REI Vertical Balers

REI Vertical Balers deliver the power, durability, and efficiency today’s operations demand. Built with reinforced steel and supported by a lifetime frame warranty, these compact baling machines are engineered to withstand years of heavy commercial use. Every baler incorporates high-pressure hydraulic compaction to produce dense, consistent bales while minimizing energy consumption, a combination that reduces disposal costs and boosts operational efficiency.

Since 1994, we’ve designed equipment that improves facility safety, lowers environmental impact, and provides measurable long-term value. Our vertical balers are manufactured with heavy-duty welded components and industrial-grade hydraulics, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.

Strautmann AutoLoadBaler

The Strautmann AutoLoadBaler is designed to eliminate the most time-consuming parts of cardboard disposal in warehouses, retail environments, and distribution facilities. Its automatic filling system allows full collection carts to be loaded and emptied at the push of a button, removing the need for manual box breaking, pre-cutting, or waiting at the press. This streamlined process keeps employees focused on core tasks instead of waste handling.

With internal installation options and a compact footprint, the AutoLoadBaler reduces walking distances, improves material flow, and keeps disposal independent of container change schedules. By producing dense, market-ready bales with minimal labor input, the system helps facilities save significant labor hours while maintaining a cleaner, safer work environment.

Strautmann JumboLoadBaler

The Strautmann JumboLoadBaler is engineered for facilities handling large volumes of bulky or thick-walled cardboard. Its oversized feeding chute allows material to be loaded quickly and safely without manual pre-shredding, while automatic filling and pre-compaction streamline the baling process. This design significantly reduces handling effort and increases productivity directly at the point of disposal.

With a compact footprint and high pressing force, the JumboLoadBaler produces dense, market-ready bales that can be sold directly to recyclers and paper mills. By reducing labor input, shortening disposal routes, and maximizing bale density, the system helps operations improve efficiency, lower transport costs, and achieve a fast return on investment.
