LFA 500 HD

The LFA 500 HD is our largest heavy-duty vertical mill size baler, producing wire-tied bales of up to 650kg (depending on material). Built with reinforced hinges and a thicker steel frame, it’s engineered to withstand high pressures, making it especially effective on tougher, springier materials such as rigid plastics. At the same time, it delivers exceptionally dense bales of cardboard, plastic film, dry waste, and paper.

What sets the LFA 500 HD apart is its feeding speed. A rapid 32-second cycle time combined with an automatic shutter door means the baler is ready to load again immediately after each cycle — no doors to open, no wasted time. This efficiency, paired with its robust build, makes it the flagship of our vertical mill size range.

With an extra-wide 1560 x 690mm feed opening and 50 tonnes of compaction force, the machine is designed for large volumes of bulky waste. Recyclers favour mill-size bales to maximise rebates, and the LFA 500 HD produces them consistently. Bale ejection is simple thanks to the built-in auto eject system, while an IP65 rating ensures it can be used indoors or outdoors in any weather.

The LFA 500 HD is commonly used for cardboard, plastic film, rigid plastics, dry waste, and paper, though it can also process a wide variety of other recyclable materials.
