Vertical balers
Our vertical balers are built to last
At Bramidan, we develop and manufacture vertical balers that combine high performance with long-lasting durability. These machines are designed for efficient compaction of cardboard, plastic, paper, and many other materials—reducing waste volume by up to 90%. That saves space, time, and money.
For over 50 years, we have provided solutions to businesses of all sizes—from small retail shops to large production centres. Whether you need to manage smaller amounts of waste in a compact back room or larger volumes in an industrial operation, we have a model that suits your needs.
All our balers are developed with a focus on user-friendliness, minimal noise, and safe operation—and they produce tight, uniform bales that are easy to handle and transport.

Expert advice for smarter waste handling
Compact multiple types of waste
Due to the world’s limited resources and the need to protect the environment, it is important to sort, compact, and recycle your waste. Our vertical balers make it easy to sort and compress various types of materials – while reducing volume, saving space, and simplifying logistics.
Below you can see the most common types of waste that can be compacted in a Bramidan baler:
Cardboard
Paper
Soft plastic
Hard plastic
PET bottles
Tin cans
Aluminium cans
EPS
Foam
Textile
Choose your baler based on waste type and volume
The right baler depends on both the type and amount of waste you handle. Each machine produces bales in a specific size, which varies depending on the density and composition of the material.
For larger volumes of waste, it may be worthwhile to opt for a high-capacity model – both to reduce manual workload and to maximise the material’s resale value. However, in many cases, smaller bales are just as practical, especially for lighter materials or where space is limited.
In addition to generating revenue from recyclable materials, baling also offers advantages such as:
- less time spent on tidying up
- better use of storage space
- fewer loose fractions and reduced risk of spillage
- greater safety and improved workflows
The type of material you want to compact also plays a role. For example, bags and film rarely require large bales to retain their recycling value, while materials such as cardboard and PET are well-suited to larger, tightly packed bales.
User-friendliness and flexible integration into your operations
When investing in a vertical baler, it should not only suit the volume and type of waste – it should also integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows. That’s why all Bramidan machines are developed with user-friendly operation, flexible installation and minimal maintenance in mind.
Our balers can be placed directly where waste is generated – for example, in back rooms, at goods-in areas or near the production line. Their compact design makes it easy to find space, and the intuitive controls mean staff can quickly learn to use the machine safely and efficiently.
With features such as automatic start, bale full indicator and easy ejection, you save time in daily operations and reduce the risk of errors. If you need monitoring or data insights, you can add BRA-IN and gain access to real-time data, notifications and remote support – all in one place.
A low noise level creates a better working environment
The noise level during daily operation plays an important role in the working environment – especially when the machine is placed close to employees in warehouse or retail settings. Many balers typically operate at 70–80 dB, equivalent to the noise of a busy street, which can be harmful over time.
Bramidan balers are designed with noise reduction in mind and operate at a significantly lower sound level. A difference of just 10 dB can be clearly felt – it’s like going from traffic noise to a quiet office. This creates both calm and safety in the everyday environment and ensures a better workplace for your employees.
Choose the right door type for your needs
The choice of door type has a major impact on how the machine functions in your daily work – especially if space is limited or waste needs to be loaded quickly and frequently. That’s why we offer different door types for several of our vertical balers.
Some doors save space by opening sideways or upwards, while others are particularly easy to operate in fast-paced workflows. By choosing the right door type from the beginning, you get a solution that suits both your waste types and your working routines.
Below you can see the door types we offer.
The SD-door is always open, which makes it easy to throw waste into the chamber at any time. The Semi-Automatic door is used for the following models: B30 Wide SD, B50 SD and B50 XL SD.
How a vertical baler works
Watch our videos and get a quick insight into how easy it is to use a Bramidan baler. You’ll see how waste is easily loaded into the machine, and how finished bales are simply tied and ejected – without unnecessary hassle.
All our models are developed with a strong focus on safety and, of course, comply with the highest European standards.
Watch how our B-series balers work
Balers in the B-series have cylinders on top and are made for basic compaction like cardboard, paper and soft plastic.
Watch how our X-series balers works
Balers in the X-series have cross cylinders inside for strong compaction of several recyclable waste fractions.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
A vertical baler is a machine that uses extreme force to compress loose waste material into a tight bundle, or bale. You place your loose cardboard or soft plastic waste into the baler via the filling opening. Inside the machine, a strong press plate pushes the material downwards. Retainers in the chamber prevent the material from expanding and keep the waste material down when not under pressure. This makes the bale as compact and tight as possible. You continuously place waste in the baler until you have accumulated enough compacted waste to make a bale. The bale is tied of manually by wire or plastic strapping. Bales come in different sizes and weights depending on the size of your baler.
A baler enables you to sort your waste directly at the source; and bales are easy to handle and take up little space. They also make transportation and waste disposal convenient and easy. We offer a wide range of baler designs to choose from to suit your individual needs in terms of waste type, volume, size and ease of use. Our specialists are ready to advise you on the type of baler that will best suit the needs of your business. Please contact a member of our team for further information.
We have our BRA-IN solution. A web portal for intelligent fleet monitoring based on data collected from a modem in your baler or compactor.
With BRA-IN you can:
- Get in control of your fleet of machines
- Receive a text message or email when a baler is full
- Advise your recycler directly about bales ready for collection or container to be emptied
- Tracking of the number of bales you produce over time
- Save time and money with remote service and troubleshooting
- Calculate on your Total Cost of Ownership
Assess the physical space in your facility and ensure there is enough room for the baler and for safely moving the bales. Depending on your waste volume, your company may need a larger machine which in turn, requires more space.
We’re happy to advise you based on your facility’s available space.
A vertical baler from Bramidan is an efficient solution for businesses looking to compact waste in a space-saving and safe way. Our machines handle cardboard, plastic, paper and many other materials – reducing volume by up to 90%, saving time, space and money.
