What these machines are for
A semi-automatic horizontal baler compresses and ejects the bale but the tying is done by hand. You trade an operator’s time for a lower purchase price, which is the right trade at a few tonnes an hour and the wrong one at twenty.
What to weigh up when choosing
- Count the real labour cost before choosing: one operator tied up all shift often costs more over three years than the price gap.
- Chamber size sets the maximum bale; pick it from your transport, not from the brochure.
- Ask how easy the tying position is to reach — it is where your operator spends the day.
- If throughput is likely to grow, buy for the growth now; retrofitting a manual machine later is not economical.
Detailed specifications are available on request. Tell us your material and expected throughput, and we will send the model data that fits.
