A Hydraulic Baler Customer from the United States

Michael Thompson, founder of a small recycling business in the US, found Foodline’s hydraulic baler machine on Google while searching for an efficient cardboard baler. His recycling center mainly handles cardboard and plastic film from local supermarkets, but he kept running out of space. Loose materials piled up everywhere, and his old baler made loose, bulky bales that wasted truck space and kept shipping costs high.

In early 2025, he bought a vertical 30-ton hydraulic baler machine from us. One month later, the results were clear: before, two people could only process about 3 tons of cardboard per day; now, one person runs the machine and easily handles 8–10 tons per day. The dense bales let each truck carry nearly three times more material, and he saves about $2,500 per month in labor costs.

What does Michael say?

“At first, I was not sure about buying a machine directly from China. But the Foodline team was very professional. They asked about my material and bale requirements and showed me production videos. This 30-ton vertical hydraulic baler is strong, simple to run, and works great. Now my yard has no piles of cardboard – only neat bales and a much better financial statement.”

Features of Automatic Hydraulic Baler Machine

industrial hydraulic baler machine

High Compression Capability
The hydraulic system provides 63–400 tons of pressing force (some models up to 600 tons), capable of compressing loose materials such as waste paper, plastics, metal scraps, and straw into dense bales, saving storage space and facilitating transportation.

Versatile Models
Available in vertical, horizontal, metal baler, and straw silage baler models, allowing selection based on material type, processing capacity, and available space.

Convenient Automated Operation
PLC automatic cycle control allows the press head to stop automatically after compression and triggers a strapping alert, reducing labor requirements while increasing efficiency and safety.

Safe & Environmentally Friendly
Safety doors and emergency stop buttons ensure operator safety. Low noise design (≤75dB) meets US workplace standards. No oil leakage, eco-friendly operation.

Can the machine run on US voltage (460V/60Hz)?

Yes. We can build a custom motor and control system for 460V/60Hz. Just tell us when you place the order.

How long does shipping to the USA take?

Production takes about 15–20 days. Ocean freight to the West Coast takes about 20–25 days. Add customs clearance and inland shipping – total around 1.5 to 2 months.

What if the machine breaks? Do you have support in the US?

We provide remote video support. A local electrician can fix over 90% of issues with our help. We also ship spare parts quickly by DHL, so you will not face long downtime.

Can this hydraulic baler handle other materials besides cardboard?

Yes. It also works well for plastic bottles, plastic film, waste clothing, etc. If you need to bale metal (like aluminum cans or paint buckets), we recommend our metal baling press.
