Cardboard Bale Presses

Dizayn Makina Sanayi: Dizayn Makina Sanayi's recycling waste bale presses compress materials such as plastic, paper, cardboard, and similar items into regular bales under high pressure. This saves storage space and makes transportation and sending to recycling facilities much easier and more economical. These machines are produced in different capacities, with manual or automatic control options, significantly reducing waste management costs for businesses.

The dimensions of bale presses used in the recycling sector vary according to pressing force, hydraulic system capacity, pressing chamber volume, and the desired bale weight.
1. Pressing chamber dimensions
In common industrial models, the pressing chamber is approximately:
Width: 60–120 cm
Depth: 80–150 cm
Chamber180 cm
In higher capacity machines, chamber dimensions and feed opening can be designed larger.
2. Bale dimensions
Although bale dimensions vary by machine model, example bale dimensions are:
Model type
Approximate bale size
Small capacity
50 × 50 × 70 cm
Medium capacity
70 × 50 × 100 cm
High capacity
80 × 60 × 120 cm
Industrial models
100 × 70 × 150 cm and above
These are example dimensions; exact bale size is determined by the machine's mold/chamber design.
3. Machine external dimensions
External dimensions also vary by model. Generally:
Length: 2–5 meters
Width: 1–2.5 meters
Height: 1.8–3 meters
When automatic feeding, conveyor, bale tying system, or large hydraulic units are added, the total machine length may increase further.
4. Bale weight
Bale weight is not determined by size alone. The type of material and compression ratio are also very important.
For example, a bale of the same size may have different densities and weights depending on:
Cardboard
Plastic
PET bottles
Nylon
Paper
Therefore, when selecting a machine, not only the question "How many centimeters will the bale be?" but also hourly capacity, bale weight, and material type should be evaluated together.
