Top 5 hydraulic balers suppliers in Singapore [2025]

When it comes to handling tough, heavy materials like scrap metal and thick cables, EcoCycle Engineering has built a reputation as Singapore's go-to expert. Founded in 2008, this family-owned business started with a simple mission: to provide recycling equipment that can withstand the rigors of industrial use while keeping operational costs low. Today, they're known for their rugged hydraulic baler equipment, designed to compress everything from steel scraps to copper cables into dense bales that maximize payload efficiency.

What sets EcoCycle apart is their focus on durability. Their flagship hydraulic baler, the ECHB-3000, boasts a 30-ton pressing force and a reinforced steel frame that can handle continuous use without wear and tear—a must for busy facilities processing tons of material daily. But they don't stop at balers. Recognizing that many clients also deal with scrap cables, they've expanded their lineup to include cable recycling equipment that works in tandem with their balers. For example, their ECCR-500 cable recycling system uses a combination of cutting and stripping technology to prepare cables for baling, ensuring that even tangled, multi-layered cables are transformed into clean, compact bundles.

Local recycling giant MetroScrap Industries swears by EcoCycle's equipment. "We process over 500kg of scrap cables daily, and before EcoCycle, we struggled with tangled wires jamming our old baler," says their operations manager, Lim Wei. "Now, their cable recycling equipment strips and cuts the cables cleanly, and the hydraulic baler compresses them into bales that are 40% denser than before. Our transport costs have dropped by 25%!"

EcoCycle also prides itself on after-sales support. With a team of in-house technicians available 24/7, they ensure minimal downtime for clients. "When our baler broke down during a peak period last year, EcoCycle sent a technician within 2 hours," recalls a satisfied customer. "They even lent us a temporary baler so we could keep working. That level of service is hard to find."

Not every recycling business in Singapore has the space or budget for industrial-scale equipment—and GreenMech Solutions has made it their mission to cater to this underserved market. Founded in 2012, this innovative supplier specializes in compact, energy-efficient hydraulic balers that deliver big performance in small packages. Their most popular model, the GMB-1500, is designed for facilities with limited floor space, measuring just 2.5m x 1.8m while still packing a 15-ton pressing force.

What makes GreenMech a favorite among small to mid-sized operations is their focus on user-friendliness. Their balers come with intuitive touchscreen controls and automatic bale tying, reducing the need for extensive training. "We're a family-run scrapyard with only 5 staff, so we can't afford complicated machinery," says Tan Li, owner of Jurong Scrap Hub. "GreenMech's baler was up and running in an hour, and my team mastered it the same day. Now, we bale plastic and cardboard in half the time it used to take."

GreenMech also shines in (complementary equipment), particularly their scrap cable stripper equipment. Their GMS-200 stripper is a compact, portable tool that can strip insulation from cables of all sizes, from thin household wires to thick industrial cables. When paired with their hydraulic baler, it creates a seamless workflow: strip the cables, feed them into the baler, and produce clean, valuable metal bales. "We used to pay a third party to strip our cables, which ate into our profits," says Tan. "Now, with GreenMech's scrap cable stripper and baler, we do it all in-house—and we're making 30% more on each batch of copper."

Sustainability is another cornerstone of GreenMech's philosophy. Their balers are designed to use 20% less energy than traditional models, thanks to variable-speed motors and energy recovery systems that capture and reuse energy during the pressing cycle. For businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint, this is a major selling point.

For recycling businesses with unique needs, RecyclePro Technologies is the name that comes to mind. Founded in 2005, this Singapore-based supplier has built its reputation on creating tailor-made solutions, and their hydraulic balers are no exception. Whether you need a baler that can handle radioactive waste (for specialized industries) or one that integrates with AI-driven sorting systems, RecyclePro has the engineering expertise to deliver.

Their flagship customizable baler, the RPT-Custom, starts with a base model but can be upgraded with features like remote monitoring, automatic material feeding, and even fire suppression systems for flammable materials. One of their most innovative additions is the integration of hydraulic press machines equipment into their balers, allowing for multi-stage pressing that achieves higher density than standard balers. For example, their RPT-HP5000 uses a two-stage press: first flattening the material with a 20-ton force, then compressing it further with a 50-ton force to create ultra-dense bales.

