Waste piles eating profits? Contamination woes? Proper baling1 transforms plastic headaches into revenue overnight.
Balers compress plastic waste into dense, transport-ready bales using hydraulic pressure, enabling efficient recycling – sort materials by type, operate temperature-controlled cycles, and achieve 10:1 volume reduction for maximum resale value and environmental compliance.

How Do You Bale Plastic Efficiently?
Struggling with slow processing? Japanese facilities doubled speed after optimizing these methods.
Effective plastic baling requires sorting PET/LDPE/HDPE, pre-shredding bulky items, maintaining 70-90℃ chamber temps, applying progressive pressure cycles, and securing bales with auto-tie systems – our SY-PET Series achieves consistent 800kg bales with just 15-minute cycles.
Optimized compression techniques
Canadian processors gained 40% density after retraining staff.
Material-specific settings
| Plastic Type | Force Required | Cycle Time | Temperature | Density Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PET bottles | 120-150 tons | 12-20 min | 85℃ | 720kg/m³ |
| LDPE film | 50-70 tons | 8-15 min | 75℃ | 550kg/m³ |
| HDPE scraps | 140-180 tons | 15-25 min | 90℃ | 820kg/m³ |
| Mixed plastic | 90-110 tons | 20-30 min | 80℃ | 650kg/m³ |
