Reduce Logistics Costs with Horizontal Baling Presses

The Importance of Volume Reduction in Recycling Facilities

In recycling facilities, the volume of recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper, plastic, and metal is the biggest determinant of storage and transportation costs. Uncompressed waste occupies large storage areas and inefficiently utilizes transport vehicle capacity. The horizontal baling press is the most effective industrial equipment solving this problem.

MT Makina horizontal baling presses dramatically reduce logistics expenses by compressing waste volume by eighty to ninety percent. Compressed bales stack neatly, use less storage space, and allow more material to be loaded per transport vehicle. This can translate to savings of up to seventy-five percent in total logistics costs.

How Does a Horizontal Baling Press Work?

The horizontal baling press compresses material entering through the feed opening on a horizontal plane using hydraulic cylinders to produce dense rectangular bales. After compression is complete, the automatic wire tying system secures the bale with steel wires. The finished bale is pushed out through the exit door and the next cycle begins.

The operating cycle is fully automatic. The operator only prepares material during the feeding stage; all remaining operations are managed by the PLC control system.

MT Makina YB-50 Series Technical Specifications

The MT Makina YB-50 series horizontal baling press delivers high performance across a wide range of materials with fifty tons pressing force. The seven hundred fifty by seven hundred fifty millimeter bale size is compatible with standard pallet dimensions. Fifteen kilowatt motor power balances energy efficiency with high pressing force.

With a thirty-second cycle time, capacity of one point five to three tons per hour is achieved. Bale weight varies between two hundred fifty and five hundred kilograms depending on material type.

Automatic Wire Tying System

One of the most important features of MT Makina horizontal baling presses is the automatic wire tying system. Three to five high-strength steel wires automatically bind the bale. This feature completely eliminates manual wire-tying labor and significantly increases production continuity.

Capacity Across Different Materials

The horizontal baling press achieves different capacities with different material types. Approximately one point five tons per hour for cardboard, two tons for mixed waste, and up to three tons per hour for newspaper. MT Makina provides technical support for optimized press settings for different material combinations.

Energy Efficiency and Operating Costs

MT Makina horizontal baling presses are designed with energy efficiency focus. Fifteen kilowatt motor power provides reasonable energy consumption during eight-hour daily operation. Total operating costs remain well below the sales revenue of baled materials and saved transportation expenses.

Line Integration and Automation

The horizontal baling press integrates easily into existing recycling lines. Automatic feeding through Z-type or chain conveyors makes the operation fully autonomous. The PLC control system with remote fault diagnosis enables fast maintenance support.

Transportation and Storage Advantages

Baled material occupies eighty to ninety percent less space compared to uncompressed material. This enables loading four to five times more material per transport vehicle. Reduced trips result in significant savings in fuel costs, vehicle wear, and carbon emissions. Standard bale dimensions are compatible with buyer factory requirements and can be used directly as raw material.

Conclusion

The horizontal baling press is one of the keys to profitability in recycling facilities. MT Makina's YB-50 series is the industry's reliable solution with high pressing force, automatic wire tying, energy efficiency, and easy integration.
