The E219 is a compact electric baler designed for handling cardboard and plastic waste in marine environments, where space is limited and waste routines must be efficient. With a total height of under 1.8 metres, it can be installed in low-clearance areas commonly found on vessels, offshore platforms and support ships. Its wide loading door provides crew members with an easy, ergonomically positioned loading point, even in confined onboard workspaces.

  • Space-saving low profile under 1.8 m
  • Ergonomic loading position for efficient workflow
  • Strong compaction force for dense, manageable bales
  • Quiet 3-phase electric operation at approximately 57 dB(A)
  • Plug ’n’ Press intelligent control panel for simple operation
  • Safe, user-friendly bale ejection mechanism

The small footprint size and convenient height of the E219 electric baler make it suitable for smaller warehouses and locations that do not already have an existing access to compressed air.

The E219 is powered by 3-phase electricity and free from hydraulics. A wider door opening and optimal loading height mean it can handle medium size boxes as well as bulkier materials like loose plastic to maximize on-site segregation and recycling.

Product Overview

The E219 is engineered to handle common recyclable waste streams found across the maritime sector—such as cardboard packaging, plastic wrapping, and supply-material residues. On offshore platforms, commercial vessels and support ships, these materials accumulate quickly, making controlled baling essential. The E219 produces compact bales of roughly 50 kg (cardboard) and around 80 kg (plastic), allowing crews to reduce on-board waste volume before transport or offloading ashore.

Being only 1.8 metres tall, the E219 fits naturally into the tight, multi-purpose spaces typical of engine rooms, storage corridors, back-of-house galley areas or rig utility stations. Its wide loading door makes it easy for crew members to feed materials efficiently, even while working in PPE or navigating narrow passageways common across marine installations.

The unit is equipped with the advanced control interface used across the Mil-tek E-Series, enabling operators to initiate baling cycles effortlessly and secure the pressing plate when needed, making it safer to operate offshore. Thanks to the Stay ‘n’ Hold functionality, the machine maintains pressure on the material without drawing additional power.

Running on 3-phase electrical supply, the E219 delivers quiet, dependable performance. Its low noise output and clean operation make it well suited for hygiene-critical locations such as galleys, food-storage zones, technical rooms or other controlled maritime environments where cleanliness and uninterrupted workflow are essential.

How does a baler work?

Q&A

Is the E219 suitable for hygiene-critical environments on ships?
Yes. Thanks to its clean electric operation and low noise, the E219 can be placed close to galleys, provision rooms, food storage areas and other hygiene-controlled zones without disrupting workflows or causing contamination concerns.

Why is the E219 useful for vessels and offshore platforms?
Space is always limited at sea, and waste accumulates quickly. The E219 reduces bulky cardboard and plastic into dense, manageable bales, helping crews keep storage areas organized and reducing the frequency of waste transfers or backloading.

How do I install the E219?
Its electric requirement and modest size mean it can be placed in many operational areas without significant modification to the existing layout.

How does the E219 help streamline onboard waste routines?
By compacting loose cardboard and plastic immediately, the E219 prevents waste from piling up in work areas, allowing crew to move safely and efficiently through tight operational spaces.

COMMERCIAL SHIPS

Commercial vessels operate year-round in changing sea conditions, making dependable and compact waste equipment essential. The E219 Electric Baler is well suited for these environments, providing stable and efficient compaction of cardboard and plastic throughout daily operations.

Its compact footprint and low overall height allow the E219 to be installed safely in tight onboard areas, while the wide loading door ensures controlled and secure feeding of materials. This makes it easy for crew to manage recyclable waste even in confined spaces or when the ship is moving.

OFFSHORE

Offshore platforms and support vessels operate in environments where space, safety and cleanliness are tightly managed. The E219 Electric Baler helps maintain these standards by compacting cardboard, plastic and other recyclable materials into dense, manageable bales, significantly reducing the volume of waste stored onboard.

Its compact size and stable electric design allow the E219 to be securely installed even in restricted or vibration-prone offshore areas. This makes it a practical solution for maintaining orderly waste stations and ensuring efficient recycling routines in demanding offshore conditions.

CRUISE SHIPS

Cruise vessels may operate at a gentler pace, but they still contend with constant ship movement and the need to manage large volumes of daily waste. Throughout each voyage, packaging materials from guest services, catering and onboard retail accumulate quickly.

The E219 Electric Baler supports the waste-handling routine by enabling crew to efficiently compact cardboard and plastic, helping minimise the amount of loose waste stored onboard. Its compact design and steady electric operation make it simple to integrate into designated waste areas, improving onboard cleanliness and keeping waste volumes at a minimum under control during long journeys.
