Our horizontal balers are designed for demanding recycling environments where speed, automation, and maximum bale density matter most. Whether processing cardboard, paper, plastics, textiles, or industrial waste streams, REI systems provide the performance and reliability needed for continuous production. In addition to our own custom balers, we offer equipment from top manufacturers to match any facility’s volume, budget, and workflow.
Baling has never been easier or more profitable. 2 ram balers offer flexibility, heavy bale weights, high throughputs and durable construction that can stand up to the toughest challenge.
REI offers over 100 Open-End Auto Tie baler models that can handle paper, plastic or many other types of scrap. If your operation is looking for a solution that automates the way you handle scrap, REI has the answer.
REI offers multiple closed baler options that can be hand fed, fed by self-dumping hoppers or conveyor fed. Closed door balers can produce 2-3 bales an hour of OCC, plastic, cans and much more. REI has a closed end manual tie baler to fit your specific needs.
German engineering makes the Strautmann series of balers a perfect solution for lower-volume operations with limited space and high material turnover. Set-up boxes and packaging waste can be easily crushed and baled in a sustainable, automated process.
Many recycling and manufacturing facilities operate in buildings never designed for modern material recovery systems. REI horizontal balers, including compact containerized options like the Strautmann BaleTainer, are well-suited for tight layouts, indoor installations, and retrofit projects. These systems enable efficient baling with minimal disruption, helping facilities improve recycling performance without expanding their footprint.
