Project Background: Recycling Operation in Cali, Colombia

A local recycling company based in Cali, Colombia, focuses on processing cardboard, plastic packaging, and light industrial waste. With the rapid growth of e-commerce and the food industry, the volume of packaging waste has increased significantly.

However, the client faced a common challenge: loose materials taking up excessive space, leading to high transportation costs and inefficient handling.

In many cases, local recyclers still rely on manual compression or outdated equipment, which limits both efficiency and business scalability.

Typical Customer Profile

This client represents a common type of recycling operator in Latin America:

• Small to medium-sized recycling yard

• Limited working space

• Daily processing capacity of 2–4 tons

• Reliance on manual or low-efficiency methods

• Looking to reduce logistics costs and improve productivity

• Budget-conscious investment approach

Our Solution

Based on the actual working conditions, we recommended a 25-ton vertical hydraulic baler as a practical and cost-effective solution.

Key specifications:

• Press force: 25 tons

• Bale size: approx. 1080 × 700 mm (adjustable height)

• Bale weight: 60–120 kg

• Output: 6–8 bales per hour

• Motor power: 7.5 kW

• Cycle time: approx. 30 seconds

This machine is particularly suitable for light and loose materials such as cardboard and plastic films.

 Results After Implementation

After installation, the client observed:

• Volume reduction of up to 70%

• Improved loading efficiency per shipment

• Reduced labor dependency

• Better utilization of available space

In practice, the value of this type of machine lies not only in performance, but in its ability to consistently reduce operating costs over time.

 Why the Client Chose Us

After comparing several suppliers, the client selected our solution due to:

• Simple and reliable machine structure

• Flexibility in voltage and configuration customization

• Clear operation guidance and remote support

• Competitive pricing with strong cost-performance ratio

 Our Strengths

With over 40 years of manufacturing experience in hydraulic machinery, we focus on delivering practical and reliable solutions:

• In-house factory with stable production capacity

• Experienced engineering team for customization

• Flexible configurations (bale size, pressure, system setup)

• Certified with CE and ISO9001

• Long-term technical support and after-sales service

 Project Summary

This project reflects a typical scenario in emerging markets—balancing cost and efficiency through the right equipment choice.

For many small and medium-sized recycling businesses, the goal is not to invest in the largest machine, but to choose one that truly fits their operational needs.
