What is a Plastic Baler?
A Mil-tek plastic baler machine uses pneumatic or hydraulic systems to crush plastic material and compress it into dense and compact bales, that can easily be recycled.
Plastic baler machines manage your plastic waste
A plastic baler compresses plastic material into compact bales, making it much easier for businesses to store and dispose of unwanted plastic materials. Plastic balers don’t function as plastic bag balers only as they can process all types of plastic waste including LDPE (soft) plastic such as plastic wrap, bags and packaging and HDPE (hard) plastics including plastic bottles, containers and foam plastic. Therefore, for any company that produce any amount of plastic waste on a regular basis, a plastic baler would be a practical and efficient management option. Also, waste management costs will be reduced since waste collection services are required on a much less frequent basis.
Plastic recycling baler
Baling plastic is the best you can do to prepare it for recycling. A Mil-tek plastic baler can be used as a regular plastic baler for plastic packaging in general but also as a plastic bottle baler, if your company has big waste amounts consisting of single-use PET bottles. Compacted plastic bales are less dispersed and thus easier to sell, transport and recycle. And as we all know, recycling plastic is a good idea, environmentally speaking – for all of us, but especially for small and big companies producing plastic waste. A plastic recycling baler machine is therefore also a great solution for businesses that want to do their part in protecting the environment and achieve sustainability goals.
Operating a plastic baler
Plastic compactors are easy to operate, and it only requires some basic training to understand how they work. You simply feed the plastic baler with plastic waste continuously, pull the “press handle” and the machine compresses the plastic. When the chamber is full, you put strapping on manually and then bale out the dense plastic bale. For safety purposes, we always encourage to have a virtual or in-person demonstration from the supplier to ensure that safe operating procedures are followed.
