Optimising Plastic Recycling Processes
CK International manufactures a wide range of balers designed for all types of plastic waste – from lightweight film and PET bottles to rigid plastics and mixed materials. Our solutions span vertical balers for low-to-medium volumes, semi-automatic balers for higher throughput, and fully automatic channel press and twin-ram balers for continuous, heavy-duty processing.
The right machine depends on the type of plastic, the volume produced, and the preferred level of automation. We can also tailor each baler with optional system components – such as conveyors, perforators, or automated feeding – to create a solution that fits your workflow and space.
Delivering One of Europe’s Largest PET Baling Contracts
In 2015, CK International secured a major contract to design and manufacture 25 baling systems for Greentech, a leading recycling company in Romania. Each system included an infeed conveyor with a large feed chamber, a PET bottle perforator, and a CK600HFE baler capable of processing over 1 tonne of PET per hour.
The project brought several challenges – developing a new semi-automatic horizontal baler, sourcing and specifying the conveyor and perforator components, and delivering all 25 systems within a tight three-month timeframe.
Thanks to strong cross-department collaboration, every machine was manufactured and shipped ahead of schedule in early 2016. This remains one of the largest contracts of its kind in Europe and a standout achievement for CK International.
