Used Carpet



Most of the carpets are petroleum-based product. It includes those made from synthetic materials such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester and are backed with latex, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane. According to the data provided by www.informinc.org, every year there are 4 billion pounds of carpet being discarded in the United States. Owing to its bulky property, carpet poses waste management problems because it consumes enormous amounts of landfill space. Incineration of discarded carpet is also not a recommended method because it releases toxic chemicals, including dioxin, into the air. All these facts make carpet recycling a must.

As mentioned earlier, carpet is bulky. Therefore, at the beginning stage of carpet recycling, a baler or baling machine is usually used to compact these bulky used carpets into bales before shipping to carpet recyclers to work on the recycling process. And in order to well compact such bulky and heavy carpet, you will need a heavy duty balers to help you achieve the ideal baling effect.

SINOBALER recommends our Heavy Duty Dual Ram Baler for compressing used carpets into dense, regular shaped bales. This baler series are designed with high press force, from 80tons to 200tons, built in a heavy duty way with high strength, and features dual ram structure.

There are two standard chamber sizes available, which are 1100 x 700mm (43” x 28”) and 1520 x 760mm (60” x 30”). Considering carpets are bulky, it is suggested to go with 1520 x 760mm (60” x 30”). Bigger chamber size means wider feed opening which can make loading more convenient and efficient. As for what compressing force you should choose, it largely depends on your bale weight requirement and budget. Generally speaking, for machines with the same chamber size, the higher the compressing force, the higher the bale density will be. Higher bale density enables you to load more weight into containers and thus save more on shipping cost.

If the standard models cannot meet your requirement very well, customization is always available to tailor a machine that best suits your specific baling needs. Contact us today for your baling solution.
