Plastic Balers

Use a plastic baler to condense the plastic waste your business produces and save space, time, and money. A plastic waste baler can be used to compress soft and hard types of plastics together to form bales. These are easier to store, transport, and recycle than loose bits of plastic trash.

Plastic balers can be used to manage and recycle many types of waste, including plastic bottles, bubble wrap, zip locks, bags, food packaging, and more. A baler makes recycling plastic more efficient as it significantly reduces the volume of the material and requires less space on site compared to dumpsters.

At Business Waste, we can provide a wide range of plastic balers for your organization. Various types and sizes are available to make managing your commercial waste plastic simple and affordable. Get a free quote for a plastic baler for your business today – call 888 584 2118 or contact us online.

Plastic recycling balers

A plastic recycling baler compacts plastic waste materials together into a solid bale. They work similarly to other recycling balers with a hydraulic-powered ram, compaction chamber, and platen for compression that applies tons of pressure to condense the waste. The bales are then easier to store, transport, and recycle.

It’s important that only plastic materials are fed into a plastic recycling baler machine. This reduces the risk of contamination and ensures as much as possible is recycled. The size, power, and type of plastic recycling baler affect the size of the bale it produces.

Plastic recycling balers can accommodate any color of hard and soft types of plastic materials. They’re ideal for packaging manufacturers, retail stores, hospitality, and other industries that produce high volumes of plastic waste. You can use them to bale everything from empty plastic bottles to food packaging, plastic sheets, and other items.

Types and sizes of 
plastic baler machines

Various types and sizes of plastic baler machines are available to suit the needs of all businesses. This includes everything from a small plastic baler ideal for a store that produces minimal amounts of plastic packaging to large balers for factories and manufacturers that create high volumes of waste plastic.

The type and size of the plastic baler machine affect the dimensions and weight of the bales it produces. The pressure ton applied also varies across balers, which impacts the volume of plastic materials it can handle and how densely compressed it will be.

Available space on your site and the amount of plastic waste your organization generates help determine suitable baler types and sizes. A key consideration is whether you need a vertical or horizontal plastic baler machine. Horizontal plastic balers have a greater capacity but take up more space, while vertical plastic balers are more compact.

These are some of the main kinds of balers for plastics:

  • Horizontal plastic balers – these are large balers that can handle high volumes of waste plastic to create big bales. They’re ideal for manufacturers, factories, and businesses that generate lots of plastic waste and have space for big balers.
  • Vertical plastic balers – a vertical plastic baler is more compact and efficient for businesses with limited space, but that still produce plenty of waste plastic. They still have a large capacity and power, but may produce smaller bales. Suitable for plastic bottles and soft plastics.
  • Two ram plastic balers – these are horizontal balers designed to process huge volumes of plastic recycling. They have greater compression power than single ram balers to produce denser bales and process more resistant materials more easily. This makes them suitable for PET and HDPE plastic waste.

Plastic baler hire

Hiring a plastic baler for your business is a great way to manage lots of plastic waste you produce, from plastic wrap and sheets to packaging materials, bottles, and more. Select a suitable type and size of plastic baler with a capacity and dimensions ideal for your site.

Then combine the usage of the baler with an efficient collection frequency that’s cost-effective. Using a baler significantly reduces the volume of plastic trash and how often you require collections, which affects your costs. Plastic baler hire can also be more flexible and affordable than buying the machines outright.

Conducting a waste audit is a good way to determine your requirements for plastic baler hire. It can help work out the best type and size of baler and frequency of collections. Organize collections of plastic bales on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly basis. One of our team will happily help if you need a hand.
