In Ghana’s rapidly growing recycling sector, PET bottles remain one of the most common and challenging materials to handle. Many recycling yards, waste collection centers, and small-to-medium recovery facilities face the same issue: large volumes of loose PET bottles occupying valuable space, increasing handling costs, and reducing transport efficiency. When PET bottles are not compacted properly, recyclers often end up paying more for storage and logistics than necessary.
The Challenge: Low Density, High Costs
In many Ghanaian recycling operations, PET bottles are collected manually and stored in loose form or lightly compacted bundles. This creates several pain points:
-
Excessive storage space required for lightweight materials
-
Higher transport costs due to low bale density
-
Increased labor time for repeated handling
-
Difficulty meeting buyer requirements for consistent bale size and weight
For recycling businesses aiming to scale operations or improve margins, inefficient compaction quickly becomes a bottleneck.
Application Scenario: PET Bottle Recycling in Ghana
The Y82-63 Vertical Hydraulic Baler has proven to be a practical solution for recycling facilities processing PET bottles, cardboard, OCC, and aluminum cans. Designed for manual feeding and manual tying, this model is especially suitable for Ghana’s recycling environment, where labor availability is good and power supply stability is an important consideration.
Installed in small to mid-sized recycling yards, transfer stations, or urban collection centers, the Y82-63 allows operators to convert loose PET bottles into dense, uniform bales that are easy to stack, store, and transport.
The Solution: A Balanced 63-Ton Compaction System
With a 63-ton pressing force, the Y82-63 offers a strong balance between compaction performance and operating cost. Compared with smaller vertical balers, it produces significantly denser bales; compared with larger machines, it keeps investment and power consumption at a reasonable level.
As a result, recycling operators can:
-
Increase bale density and load more material per truck
-
Reduce warehouse space usage
-
Improve overall material turnover speed
-
Deliver more consistent bales to downstream buyers
