What Is a Plastic Baler?
A Mil-tek plastic baler is designed to use pneumatic power to crush plastic materials and compress them into tightly packed, dense bales. These compact bundles are easy to handle, transport, and recycle, making plastic disposal more efficient and sustainable.
Streamline Your Plastic Trash Management
Plastic balers are designed to compress loose plastic into dense, stackable blocks, freeing up valuable storage space and simplifying removal. Far from being limited to bagged plastics, these machines handle a variety of plastic materials—from soft LDPE (soft) plastics like stretch film, bags, and product packaging to rigid HDPE (hard) plastics such as bottles, tubs, and foam components. For businesses that regularly generate plastic trash, a baler offers an easy, cost-saving solution. By reducing the volume of material that needs to be collected, companies can cut down on the frequency—and expense—of trash pickups, all while improving space and workplace efficiency.
Plastic Recycling Balers
Compressing plastic into bales is one of the most effective ways to prepare it for recycling. A Mil-tek plastic baler can handle a wide range of packaging materials and can also function as a bottle baler for companies dealing with large volumes of single-use PET bottles. By creating tightly packed bales, the material becomes easier to store, transport, sell, and ultimately recycle. Recycling plastic isn’t just good for the planet—it’s also a smart move for businesses of any size that produce plastic trash. Investing in a plastic recycling baler helps companies reduce their environmental footprint while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
How to Operate a Plastic Baler
Plastic balers are straightforward to use, and most people can master them after only brief, basic training. To operate, you simply load the plastic baler with plastic trash as needed, engage the press handle, and let the baler compress the material. Once the chamber reaches capacity, you manually apply the strapping and eject a tightly packed bale of plastic. For maximum safety, it’s always best to request a demonstration—either virtually or in-person—from the equipment supplier. This ensures your team is familiar with proper operating procedures and can work confidently while minimizing risk.
