A customer in Tajikistan purchased an SL-800 plastic crusher and an SL-60 vertical hydraulic baler for waste plastic recycling. The customer needed practical equipment to reduce the size of waste plastic and compress the processed material for easier storage, handling, and transportation.
For plastic recycling businesses, loose waste plastic can take up considerable space and be difficult to transport efficiently. Crushing and baling provide a simple way to improve material handling and prepare plastic for further recycling or sale.
Customer’s Main Requirements
The customer was mainly looking for equipment that could:
- Crush waste plastic efficiently for recycling.
- Handle a relatively large amount of material.
- Compress plastic into compact bales.
- Reduce storage and transportation space.
- Work with the local 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase power supply.
- Provide a practical solution with straightforward operation.
Based on these requirements, the plastic crusher and vertical hydraulic baler were selected as a matched equipment combination.
Shuliy Plastic Recycling Solution
Shuliy supplied two main machines for the customer’s plastic recycling operation:
- SL-800 Plastic Crusher – for crushing waste plastic into smaller pieces.
- SL-60 Vertical Hydraulic Baler – for compressing loose plastic into compact bales.
The two machines serve different stages of material handling. The crusher reduces the size of waste plastic, while the hydraulic baler compresses the processed material to make storage and transportation more convenient.
SL-800 Plastic Crusher
The SL-800 plastic crusher is designed for high-volume plastic crushing applications. It uses a combination of moving and fixed blades to cut waste plastic into smaller pieces.
Main Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | SL-800 |
| Power | 22 kW |
| Capacity | 800–1000 kg/h |
| Total Blades | 10 |
| Moving Blades | 6 |
| Fixed Blades | 4 |
| Voltage | 380V, 50Hz, 3 Phase |
| Machine Size | 1400 × 2200 × 2050 mm |
| Machine Weight | 1300 kg |
The 10-blade cutting system consists of 6 moving blades and 4 fixed blades, providing a suitable configuration for continuous plastic crushing.
With a capacity of 800–1000 kg/h, the SL-800 suits relatively high-volume waste plastic recycling applications.
SL-60 Vertical Hydraulic Baler
After crushing, loose plastic can still occupy a large volume. The SL-60 vertical hydraulic baler uses hydraulic pressure to compress the material into compact bales.
Main Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | SL-60 |
| Type | Vertical Hydraulic Baler |
| Hydraulic Cylinders | 2 |
| Motor Power | 15 kW |
| Pump | 63 Gear Pump |
| Cylinder Diameter | 125 mm |
| Bale Size | 1120 × 600 mm |
| Machine Size | 3000 × 900 × 2200 mm |
| Machine Weight | 1200 kg |
| Voltage | 380V, 50Hz, 3 Phase |
The two-cylinder hydraulic system provides the compression force required to form compact bales. The 1120 × 600 mm bale size is suitable for organized storage and transportation of processed plastic.
Plastic Crushing and Baling Process
The equipment combination provides a straightforward plastic recycling workflow:
Waste Plastic → Plastic Crushing → Material Collection → Hydraulic Baling → Storage / Transportation → Further Recycling
First, waste plastic is fed into the SL-800 plastic crusher. The crusher reduces the material into smaller pieces, making it easier to handle and prepare for the next stage.
The processed plastic can then be collected and fed into the SL-60 vertical hydraulic baler. The baler compresses the loose material into compact bales, helping reduce the space required for storage and transportation.
Why Combine a Plastic Crusher with a Hydraulic Baler?
Using crushing and baling equipment together can improve material handling efficiency.
- Smaller Material Size
- The plastic crusher reduces bulky waste plastic into smaller pieces, making the material easier to handle and prepare for subsequent recycling processes.
- More Convenient Storage
- Loose plastic can occupy a large amount of space. Hydraulic compression turns the material into compact bales, helping organize the recycling area.
- Easier Transportation
- Compact bales are easier to stack, load, and transport compared with loose plastic materials.
- A Practical Recycling Equipment Combination
- The crusher and baler perform complementary functions. The crusher focuses on size reduction, while the baler focuses on compression and material handling.
Equipment Configuration for the Tajikistan Customer
| Equipment | Model | Main Function | Capacity / Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic Crusher | SL-800 | Waste plastic crushing | 800–1000 kg/h |
| Vertical Hydraulic Baler | SL-60 | Plastic compression and baling | 1120 × 600 mm bale |
Both machines are configured for 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase power, matching the customer’s specified electrical requirements.
Plastic Recycling Equipment for Tajikistan
This project demonstrates a practical equipment combination for waste plastic processing in Tajikistan. Instead of handling loose plastic throughout the entire operation, the customer can first reduce the material size with the crusher and then compress it with the hydraulic baler.
The final equipment configuration can be adjusted according to the customer’s plastic material, required capacity, available power supply, bale size, and subsequent recycling process.