Electronics recycler TechCycle Singapore turned to RecyclePro when they needed a baler for circuit boards and lithium-ion battery components—materials that require gentle handling to avoid damaging valuable metals. "Standard balers crush circuit boards, which scatters tiny metal fragments and reduces recovery rates," explains their technical director, Rajesh Kumar. "RecyclePro designed a baler with adjustable pressure settings and a soft-grip pressing plate that compresses the boards without shattering them. We're now recovering 15% more gold and silver from each batch."

RecyclePro also offers comprehensive training and maintenance packages, ensuring clients get the most out of their customized equipment. "They didn't just sell us a baler—they spent a week training our team on how to adjust settings for different materials and even provided a 3-year maintenance plan," Rajesh adds. "It's more than a purchase; it's a partnership."

In the world of plastic and e-waste recycling, efficiency depends on seamless integration between machines—and Metro Recycling Systems excels at creating these end-to-end systems. Founded in 2015, this young but ambitious supplier has quickly made a name for itself by combining hydraulic balers with complementary equipment like plastic pneumatic conveying system equipment, creating turnkey solutions that handle everything from waste collection to baling.

Their star product, the MRS-PlastiCycle, is a complete plastic recycling line that includes a shredder, a plastic pneumatic conveying system, and a hydraulic baler. Here's how it works: shredded plastic flakes are transported via air pressure through the pneumatic system (eliminating the need for manual handling), then fed into the baler, which compresses them into dense bales ready for resale. "Before Metro, we had three separate machines from different suppliers, and they never worked well together," says Wong Seng, operations head at Plastico Recycling. "Now, their integrated system runs like a well-oiled machine—we've cut labor costs by 30% and increased throughput by 50%."

Metro's hydraulic balers are also designed with plastic-specific features, like anti-stick pressing plates and adjustable temperature controls to prevent plastic from melting during compression. For e-waste recyclers, they offer a similar integrated system that pairs their balers with circuit board recycling equipment, ensuring that even delicate electronic components are processed safely and efficiently.

What clients love most about Metro is their focus on scalability. Whether you're a startup processing 100kg of plastic daily or a large facility handling 10 tons, they can design a system that grows with you. "We started small with their basic baler and pneumatic system, and as we expanded, they simply added a larger shredder and upgraded the baler's motor," Wong notes. "No need to ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ everything—they built it to adapt."

Not all recycling materials are tough and rugged—some, like thin wires, delicate plastics, or even CRT glass from old monitors, require a gentle touch. That's where Precision Baling Asia comes in. Founded in 2010, this supplier specializes in high-precision hydraulic balers that compress fragile materials without damaging them, making them a top choice for e-waste and specialty recycling facilities.

Their standout product, the PBA-SoftGrip, uses a unique pressure-detection system that automatically adjusts pressing force based on the material. For example, when baling scrap cables with thin insulation, the baler reduces pressure to avoid tearing the insulation (which can contaminate the metal), then increases pressure once the wires are exposed. This attention to detail has made them a leader in scrap cable stripper equipment as well. Their PB-S Stripper uses laser-guided cutting to strip insulation with pinpoint accuracy, leaving the copper wires intact and ready for baling.

CRT recycling specialist GreenScreen Recycling relies on Precision Baling's equipment to handle their delicate workload. "CRT glass is fragile and contains lead, so we can't risk shattering it during baling," explains their owner, Sarah Loh. "Precision's baler uses a slow, steady pressing motion and a soft rubber plate that cushions the glass, creating bales that stay intact during transport. We've reduced breakage by 90% since switching to them."

Precision Baling also prides itself on compliance with Singapore's strict environmental regulations. All their equipment meets the National Environment Agency's (NEA) air and noise pollution standards, and their balers are designed to minimize dust and emissions during operation. "We're located in a residential area, so noise and dust are big concerns," Sarah adds. "Precision's baler runs so quietly, our neighbors don't even notice it—and the built-in dust collection system keeps our facility clean."
