Pneumatic Cardboard Balers
Compact, air-powered machines
Powered exclusively by compressed air, Mil-tek’s pneumatic baler series offers cutting-edge efficiency and versatility for waste management. These compact machines are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing setup, whether connected to an airline or a standalone compressor, making them ideal for handling small to medium-sized volumes of cardboard waste in a variety of environments. Their streamlined design ensures they occupy minimal floor space, delivering powerful waste compression without the bulk of traditional balers.
EcoDrive patented
One of the standout features of these compressed air balers is the incorporation of patented EcoDrive valves. This innovative technology ensures that the balers maintain a consistent and powerful pressure on the cardboard waste throughout the compression process, maximizing efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. Unlike conventional hydraulic balers, Mil-tek’s pneumatic solutions completely eliminate the need for hydraulic oil, thereby removing the risks of oil spillage and environmental contamination. This not only makes them cleaner and safer to operate but also reduces maintenance requirements over time.

Electrical Cardboard Balers
Our electrical baler range for cardboard waste stands out for its uniquely low height and exceptionally high pressing force, combining powerful performance with a compact design. These features make the machines easy to install in spaces with limited ceiling height, without compromising their ability to handle large volumes of cardboard waste effectively. Their robust compression capabilities ensure that even high quantities of material are compacted into dense, manageable bales, maximizing space efficiency and making transportation more economical.
The electrical balers are completely free of hydraulic oil. This innovation eliminates the risk of leaks or contamination, ensuring cleaner and safer operations while reducing environmental impact and maintenance needs.
An additional feature of the electrical baler range is the “stay and hold” mechanism, which maintains constant pressure on the material during the compaction process. This advanced functionality ensures optimal bale density, helping businesses achieve significant cost savings by reducing waste volume and enabling a smoother transition from waste to revenue-generating materials.
These energy-efficient cardboard balers are the ideal solution for businesses that handle large volumes of waste and require a compact yet powerful machine.

Hydraulic Cardboard Balers
If your business generates significant volumes of cardboard waste and requires a heavy-duty solution, a hydraulic baler may be the ideal choice. At Mil-tek, we offer a robust range of vertical hydraulic balers and horizontal hydraulic balers.
Pneumatic vs. hydraulic balers: Which is right for you?
The powerful hydraulic balers are built for high-capacity operations, making them the go-to option for businesses with continuous or large-scale cardboard waste management needs. Engineered for durability and consistent performance, our hydraulic balers excel in compressing heavy cardboard materials into dense, compact bales. Some models in our range even produce mill-size bales, which are optimized for transportation and immediately ready for recycling, saving time and reducing logistical costs. The flexibility of the hydraulic balers ensures that they can cater to a wide variety of industries, from large retail operations and warehouses to manufacturing facilities and distribution centers. Whether you choose a vertical or horizontal model, these machines provide the pressing force needed to compact massive amounts of cardboard, freeing up valuable space while significantly cutting down on waste disposal costs.
For businesses managing substantial daily cardboard waste, a hydraulic baler is the ideal choice over a pneumatic machine, offering a reliable and heavy-duty solution.

Cardboard baler FAQ:
What is a cardboard baler, and how does it work?
A cardboard baler compresses waste cardboard into compact, tied bales for recycling. Cardboard is loaded into the chamber, where a ram compresses it into a dense shape. Once full, the bale is tied off and removed for transport.
What’s the difference between a baler and a compactor?
A cardboard compactor compresses large amounts of cardboard into smaller, manageable sizes, saving storage space. A cardboard baler further secures compressed cardboard into stackable bales, ideal for recycling or transport.
Can I sell compacted cardboard bales?
Yes, compacted cardboard bales can be sold to recycling companies or waste management facilities, as they are in demand for processing and reuse.
What types of cardboard can I compact?
You can compact most cardboard types, including boxes, sheets, and tubes, but avoid wet, laminated, or contaminated materials for better recyclability.
