Plastic Bottles

PET, commonly used for beverage bottles, is also found in e.g. drinking cups and small food packaging.

To optimize compaction, ensure PET bottles are perforated or have their caps removed to eliminate excess air. Place cardboard at the top and bottom of the bale to enhance stability.

Plastic Containers

Plastic containers or high-density bottles are commonly used for food and liquid cleaners.

To compact these plastic containers effectively, pre-perforate or remove caps to minimize air content. Use cardboard layers for smaller items to enhance bale stability.

Plastic Barrels

Utilized across various sectors for storing commodities like powders and liquids, plastic barrels can be individually pressed or baled using our X-series machines. Consult us for tailored advice.

Depending on your use case, compressing one barrel at a time with a drum press may be the safer, more convenient option. Learn more about the DP16 here.
