Plastic manufacturers, packaging companies, and facilities that handle large volumes of packaging materials generate significant amounts of recyclable waste every day. Plastic film, rigid plastics, foam, corrugated cardboard, and production scrap can quickly accumulate, reducing valuable floor space and increasing disposal costs if not managed efficiently.
Baleforce supplies industrial balers and recycling equipment designed to help plastics and packaging operations recover valuable materials, improve recycling efficiency, and reduce waste handling costs. Whether you manufacture plastic products, produce packaging materials, or process post-industrial plastic waste, we can help you find the right equipment for your operation.
Our equipment solutions include Two-Ram Balers, Auto-Tie Balers, Closed Door Horizontal Balers, Foam Balers, EPS Densifiers, and Vertical Balers.
Benefits of Balers for Plastics & Packaging Businesses
The right recycling equipment can improve productivity while reducing waste handling costs.
Recover More Recyclable Material
Produce dense, market-ready bales that are easier to transport and sell.
Reduce Storage Requirements
Compacting lightweight materials dramatically reduces the amount of floor space required for waste storage.
Lower Transportation Costs
Dense bales reduce hauling frequency and improve transportation efficiency.
Improve Facility Organization
Removing loose plastic and packaging materials helps maintain cleaner production environments.
Support Sustainability Goals
Effective recycling programs reduce landfill waste and help companies meet environmental commitments.
Waste Challenges in Plastics & Packaging Facilities
Plastics and packaging operations often generate multiple recyclable waste streams throughout production and distribution. Efficiently managing these materials is essential for maintaining productivity, maximizing storage space, and recovering recyclable value.
Common challenges include:
- Plastic film and shrink wrap accumulation
- Rigid plastic production scrap
- Foam packaging waste
- Expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste
- Corrugated cardboard and shipping materials
- Limited storage space for recyclable materials
- Rising disposal and transportation costs
- Meeting sustainability and recycling objectives
The right baling equipment helps convert loose materials into dense, manageable bales that are easier to store, transport, and recycle.
Recommended Balers for Plastics & Packaging Operations
Different material types require different recycling solutions depending on production volume and operational requirements.
Two Ram Balers for Multi-Material Plastic Recycling
Two Ram Balers are ideal for facilities processing multiple recyclable materials, including plastics, cardboard, and packaging waste.
These balers are commonly used in:
- Plastic manufacturing facilities
- Packaging plants
- Material recovery operations
- Industrial recycling centres
Benefits include:
- Processes multiple material types
- Produces dense, consistent bales
- Handles high production volumes
- Reliable operation in demanding environments
Auto-Tie Balers for High-Volume Packaging Facilities
For facilities producing large quantities of recyclable materials, Auto-Tie Balers provide automated, continuous operation.
These systems are ideal for:
- High-output packaging manufacturers
- Plastic processing facilities
- Large production plants
- Distribution operations
Benefits include:
- Automated bale tying
- Continuous processing
- High throughput
- Reduced labour requirements
- Consistent bale quality
Closed Door Horizontal Balers for Cardboard & Packaging Waste
Many plastics and packaging facilities also generate significant volumes of cardboard and corrugated packaging materials.
Closed Door Horizontal Balers efficiently process:
- Corrugated cardboard
- Shipping cartons
- Packaging materials
- Mixed paper products
Benefits include:
- Continuous feeding capability
- High-density bale production
- Efficient handling of packaging waste
- Reduced storage requirements
Foam Balers & EPS Densifiers for Lightweight Materials
Expanded foam materials can occupy large amounts of storage space despite weighing very little.
Baleforce offers specialized equipment for these materials, including:
- Foam Balers for expanded foam packaging
- EPS Densifiers for expanded polystyrene (EPS)
Materials Commonly Recycled in Plastics & Packaging Facilities
Baleforce equipment is designed to process a wide variety of recyclable materials, including:
- Plastic film
- Shrink wrap
- Rigid plastics
- PET containers
- HDPE materials
- Corrugated cardboard
- Packaging materials
- Foam packaging
- Expanded polystyrene (EPS)
- Production scrap
Compacting these materials into dense bales improves storage efficiency and helps maximize recycling value.
FAQs
What type of baler is best for plastic recycling?
The best baler depends on the types and volumes of plastic being processed. Two ram balers are ideal for multiple material streams, while specialty equipment may be recommended for foam or EPS.
Can balers process plastic film and shrink wrap?
Yes. Baleforce equipment is designed to efficiently process plastic film, shrink wrap, and many other recyclable plastic materials.
What equipment is used for expanded polystyrene (EPS)?
