Cardboard baling press YG series

for paperfor plasticsfor waste

Overview
For small factories, warehouses or recycling yards processing loose cardboard, plastic film or agricultural straw, the horizontal baler YG series compacts loose material into dense bales. Material is loaded into a hopper and a hydraulic ram pushes it into the baling chamber where the bale is bound by wire or strapping. Compared with vertical balers, horizontal balers handle higher volumes, operate with continuous feed and produce denser bales suitable for multi-ton daily throughput operations.

How it works
A hopper receives loose material. A hydraulic cylinder compresses the material into the baling chamber. After compression the bale is tied (manual or auto-tie) and discharged, producing compact units that lower storage and transport volume.

Benefits

• Reduce transport cost per ton: Increasing bale density lowers truck space and freight cost per ton.
• Save labor time: Auto-tie systems and PLC controls reduce operator interventions and tying time.
• Lower energy draw: Servo-driven or demand-adjusting hydraulic systems cut power consumption at idle and during partial loads.

Beginner avoid-mistake tip
Do not choose a small vertical baler solely because daily waste seems low. Materials that rebound (for example PET bottles) require the compaction force and design features of a horizontal unit—such as a lifting door or anti-rebound hooks—to maintain bale density and stability.

Success story (condensed)
A small recycling yard replaced manual tying and small machines with a horizontal baler equipped with a lifting-door design. Four-worker full-day tasks became a single operator working two hours; bale density tripled and savings on freight and labor covered the machine cost in six months.

FAQ (selected)

• Can I use the same machine for cardboard and plastic bottles? Yes, but select the appropriate door/options. Cardboard compresses easily; plastics that spring back need lifting doors, anti-rebound hooks or other options to maintain compression.
• Is daily maintenance difficult for new operators? No. Key routines: check hydraulic oil level, clear the auto-tie track of debris, and grease moving joints on schedule.
• Can we set up the machine remotely if we are far from the factory? Yes. Machines are factory-tested before shipping; remote video assistance and wiring diagrams are commonly provided. Main onsite tasks include power connection and hydraulic oil filling.
