Balers for special waste are a concrete answer to one of the most underestimated problems of modern industry and logistics: the management of bulky materials. It must be taken into account, in fact, that they are difficult to dispose of and often, moreover, are a source of hidden costs.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS), expired or damaged bottles and unemptied containers are all waste that slow down processes, take up valuable space and generate inefficiencies. Especially if their disposal is done manually or through poorly developed systems.
With the solutions proposed by Effe3Ti, it is possible to transform this waste into tidy, compact and easily recyclable flows. In this article, you will discover two highly specialized waste presses: Styropress, perfect for compacting EPS into high-density briquettes; and Liquidrainer, designed for the automatic emptying of bottles and containers with residual liquids.
Two different machines, a common goal: simplify disposal and optimize every phase of the supply chain.
Why are balers needed for special waste?
Balers for special waste are designed to treat materials that are difficult to dispose of with conventional systems. Expanded polystyrene, for example, is extremely light but is also very bulky and tends to take up valuable space in warehouses and containers. Similarly, unemptied PET or Tetra Pak bottles can cause hygiene problems, increase the transport costs and make it difficult to recover the material.
Companies that equip themselves with balers dedicated to special waste can therefore:
- drastically reduce the volume of these materials;
- separate solid components from liquids;
- simplify internal and external logistics,
- increase the value of recyclable waste;
- optimize spaces and reduce disposal costs.
Integrating such machines into business processes also means improving operational efficiency and promoting more sustainable management, both from an environmental and economic point of view.
Styropress: the ideal waste press for expanded polystyrene
There Styropress It is a waste baler designed to effectively solve one of the most common problems in the logistics, industrial and commercial sectors: the management of expanded polystyrene packaging.
With Styropress, the polystyrene is first crushed thanks to an integrated shredder and then compacted into high-density briquettes, with standardized dimensions of 84 x 92 mm. The result is a reduction in volume up to 97%, which translates into significant logistical savings and the possibility of valorizing the material by transforming it into a recyclable resource.
One of the main features of Styropress is the high level of automation. The machine is designed to work continuously, 24 hours a day, without requiring the presence of a fixed operator.
The system:
- automatically detects the presence of the material;
- activates the shredding and compacting cycle;
- then it ejects the compact briquettes into the accumulation area.
The entire process takes place inside a single compact machine, with small dimensions (3360 x 1595 x 1755 mm) and an installed power of 8.5 kW.
Thanks to its compaction force of 250 kN and its robust construction, Styropress is ideal for logistics centres, companies in the food sector, large-scale retail trade operators and, more generally, all those production facilities that generate large quantities of polystyrene packaging.
An additional advantage is the possibility of reselling the briquettes to operators specialized in EPS recycling, thus generating an additional source of revenue and actively contributing to the circular economy.
Liquidrainer: the ideal solution for emptying bottles and containers
Still on the subject of balers for special waste, another important model is Liquidrainer, that is, a system designed to evolve the disposal of full, damaged, expired or unsold bottles and containers. In the absence of adequate equipment, in fact, these materials are often managed manually, with consequent operational difficulties, hygiene risks and waste of time.
In reality, this waste baler is much more: it is an automated system that perforates, empties and separates liquids and containers in a single step, ensuring fast and safe management. PET bottles, cans, Tetra Pak packages and other similar containers are fed into the machine, which automatically opens them and drains the contents.
The advantages are many:
- Liquidrainer can empty up to 7,500 one-litre bottles per hour, continuously and without constant supervision;
- the stainless steel structure guarantees sturdiness, ease of cleaning and resistance to humidity;
- Furthermore, the recovered liquids can be conveyed into collection containers, while the empty containers are dry and ready for possible compaction or recycling.
For beverage, large-scale retail or food logistics companies, Liquidrainer is a practical choice that improves efficiency, reduces the volumes and costs of transporting liquid waste and promotes cleaner and more professional management of waste lines.
Balers for special waste solve many problems
Special waste balers such as Styropress and Liquidrainer meet the specific needs of many production and distribution companies. Treating polystyrene and bottles automatically, safely and efficiently not only reduces waste and costs, but also enhances materials that would otherwise end up taking up space or complicating logistics.
Choosing Effe3Ti's advanced solutions means equipping yourself with professional and reliable tools, designed to integrate into business processes and support more sustainable waste management every day.
