Balers for Metals and Paper Converting
Industrial balers from Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) are engineered to deliver high-efficiency compaction for metals, paper, cardboard, and trim waste across industrial recycling and converting environments. These systems are designed to reduce material volume, lower transportation costs, and streamline scrap handling with precision and durability.
ERS offers a full range of baling solutions, including vertical balers, horizontal balers, 2-ram balers, and 3-ram balers, each tailored to specific material types and production volumes. Whether you're processing aluminum cans, steel scrap, corrugated cardboard, or tissue trim, our balers are built to create dense, manageable bales that simplify storage, shipping, and downstream recycling.
Vertical balers are ideal for facilities with limited space or lower throughput requirements. These compact machines deliver powerful compression in a small footprint, making them suitable for retail, stockroom, and light industrial applications. ERS vertical balers are available in standard, heavy-duty, and mill-size configurations, each designed to handle materials like OCC, stretch wrap, textiles, and plastics with safe, user-friendly operation.
Horizontal balers offer increased capacity and automation for medium to high-volume facilities. ERS provides both auto-tie and manual-tie models, with wide-mouth and small-mouth options to accommodate oversized materials or tighter layouts. These balers are commonly used in distribution centers, warehouses, and recycling plants where throughput and bale consistency are critical.
2-ram balers combine versatility and power, making them ideal for multi-material operations. ERS narrow-box 2-ram balers are a cost-effective solution for smaller producers who need the flexibility of a dual-ram system without the volume demands of a wide-box model. Wide-box 2-ram balers offer larger charge boxes and higher throughput, preferred for bulky items like oversized OCC and non-ferrous metals.
3-ram balers are engineered for the scrap metal industry, delivering maximum compression force and cycle efficiency for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. These machines are optimized for aluminum, steel, and mixed metal streams, with models scaled for both large-scale operations and smaller facilities handling steel cans or aluminum trim.
Each ERS baler is designed with safety, reliability, and integration in mind. Features like automatic bale ejection, GSM monitoring, and two-hand safety mechanisms ensure smooth operation and compliance with industrial standards. Our balers are compatible with ERS trim removal systems, dust collection units, and conveying platforms, allowing for seamless integration into your existing workflow.
ERS also offers reconditioned and used balers, providing cost-effective options for facilities looking to upgrade without full capital investment. Our engineering team works closely with clients to assess material types, production goals, and facility constraints, delivering customized baling systems that maximize ROI and operational uptime.
From cardboard and paper trim to aluminum scrap and textile waste, ERS industrial balers are built to handle the toughest compaction challenges. Every system reflects our commitment to sustainable recycling, clean operation, and long-term performance. Whether you're retrofitting a single line or designing a full-scale recycling facility, ERS delivers baling solutions that turn waste into value.
2-Ram Narrow Box Baler
Narrow box 2 Ram balers combine the versatility and workhorse capabilities of of a 2 ram-style machine, but at a lower cost than wide box models.
Narrow box 2 Ram Balers are an excellent selection for smaller producers that require the versatility of a 2-Ram style machine, but lack the volume of material to justify the additional cost of a wide box.
2-Ram Wide Box Baler
The larger frame of a wide-box baler offers a larger capacity charge box and an increase in thru-put.
The larger frame of a wide-box baler is popular because the larger capacity charge box correlates to an increase in thru-put. These wider openings are also chosen for processing larger more bulky items such as oversize OCC or Non-Ferrous Metals.
Horizontal Auto Tie Wide Mouth Baler
Horizontal Auto Tie Wide Mouth Baler are ideal for larger facilities like distribution centers, warehouses, industrial plants and recycling facilities that require the increased power to process multiple bails per hour at maximum efficiency.
Horizontal Auto Tie Small Mouth Baler
Horizontal Auto Tie Small Mouth Baler are ideal for larger facilities like distribution centers, warehouses, industrial plants and recycling facilities that require the increased power to process multiple bails per hour at maximum efficiency.
Horizontal Manual Tie Wide Mouth Baler
If your application requires a large feed opening for oversized material, but your volume doesn't justify the extra cost of an auto-tie, our manual-tie balers provide best-in-class versatility and multi-material bailing capabilities for bailing slip sheets, set-up boxes and flattened corrugated boxes.

Horizontal Manual Tie Small Mouth Baler
Our small mouth manual tie balers are perfect for lower production rates and smaller bailable materials. Commonly used with small trim systems, SC Environmental's small mouth manual tie systems can be designed to fit the size and power requirements of your operation.

Horizontal Manual Tie Full Eject Balers
For a baler that allows the complete ejection of the finished bail and can process multiple materials, our horizontal manual tie balers are designed to prevent cross-contamination of products in small-to medium-sized bailing applications.

Vertical Baler
Vertical balers deliver big result with the size and versatility you need to fit smaller spaces. The standby workhorse for smaller spaces, vertical balers come at a lower price point and are typically used for the lowest-volume applications:
• OCC
• Stretch wrap
• Clothing
• Plastic
• Textiles

Heavy Duty Vertical Baler
Our heavy duty balers vary from small footprint to large full size balers and are optimal for cardboard, plastic and various harder materials such as PET, aluminum cans, newsprint, HDPE milk jugs etc. The heavy duty balers are compact in design but offer high capacity and superior press force. Some models come with strong, cross cylinders which enable stable compressions as well as a low profile design.
The heavy duty baler come standard with:
• Full bale indicator light
• Automatic ejection system
• Safe two hand ejection mechanism
• GSM monitoring solution
Stockroom Vertical Baler
Stockroom balers are ideal for locations with limited space and/or low ceilings. The stockroom balers are often used for locations that do not have enough material to justify a mill-size baler, or simply do not have the space. Stockroom balers are a great way of replacing a dumpster for cardboard - and thereby save the monthly hauling fee.
Most of Engineered Recycling Solution's stockroom balers are available in a 110 volt power pack option, which can be operated on a standard household outlet.
The stockroom balers come standard with:
• Full bale indicator light
• Safe automatic ejection system
• Safe two hand ejection mechanism
• GSM monitoring solution
Mill Size Vertical Baler
Engineered Recycling Systems carries high quality mill size, vertical balers that are ideal for large quantities of cardboard and plastic. The 60" balers produce a standard 60x30x48-inch bale weighing between 800–1400 lbs depending on the waste material.
All of Engineered Recycling Solution's vertical balers are easy and safe to operate. One of the key benefits of our 60" vertical balers is that they fit standing through an 8 foot door and can be operated under an 11 foot ceiling.
The mill size baler come standard with:
• Full bale indicator light
• Automatic ejection system
• Safe two hand ejection mechanism
• GSM monitoring solution
3-Ram Balers
3-Ram Balers are ideal for general ferrous or non ferrous scrap.
Used for bailing non-ferrous and ferrous metals, our 3-Ram balers are designed specifically for the scrap metal industries, while our smaller 3-Rams are engineered to accommodate smaller-scale steel and aluminum can bailing.
