Singapore’s YCH Logistics achieved 91% container fill rates using the HBX-9000 horizontal press system – generating recyclate bales with quartz glass chips <0.03ppm to meet Japanese JIS Z 2801 standards while maintaining 22 tons/hr throughput.
Auto-tie horizontal balers dominate global waste exports with 980kN pressing force and ≤±1.5mm bale consistency. The Atlas BaleMaster reduces per-shipment costs by 38% through embedded HS code automation – vital as 85% Asian ports now require RFID-tracked waste shipments.
