Max-Pak MP60 Vertical Baler – 60” Mill-Size Bale – Heavy Duty Cardboard & Recycling Baler
Max-Pak MP60 heavy-duty vertical baler designed for efficient compaction of cardboard (OCC), paper, plastics, aluminum cans, and other recyclable materials. The MP60 is one of the most widely used vertical balers in distribution centers, retail facilities, manufacturing plants, and recycling operations due to its reliable performance and ability to produce dense mill-size bales.
Built with heavy structural steel components and a powerful hydraulic system, the MP60 delivers strong compaction force while maintaining simple operation and easy maintenance. This machine produces a standard mill-size bale measuring approximately 30″ x 48″ x 60″, with bale weights reaching roughly 1,100–1,300 lbs depending on material.
The MP60 series is known for its durable construction, including reinforced header beams, heavy side channels, and spring-loaded bale retainers that maintain bale integrity throughout the compaction cycle.
