A baler or compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material through compaction. The compacted material is smaller, easier to handle and less costly to transport than loose material. Typically, a baler is used to compress a cut and raked crop, office paper, cardboard, plastic, foil, cans, and recyclable products and a compactor is used to compress waste material or soil.
Common types of industrial balers and compactors include baling presses, cardboard balers, compactors, crushers and flatteners, double-ram balers, downstroke balers, horizontal balers, open-end balers, single-ram balers, vertical balers.
