A baler is a machine that manufacturers use to bind and compress different materials. Balers are capable of binding and pressing materials such as plastic, scrap cloth, garbage, grain and many other materials.

They are used mainly to compact, bind, and bale recyclable materials, like paper, for the purposes of storage and transportation. Companies that use industrial baler machines spend less in waste recycle disposal due to the balers’ ability to reduce storage and transportation size. For example, if users bale scrap metal down to an efficient size, they can efficiently transport the scrap metal to a factory where it can be recycled and reused as sheet metal. Similarly, baling certain materials such as fibers created from newsprint paper can enable it be used in other industries such as the production of shoe soles.

In addition to the recycling industry, they also have applications in agriculture, consumer and retail and trash compacting. Businesses in the agricultural and farming industries use balers to compress harvested crops for feeding and transportation purposes. In the consumer or retail industries, balers compress byproducts and waste to simplify recycling, storage, transportation, and handling.
