Recyclers rarely think of the moment between "dirty bale in" and "clean flake out" as a profit center — but the pile of loose bottles, film and boxes waiting beside the washing line tells a different story. Every cubic meter of uncompressed waste is space you pay for, transport you pay twice for, and labor hours spent moving air instead of material.
A day of PET bottle intake can bury a loading bay in loose material. Bulk bags help, but they still hold mostly air. Recyclers who solve this first usually discover that one vertical baler releases more floor area than a new warehouse extension would.
Trucks full of loose bottles leave money on the road. Baled material loads dense and square, so the same trip carries far more usable feedstock to the pelletizing line or the recycling solution downstream.
Feeding a crusher by hand, dragging bags across the yard and stacking loose material are heavy, repetitive jobs. A baler with an independent feed opening and automatic pull-out lets one operator do what used to take a crew.
Bottle flakes, film bags, cardboard, waste paper and general recyclable garbage arrive in the same truck. The VB series is designed for that reality: one vertical hydraulic baler handles recycled plastics, bottles, waste, paper, cardboard, film bags and other materials without special pre-sorting.
The VB Series Vertical Waste Plastic Baling Machine is a hydraulic, automatically controlled vertical baler mainly used for recycled plastic, bottles, waste garbage, waste paper, cardboard, film bags and other materials. Working with hydraulic drive and automatic control, it compresses loose material into dense, stackable bales — reducing storage space by up to 80% — while cutting transportation and labor costs and supporting environmental protection and waste recycling.
Because Chenxing builds complete plastic recycling line solutions, the baler is positioned as the companion station where intake and finished material are kept dense, clean and easy to move — before the crushing, washing and recycling stages take over.

The VB series covers light daily intake up to heavy continuous operation. Choose by pressing power, bale size and the throughput your site expects — every model shares the same vertical hydraulic design, electric button control and independent feed opening:
| Model | VB-20 | VB-30 | VB-40 | VB-60 | VB-80 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressing Power (T) | 20 | 30 | 40 | 60 | 80 |
| Feed Opening Size (mm) | 700x400 | 800x500 | 1000x500 | 1100x500 | 1200x500 |
| Compression Time (s) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 42 | 42 |
| Bale Size (LxWxH) mm | 800x600x800 | 800x600x1000 | 1000x600x1000 | 1100x700x1000 | 1200x800x1200 |
| Pump Power (kW) | 3 | 5.5 | 7.5 | 11 | 15 |
| Bale Weight (kg) | 30-100 | 30-120 | 60-180 | 90-250 | 200-380 |
| Machine Weight (kg) | 1300 | 1500 | 1800 | 2200 | 3500 |
| Dimension (LxWxH) mm | 1100x800x2800 | 1300x950x3000 | 1500x900x3200 | 1500x950x3300 | 1700x1200x3800 |
The VB series adopts a hydraulic drive mechanism. It uses less energy while delivering the high pressing force needed to form a dense bale — the combination that makes the baler economical to run through a full working day.
Operation is built around electric button control, allowing manual adjusting and semi-automatic control of the pressing cycle. The operator can fine-tune each stroke or let the machine run through the automatic sequence, whichever fits the material and the working rhythm of the site.
The independent feeding opening with automatic pulling-out installation reduces labor force at the loading point. Material is fed into a clear opening and the machine pulls it into the chamber, so one worker keeps the baler running without climbing or manual packing.
Compressed bales are square, uniform and easy to stack — the reason a baler can free up to 80% of the stacking space compared with loose material. Dense bales also load better for the trip to the film recycling washing line, agglomerator or grinding station.
At intake — incoming loose bottles, film and garbage are baled immediately, keeping the yard organized before processing
Between stages — intermediate material stays compact while waiting for the washing line or the two-stage recycling machine
At finished-goods storage — flakes, agglomerate or regrind baled for dispatch, exactly as it arrived from suppliers
Alongside sorting stations — waste paper and cardboard from office and municipal sorting are baled with the same machine family

Zhangjiagang Chenxing Machinery Co., Ltd. is a professional factory for plastic machinery with more than 20 years of experience, located in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, China, and exporting to 30+ countries around the world. The same engineering discipline behind our extruders, PVC pipe extrusion lines and recycling systems now covers the baling and material-handling side of the recycling business — one supplier for the whole material flow, from loose bale in to pellet out. Learn more on About Us, explore our applications or view the complete catalog on Products and Solutions.
Please tell us as much detail as possible: what is your raw material, what final product you want to produce, and what capacity you want it to perform. With that information we recommend between VB-20 and VB-80 and confirm the pressing power, bale size and pump configuration in a written quotation.
The machine is mainly used for recycled plastics, bottles, waste garbage, waste paper, cardboard, film bags and other loose materials. Bottles and film from municipal and industrial sorting are the two most common feeds.
Yes. Customization is available — feed opening, bale size, pressing power and accessories can be adjusted to your material and site layout. Send Chenxing a sample of your material and the daily volume, and the engineering team will confirm the configuration.
Every Chenxing baler carries a 1-year warranty with after-sales online support, and the machine ships with free spare parts. Long-term spare parts supply is available for every customer.
Loose cargo is packed in wooden boxes; full container loads are packed with film and pallets as needed. We ship by air or by sea, send loading pictures to the client for checking, and can deliver cargo to the client's warehouse when required.
Yes. After delivery we arrange engineers to install the machinery and train your workers, and a 24-hour after-sales team is available to solve problems quickly. For more answers, visit the FAQ list or contact us from the contact page.
Our technical and engineer team designs and validates the sample machine before it enters the market; a production QC team ensures manufacturing quality; and we run every machine after finishing before shipment. Clients may also choose to run the machine with their own material before acceptance.
Yes. The VB baler is designed as the baling companion for Chenxing washing and recycling lines, film recycling lines and pelletizing systems — keep the loose material dense from the first minute it arrives.
Start with three answers: the material you bale, the daily volume, and whether the bale feeds your own washing line or goes out to a buyer. Chenxing will match the VB model, confirm the electrical and layout requirements and send a full quotation with packaging and shipping terms.
