Did you know 11.3 million tons of textile waste end up in landfills annually? Our hydraulic balers¹ transform fabric scraps into compact, recyclable bales.

A textile recycling baler machine compresses fabric scraps, cotton waste, and clothing into dense bales for storage/transport. Horizontal balers offer 10-50 tons compaction force with 400-2000kg/hour capacity. Cost ranges $8,500-$65,000 depending on size and automation level. These machines reduce waste volume by 80%, making textile recycling economically viable. At Shunyin, we supply CE-certified balers with dual hydraulic cylinders and safety sensors.

Let’s examine key considerations – from machine selection to pricing – backed by 15 years of textile recycling equipment manufacturing experience.

What Machines Are Used in Textile Recycling?

Walking through our factory last week, I saw three essential machines processing 800kg of denim scraps hourly.

Primary textile recycling machines include: 1) Sorting conveyors ($3k-$15k) 2) Shredders ($22k-$80k) 3) Balers ($8.5k-$65k). Modern lines integrate metal sensors and PLC control systems. We recently upgraded a Los Angeles facility with: – 10m sorting belt with AI cameras – 50HP textile shredder – 40-ton horizontal baler achieving 650kg/m³ density.

Our engineers recommend combining S-300 Baler (40HP) with T-800 Shredder for cotton recycling – achieves 85% volume reduction at $0.11/kg processing cost.

How Much Does a Recycling Baler Cost?

When a Canadian buyer questioned our $42,500 quote last month, I explained 6 key cost factors.

New textile balers cost $8,500-$65,000. Semi-auto models average $28,000±15%. Fully automated lines reach $100k+. Second-hand units cost $6k-$45k but risk 27% higher maintenance fees. Our SHB-550 model (50-ton) includes: – Dual hydraulic system – PLC control panel – Automatic strapping – 2-year warranty. Price: $47,880 FOB Qingdao.

What Is a Textile Baler?

During our Mumbai installation, technicians emphasized three critical baler components to operators.

A textile baler compacts fabric waste into rectangular bales using hydraulic pressure (20-100 tons). Standard models produce 500-800kg bales measuring 1100x800x600mm. Our S600 model features: – 3000PSI pump – 150mm cylinder diameter – 8mm steel plates. Watch video demo: sybalingmachine.com/textile-baler-video

Bailer vs Baler – What’s the Difference?

A US customer mistakenly ordered "bailers" – we shipped water pumps instead of compactors. Terminology matters!

"Baler" refers to compaction machinery, while "bailer" describes water-removal equipment or legal bonds. Textile industry uses "baler" exclusively. We’ve seen 23% of RFQs contain this spelling error. Confirm machine type before purchasing.
