How to bale plastic waste
Reduce waste costs with a plastic baler
By using a plastic baler, you can reduce waste volume by up to 90%, making it easier to store and transport. This not only frees up valuable workspace but also reduces the time and costs associated with waste disposal. Efficient baling turns your plastic waste into compact, manageable bales, simplifying recycling and helping you maintain a cleaner and more organized facility
Plastic waste: Before and after
Baler for shrink wrap (LDPE)
Shrink wrap, or plastic foil, is one of the most common types of plastics. This waste is present in almost all industrial, commercial and service sectors. It is often used to secure goods on pallets. It is a valuable and expensive secondary raw material. Its purchase price depends mainly on the purity of the waste and the quality of sorting.
If foil is a waste fraction generated by your company, a plastic baler is the optimal solution. The baler is also suitable for compacting cardboard or paper – because our machines are universal.
Recommended machinery: B-series or X-series
Baler for PET bottles
The disposal of PET bottles and plastic containers is one of the more serious problems faced by the food industry.
Due to their dimensions, plastic containers should be compacted in balers with a large feed opening and high press force.
Before compacting PET bottles, their lids should be unscrewed or punctured. Otherwise, the air inside will make compacting difficult. To increase the stability of the bale, place a cardboard cover at the bottom and on top of the bale.
Recommended machinery: X-Series Balers
Baler for plastic containers or large amount of plastic
To compact this type of material, you need a plastic baler with a high press force and a very tough and durable construction.
With large amounts of plastic waste, horizontal balers are a great solution. They ensure high efficiency and continuous operation. A large feed opening and automatic tie system allow you to easily organize and manage waste.
Recommended machinery: X-series balers or a horizontal baler
Baler for plastic barrels
Plastic barrels are often sturdy and difficult to break down due to their size and durability. To effectively compact these heavy-duty containers, you need a strong baler designed to handle tough materials.
A powerful baler can easily compress plastic barrels into compact bales, reducing their size and making them much easier to store, transport, and recycle.
Recommended machinery: Drum press
Big bags
Baler for big bags (FIBC)
Big bags, also known as bulk bags, are used for bulk storage and transport.
Their size and shape can make disposal difficult, but balers can compact these bags into dense, manageable bales, significantly reducing their volume.
Recommended machinery: B-series balers
A baler can reduce plastic volume by up to 90%
By choosing the right baler for shrink wrap and other plastics, you can reduce its volume by up to 90%. Plus, balers optimise time spent on waste disposal, free up valuable workspace, and reduce transportation costs.
