T40 Semi Auto Horizontal Baler

The perfect waste baler for your factory / distribution centre.

Selecting waste balers

Businesses are always looking for waste balers that save money and improve waste management. A baler can lower waste disposal costs and reduce the need for large recycling bins. Space is also a key factor. A compact baler can be placed close to the waste source, helping teams work faster and keep areas tidy. Ease of use matters too, with features such as:

A wide loading door for fast loading

Bin lifting or conveyor feeding for safer handling

A recycling baler that supports sustainability is now more important than ever. Better recycling means lower environmental impact and stronger green credentials. KME helps businesses choose the right high-capacity waste baler to match their waste type, space, and budget.

The T40 Semi-Automatic Horizontal Baler is a compact and versatile solution for industrial waste management. It can process a wide range of materials, including:

• Cardboard
• Plastic film and bottles
• Metal cans

The T40 creates high-density mill-size bales that are easier to store, move, and sell for recycling. This keeps the workplace clean and organised, while freeing up valuable floor space in warehouses, factories, and distribution centres. With its reliable performance and strong build quality, the T40 horizontal baler is ideal for companies that want to improve productivity and boost recycling rates.

Choose the T40 for a cleaner workspace, lower waste costs, and a more efficient recycling system.

KME semi-automatic horizontal balers are versatile waste management machines designed to improve efficiency in a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) or in a standalone recycling operation. These recycling balers help reduce handling time, increase throughput, and create cleaner, more compact bales for transportation and resale.

A key advantage is their ability to integrate smoothly with other KME waste management equipment. This allows businesses to build a full recycling system that matches their workflow. For example:

• Shredders can be added to pre-process waste, creating tighter and more manageable bales.
• Bottle piercing units are ideal for high volumes of plastic bottles, reducing trapped air and improving bale density.
• Chain-driven infeed conveyors can be custom-built to move materials directly into the baler, improving safety and automation.

When combined, these components create a seamless sorting and recycling process. This results in:

• Faster waste handling
• Higher bale quality
• Better use of floor space
• Reduced labour costs

By integrating a KME semi auto horizontal baler into a complete MRF system, businesses can optimise the sorting, processing, and baling of recyclable materials — boosting productivity and sustainability.
