Taipei’s plastic recyclers increased container load efficiency by 127% using HS-2800 auto balers – reducing warehouse footprint from 3,200m² to 780m² while maintaining 99.2% material purity under ISO 14065 standards.
Auto hydraulic horizontal balers cut plastic waste storage costs by 38-41% through intelligent compaction cycles. The BalerMaster Pro achieves 820kN adaptive pressure with 0.03kWh/kg energy efficiency – critical as global resin prices fluctuate 22% monthly.
