OEM customization in hydraulic presses for used paper: real cases NKBALER
The demand for waste paper hydraulic presses is evolving towards highly customized solutions, where technical adaptability, delivery times, and commercial flexibility are critical decision factors. In this context, the OEM and ODM manufacturing capability of NKBALER presents itself as a relevant alternative for buyers looking for specific equipment without large minimum volumes.
Problem / Opportunity
Recycling centers and waste treatment plants need machines that fit their particular workflows: local voltages, specific bale dimensions, customized branding, and material tolerances. Standard production lines do not always cover these needs, forcing them to look for manufacturers with the ability to customize technical parameters, voltage, logo, block size, and color, as offered by NKBALER.

Fully automatic horizontal hydraulic baler – NKW series
Real application cases
In Indonesia, an NKBALER baler has been successfully used by recycling station manufacturers to pack plastic waste and paper waste. The project scale was 1 installed unit, standing out for its low noise level and low energy consumption. The product has been in operation for 10-15 years, achieving stable performance.
In Romania, a farm implemented an NKBALER fully automatic alfalfa baler. The automation doubled baling efficiency and met production needs during the local hay season, with a bale density of over 400 kg/m³ and a transport cost reduction of approximately 30%.
In Pakistan, agricultural manufacturers use the NKBALER baler for straw and alfalfa, with an expected lifespan of 10-15 years and results of stable operation and low noise.

These parameters are customizable according to customer needs: voltage (380 V/50 Hz standard, others available), color, logo, and bale size.
Market trend
According to Grand View Research data, the global baler market reached USD 6.40 billion in 2024, with agricultural and industrial applications as main drivers. The specific waste baler segment was valued at USD 1.45 billion in 2024, focused on paper, plastic, and solid waste recycling. Asia Pacific dominated the hydraulic market with a revenue share of over 34%, led by China, which consolidates Chinese manufacturers like NKBALER as relevant players.
Comparison with traditional solutions
Unlike manufacturers that offer only standard models, NKBALER provides full customization flexibility and low MOQ. However, its monthly production capacity is approximately 10 units, which can be a limitation for projects requiring high-volume deliveries in very tight deadlines.
Future perspectives
The demand for customized balers is expected to continue growing, especially in emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. NKBALER will continue strengthening its OEM/ODM production line, integrating efficient cooling systems and intelligent controls to adapt to the increasingly strict regulations of the European Union.
