RMW 550 HD
Product Overview
RWM 550 Heavy Duty Waste Baler
Built for the toughest of baling tasks, the RWM 550 HD is a powerful mill size baler engineered to handle challenging materials with ease. Whether you’re compacting mixed rigid plastics, dense cardboard, or other hard-to-bale waste, this robust machine delivers consistent, high-quality results.
With a substantial 50-tonne press force and full stroke compaction, the RWM 550 HD ensures maximum bale density. Retaining claws are fitted as standard to prevent material spring-back, and the five-wire tying system provides added bale integrity for materials that demand extra security.
Capable of producing mill size bales of up to 550kg, this baler is the ideal choice for high-throughput environments requiring strength, reliability, and efficiency in waste handling operations.

Key Features
The RWM 550 HD features a 50-tonne press force that delivers high compaction rates, making it ideal for dense and awkward materials. Full stroke compaction allows for better compression of difficult waste streams, ensuring a consistently dense and uniform bale. Integrated retaining claws minimise material spring-back during the cycle, while the five-wire tying system provides added bale integrity — particularly important when processing bulky or rigid waste. Designed for demanding environments, the machine reliably produces mill size bales of up to 550kg, offering an efficient and robust solution for high-volume waste handling.
Take a look at the full RWM baler line-up, ranging from the RWM 150 up to the RWM 600, in this demonstration video. While all models operate on the same reliable principle, this video focuses on the RWM 400, showing its operation, efficient compaction, and high-quality bale output.

Aftersales Care
A number of organisations – especially those making the first step to improve their waste handling capabilities – are a little apprehensive about what happens after their investment in a waste baler. What if their plant manager gets a new job and there’s a knowledge gap? What if they make a mistake and a small repair is needed? These worries are perhaps natural, but there’s really nothing to panic about.
Firstly, our waste balers are incredibly easy to use, but secondly, our baling engineers will be with you every step of the way, long after the initial procurement. Providing training, service and maintenance expertise, spare parts or simply a waste handling review, we’ll help you maximise the return from your investment, for years to come.
