Plastic baling machine is a key equipment in the process of plastic recycling and processing, which is widely used in the compression and storage of waste plastics. EFFICIENT offers both vertical and horizontal balers, which are designed to help customers to improve the efficiency of waste treatment, save storage space, and lay a good foundation for subsequent transport and processing.

Uses of Baler Machines

Plastic balers are mainly used to compress and pack loose waste materials, reduce the volume of waste materials, and improve the convenience of transport and storage. The machine can pack the following materials:

• Plastic bottles, film materials, woven bags, and other plastics.
• Waste paper: cardboard, old newspapers, etc.
• Waste clothing, fabric trimmings, fiber materials, etc.
• Aluminium cans.
• Coconut husk.
• Straw.

Advantages of Plastic Baling Machinne

• Space-saving: effectively compresses the volume of waste material, saving storage and transport costs.
• Flexibility: machine size and baling specifications can be customized according to customer requirements.
• Multi-functionality: It can bale many kinds of materials such as plastics, waste paper, textiles, light metals, crop wastes, etc.
• Flexible choice: Vertical and horizontal designs are available to meet different site and output requirements.

Features of Vertical and Horizontal Balers

Vertical Plastic Baling Machine

• Small footprint, suitable for small to medium sized recycling plants with limited space.
• The machine has a simple structure, intuitive operation, and low maintenance costs.
• Suitable for compression packing of plastic bottles, films, and other lightweight materials.

Horizontal Plastic Baler

• Can be used with conveyor belt for easy feeding.
• High-capacity compression: larger quantities of waste can be processed at one time, making it suitable for large-scale recycling enterprises.
• Efficient operation: support continuous work, high degree of automation, save labor cost.

Working Principle of Plastic Baling Machine

The working principle of a hydraulic baling machine is based on hydraulic pressure transmission and mechanical compression. The detailed process is as follows:

Material Feeding

Waste plastic materials are fed into the compression chamber of the plastic baling machine through the feeding port.

Hydraulic Drive

The hydraulic system is activated, and hydraulic oil is pressurized by a hydraulic pump driven by a motor. The pressurized oil is then transferred to the hydraulic cylinder.

Material Compression

The hydraulic cylinder pushes the compression plate downward (for vertical balers) or forward (for horizontal balers), applying high pressure to the materials and compressing them into compact blocks.

Tying and Securing

After the compression is complete, the compacted material is secured with steel or plastic straps. Some balers are equipped with automatic strapping and tightening features.

Ejecting the Bale

Once the compression plate returns to its original position, the chamber door opens, and the compressed bale is automatically or manually ejected, completing the entire baling process.

Related Equipment – Bale Opener

A bale opener is used to break open compressed bales and release materials, such as plastic bottles, onto the recycling line. It ensures efficient feeding and preparation for further processing in systems like plastic bottle recycling lines.
