If you are running a high-volume recycling plant, you know that equipment downtime and low processing capacity can bottleneck your entire operation. This was the exact challenge faced by a prominent plastic recycling facility located in Jalisco, Mexico. Handling a massive influx of post-consumer plastic bottles, their legacy baling equipment simply couldn't keep up with production demands and was plagued by frequent mechanical failures.
To resolve these operational bottlenecks and comply with Mexico’s tightening environmental frameworks, the client partnered with ENERPAT to install the heavy-duty HBM120-110130 closed door horizontal plastic bottle baler.
In Jalisco’s competitive recycling market, processing efficiency dictates profitability. The client’s existing setup fell short on throughput, leading to material backlogs and skyrocketing labor costs. With a target processing volume of 2 tons of PET bottles per hour, they needed a robust, automated plastic bottle baling machine capable of continuous, high-density compaction.
Beyond operational hurdles, legal compliance provided a massive push. Under Mexico's Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos (LGPGIR), plastic packaging and PET bottles are strictly classified as Residuos de manejo especial (Special Management Waste). This regulatory framework mandates that large-scale waste generators and processors implement structured management plans, prove the legal traceability of materials, and minimize landfill footprint through volume reduction.
To maintain compliance and significantly cut regional logistics expenses, investing in a high-performance plastic press machine became an absolute priority.
After analyzing the customer's material stream and hourly targets, ENERPAT supplied the HBM120-110130 Closed Door Horizontal Baler. This system is specifically configured for resilient materials like PET and HDPE, utilizing an explicit engineering setup tailored for rigid plastics.
Technical Specifications of the Installed System:
Press Force: 120 Tons
Bale Size (W x H): 1100 × 1300 mm
Bale Weight: 1150–1250 kgs per bale
Main Motor: 37 kW
System Capacity: Up to 6 bales per hour (Meeting the 2 tons/hour target)
Machine Dimensions (L x W x H): 10 × 1.85 × 3.5 meters
The heavy-duty hydraulically operated closed-door design ensures that maximum compaction force is held until the cycle completes. This produces extremely dense, square, and stackable bales weighing up to 1250 kg. This structural rigidity allows the client to maximize container loading weights, driving down transport costs across Mexico.
The turning point in the client's decision-making process came down to direct physical verification and localized support. After meeting the ENERPAT team at a major industrial trade show, the client visited one of our regional reference sites to see our horizontal waste balers operating under real-world, high-stress conditions.
Seeing the structural build quality, combined with ENERPAT's distinct local aftermarket advantages—including rapid spare parts availability from our dedicated US and Mexico warehouses—gave the client complete confidence. They weren’t just buying a pet bottle baler machine; they were investing in a long-term operational insurance policy backed by British technology and local North American logistics support.
The system is currently undergoing final optimization on-site in Jalisco, seamlessly integrating into the plant’s automated sorting lines to hit its 2 tons per hour operational target.
Whether you need to boost your hourly throughput or ensure strict compliance with regional environmental frameworks, ENERPAT delivers engineered compaction solutions that lower transport costs and eliminate operational downtime.
