Waste Plastic Bag Recycling

In our daily life, we can see all kind of plastic bags everywhere. Plastic bag almost becomes one part of our life. Surely it brings a lot of convenience to our life; however this convenience also causes long time harm to our earth and human beings. We call this kind of disaster as “White Pollution”.

Plastic bags are not only creating visual pollution to people as they can be easily seen scattered around the city streets, in the tourist area, water, roads and railways, but they also create potential harm. Plastic’s structure is very stable and it is difficult to be degraded by natural microbial. It will exist in the natural environment for long term without degradation. This means if we do not collect the waste plastic bags properly and recycles, they will become the contaminant in the environment and accumulate as time goes by and create great harm to environment.

Landfill for the plastic bags actually is not a good way because the plastic bags take up a great number of land, the land which were taken up cannot get recovered, thus affect the sustainable utilization. The plastic bags under the land will need around 200 years to degrade according to expert.

Baling machine is helpful equipment for recycling waste plastic bags. It can compact your large volume of plastic bags into small and uniform dense bales, thus reducing the waste storage space and saving transportation cost, also easy for recycling. Many models are available from Sinobaler for handling all range of waste plastic bags, including vertical baler and horizontal baler, automatic baler and semi-automatic baler.

Baler or Compactor, which one is right for you?

If your business involves regular handling of waste material, a waste compactor or a baler can help make your task much easier. What’s the difference between a compactor and a baler? How can you determine which one suits your needs the best? Here is a comparison to help you choose the right machine:

Material Type:
Compactors are used to compress a large amount of unsorted mixed waste into a contained area to be picked up and collected by waste collector and further delivered to landfill.
Balers are for compressing recyclable materials sorted from general waste stream, such as paper, cardboard, plastics, metal etc., into dense and regularly shaped bales for further recycling and reuse.

Destination:
Waste recyclers may prefer to receive recyclable materials in a specific weight and/or size. Transportation of dense bales is cost-effective. Baler is the right choice in this case.
If a trash collector is picking up the finished units, larger loads from a compactor are preferred.

In general, a baler is used to bale or bundle recyclable material such as cardboard, paper, plastics, metal etc., for resale to a recycling company. A compactor is simply used to reduce the volume of trash before being picked up by a hauling company.

With the right understanding of the two machines, you can decide which machine is the correct one for your business. SINOBALER is a specialized manufacturer of a wide range of balers, and if you need balers, please feel free to contact our Sales Representative at info@sinobaler.com for more information.

Things to keep in mind on how to choose a right baler

When going through the process of choosing the right baler for your business, here are a few pointers:

Safety First
It is important to consider baler safety features when you choose the right baler for your application. Ask the following questions to your baler manufacturer firstly:
Does the manufacturer provide additional warranty or guarantee production values?
Is training service provided for operators and maintenance personnel after installation?
Is the machine with clear safety warning marks?
Are all the rotation parts protected with safety equipments?
Will the machine be shipped via seaworthy package for safety transportation?

Be sure that the manufacturer provides you the baler which is simple and safe to operate.

Weather conditions
Where will you run the baler? Inside the warehouse or in the open air where is without any protection to keep away from rainwater? If it is the former, you still need to consider the affect will be caused by the maximum temperature during summer. The hydraulic system is especially sensitive to the high temperature. So you should always keep in mind that the high quality cooling system is extremely important to keep baler running at peak performance under hot weather.

While if you run the baler outdoors without any cover, make sure the components are with higher IP grade, especially the important hydraulic and electrical parts, such as the motor, pump, field terminal assembly, etc.

Energy consumption
Environmental protection and energy conservation are the theme of the world today. The baler now is playing an important role in waste recycling area. It takes its responsibility for the global environmental protection like all other recycling equipments. At the same time, energy consumption issue is also getting more and more attention. So when you choose a baler, don’t forget to find out the optimal power you want your baler to be.

Space
When you choose a baler, you need to know how much space you can provide for it. Usually, vertical balers are good choice to run in supermarkets, grocery stores, department stores, pharmacies, small factories, vessels, offices, etc. While for the big recycling plants, distribution centers, etc, horizontal balers are more suitable for pressing large volume waste.

Investment and Return on Investment
The most important and ultimate aim to use the machine instead of human today is to improve work capacity and get max return on investment. Saving labor cost means you get disguised return on investment directly. While maximizing throughput speeds up the process to get return on investment. When you decide to recycle large volume waste, a fully automatic horizontal baler is an ideal choice for you to get return on investment in a shorter time than vertical type, it does great job in both saving labor cost and maximize the throughput rate. Its fully automatic tying system, PLC control, automatic material feeding system, etc, all of these make it outstanding among all baler types. While for small factories and departments, etc where they need to handle the daily waste, vertical balers are more worth of investment to your business.

Baled Material's Characteristics
The characteristics of the materials to be baled also plays an important role in determining the size and type of baler to purchase, such as expansion rate, retention rate, hollowness, density, dissipation, etc. Choosing a particular baler model, such as cardboard baler versus bottle baler, is largely based on the specific material that will be received and how it will be most efficiently processed.
While a cardboard baler lends itself better to baling paper products such as OCC, carton waste or printer’s waste, bottle baler works best on products such as plastic bottles or aluminum containers which with odd shapes, low compressibility or high memory retention.

Maintenance
A low maintenance cost is critical to selecting the latest baler in their processing operation. Low maintenance means no specialized or customized parts. A baler with standardized hydraulic and electrical components makes you find the local replacements conveniently. You can go into any hydraulic shop or electrical supply house and get parts for it when you do not want to call the manufacturer and have the replacements delivered by air next day.

If you have any questions or comments while choosing right baler, please remember SinoBaler is always ready for assistance.
