mechanical bale eject system, therefore, permitting the user to safely and conveniently deposit the bale onto a pallet, pallet truck or forklift in a controlled manner. The fact that the system is mechanical, adds a degree of simplicity and durability to this baler.

A two-handed bale eject system ensures that the user is standing away from danger when ejecting bales. This requires the operator to press both bale eject buttons (each button is located at opposite sides of the control panel) in doing so this eliminates the risk of injury to the operator during the bale eject process.

Despite the two-handed eject system, the controls are simple and easy to use with a single-touch operation required to complete a full bale cycle.

Suitable for outdoor use

All electrical components of the GV-500 Baler Machine are IP55 rated. Moving hinge parts have grease fittings which combine to make the GV500 suitable for use in outdoor conditions. This is a great advantage for businesses that have little storage space inside their premises. It can also provide a solution for those who want to keep their waste management processes outside their building, for health and hygiene practices. 

Industry standard 500 kg mill-spec bales

It is worth mentioning that the GV500 produces 500 kg mill-spec bales. This ensures that businesses that produce large quantities of recyclable waste can easily dispose of their waste materials as these mill-spec bales are the most sought after by recycling facilities due to their uniform size and weight.

One of the main uses of the GV-500 baler machine is for baling cardboard. It enhances the waste disposal process and prepares this waste material for recycling centres. The retail, pharmaceutical and hospitality sectors are likely to benefit from this type of baler, but really any business that has a surplus of excess cardboard waste can leverage the power of the GV500 to ensure their waste cardboard is turned into neat bales which can be sent off for recycling.

Baler machine for plastic 

The GV-500 is an efficient solution for businesses dealing with large volumes of plastic waste.

Variants of the GV500:

Stainless steel construction – GV500SS

Gradeall GV500SS Stainless Steel Baler

The GV500 baler machine is also available as a stainless steel version, with total construction from stainless. This is a particularly popular choice in the food processing industry, where cleanliness and a non-reactive corrosion-free machine are critical. We have supplied GV500 stainless steel variants to customers who regularly wash them with a bleach solution and the stainless steel ensures the machine suffers no rusting, something that would not be possible with the standard machine. 

Low Profile version – GV500LP

The GV500 Low Profile provides the functionality of the GV500 but with a scissor ram head arrangement to fit into areas with less available height. This makes it a great option for those looking for a high-performance machine that doesn’t take up too much space. The GV500LP has been popular with cruise ship operators where a low deck height limits available space but where material handling demands remain just as tough as on land.
