Horizontal Balers
Horizontal balers from MHM UK LTD are designed for medium to high-volume waste producers who need continuous, efficient baling of cardboard, plastic, paper, and other recyclable materials. Our range includes semi-automatic balers with manual wire tying and fully automatic balers with autonomous wire feeding for 24/7 operation.
Horizontal balers are the workhorse of any large-scale recycling operation. They feed material horizontally, produce consistently dense bales, and can handle significantly higher throughputs than vertical balers—making them ideal for manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and waste management companies.
Every MHM horizontal baler is manufactured in the UK with features like full-bale ejection, portcullis doors, and advanced anti-wire snap technology as standard.
For continuous unattended operation, our JOVISA fully automatic balers handle wire feeding and tying autonomously for true 24/7 baling.

Horizontal Balers FAQs
Semi-automatic balers require an operator to manually feed and tie the baling wires. Fully automatic balers handle wire feeding and tying autonomously, enabling continuous 24/7 operation with minimal manual intervention. The right choice depends on your throughput and labour availability.
Horizontal balers handle cardboard, plastic film, PET, paper, textiles, and many other recyclable materials. They are versatile machines suitable for most dry recyclable waste streams.
Horizontal balers are larger than vertical balers and require more floor space. The exact footprint depends on the model. We can advise on space requirements and help you plan your installation. Contact us for details.
