Vertical cardboard balers
Godswill vertical balers suit businesses that produce steady cardboard waste but don’t have the room or volume for an automatic line. Staff load cardboard through the front door, the ram compresses it, and once the chamber is full the bale is tied and ejected. They’re a common replacement for overflowing cardboard skips behind retail and hospitality sites.

Godswill F Series channel balers
Channel balers are automatic horizontal balers built for high volumes. Cardboard is fed continuously into the hopper, compressed through a channel and tied automatically, so the baler keeps running without an operator stopping to tie bales. The F Series handles cardboard, paper, LDPE plastic film, and steel and aluminium cans.
The F series chassis comes in 4 sizes.
2 smaller sizes are typically used in the Printing waste / Document & Product destruction industries.
GB0505F:
Infeed hopper opening = 0.5m by 0.8m.
Bale size = .5m by .5m by Variable length.
GB7575F:
Infeed hopper opening = 0.7m by 1.2m.
Bale size = .75m by .75m by variable length.
2 larger sizes are typically used in the bulk baling of cardboard & paper / Material Recovery Facilities.
GB1108F:
Infeed hopper opening = 1m by 1.8m.
Bale size = 1.1m by .8m by variable length.
GB1111F:
Infeed hopper opening = 1m by 2.4m.
Bale size = 1.1m by .1.1m by variable length.
All configurations except the 180hp and 240hp include a regenerative circuit for efficient energy use. The right configuration depends on your material type, feed rate and required throughput, our team can help match this to your site.

Is a cardboard baler worth it?
For most businesses filling more than a few cardboard bins a week, yes. A baler pays its way in four ways:
- Fewer collections. Baled cardboard takes up far less room than loose boxes, so bins and skips are emptied less often.
- Income from bales. Clean, tied bales can be sold to cardboard recyclers. Loose cardboard usually costs money to remove.
- Less space and mess. Bales stack neatly on a pallet instead of piling up in loading docks and walkways.
- Easier recycling reporting. Bales can be counted and weighed, which helps with recycling targets and sustainability reporting.

Cardboard baler FAQs
What is a cardboard baler?
A cardboard baler is a machine that compresses loose cardboard into dense, tied bales that are easier to store, transport and recycle.
What is the difference between a vertical baler and a channel baler?
A vertical baler is loaded by hand and suits low to medium cardboard volumes in a small footprint. A channel baler is fed continuously and ties bales automatically, which suits high volume sites like distribution centres and recycling facilities.
What size cardboard baler does my business need?
It depends on your weekly cardboard volume and floor space. Most single retail or hospitality sites suit a vertical baler, while warehouses and recyclers producing cardboard all day suit a channel baler.
