The ToronBale™ TXT textile baler from Torontech is built for that job. It comes in five versions, with 30 to 150 tons of pressing force, finished bales of 40 to 400 kg, and a machine weight between 1,800 and 6,000 kg. Fabric is light but stubborn. It takes much more force to pack down than its weight would suggest, so the biggest ToronBale™ TXT models match the tonnage of presses made for scrap metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe feature that separates this clothing baler from a generic baling press is its hydraulic lifting chamber. There is no side door to swing open. The whole chamber lifts up and away from the compressed bale, leaving every side exposed. Staff can run straps around the bale in both directions and slide a bag over it while the fabric is still held in place. This matters because textile bales push outward on all sides, and a strap on one axis alone will not contain them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen choosing a size, think about how dense you need the bale to be, not only how large it is. The 120 ton model squeezes fabric into a smaller 800 by 450 mm bale at very high pressure, a good match for exporters who pay by the cubic metre of container space. The 150 ton model is the pick for high-throughput sites, producing bales up to 400 kg. Used-clothing sorters, wool processors, and textile recyclers all run ToronBale™ TXT machines in every one of the five sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere the ToronBale™ TXT Textile Baling Machine Is Used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAny business that gathers, grades, or processes soft fabric in volume can put this baler to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed Clothing Exporters: packs graded garments into dense, bagged bales that fit container loads bound for overseas buyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharities and Thrift Shops: turns unsold donations and leftover stock into bales that graders and recyclers will buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextile Recyclers: shrinks mixed fabric waste so it takes up far less floor and warehouse space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWool Processors: packs raw (greasy) or scoured wool into bales ready to ship to mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton Gins and Processors: compresses cotton lint and comber waste into saleable units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarment Factories: handles cutting-table scraps and rejected pieces left over from production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiping Cloth and Rag Makers: forms graded rags into consistent bales for resale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaundries and Linen Suppliers: packs worn-out sheets, towels, and uniforms once they leave service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBedding and Quilt Makers: takes in stuffing waste, quilt trimmings, and returned soft products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/a6.webp?v=1791953950\" alt=\"Textile Baler - Clothing Baler\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/toronbalertm-txt-02-248476798.webp?v=1791953951\" alt=\"Textile Baler - Clothing Baler\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSafety and Standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt present, Torontech has not published any standards compliance for the ToronBale™ TXT.

A pile of loose textile is mostly trapped air, so the first part of the platen stroke is easy: air escapes and fibers shift into gaps. After the fibers are in contact all around, more compression means bending them against each other, and the pressure needed rises in step with roughly the cube of how tightly they are packed. This explains why the 120 and 150 ton machines exist, even though their bales weigh less than what a metal baler produces at 30 tons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOnce pressure is released, little keeps the bale compressed apart from friction. Bent fibers hold stored elastic energy and push back out the instant the platen eases off. Friction between fibers slows this recovery without stopping it, and a bale with no ties will swell within seconds. Metal such as crushed aluminum stays deformed because it passes its yield point. Fabric has no equivalent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe answer is to restrain the bale while it is still under pressure, and this is exactly why the chamber lifts as one piece. While the platen keeps the charge pressed down, operators can reach every face, apply cross-pattern straps to counter expansion in both directions, and fit a bag at the same time. Ram guides keep the platen level through the whole stroke, because fabric rarely piles evenly and any sideways load would otherwise be transferred to the cylinder seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTextile Baler - Clothing Baler - ToronBale™ TXT Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"857\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ TXT-30A\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ TXT-30B\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ TXT-50\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ TXT-120\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ TXT-150\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePress Force\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 tons (approx. 294 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 tons (approx. 294 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 tons (approx. 490 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 tons (approx. 1,177 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 tons (approx. 1,472 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeed Opening Size (L × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 × 400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700 × 400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750 × 350 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750 × 450 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,100 × 600 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaling Chamber Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,850 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,850 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Size (L × W × H, H adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e630 × 430 × (400 to 600) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e730 × 430 × (250 to 600) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800 × 600 × (400 to 550) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800 × 450 × (350 to 500) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,100 × 850 × (500 to 900) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 to 60 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 to 60 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 to 120 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 to 150 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 to 400 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,000 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250 × 800 × 3,700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,200 × 700 × 3,500 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,550 × 1,000 × 4,200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,600 × 1,000 × 4,550 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,000 × 1,450 × 4,300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChamber Access\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic lifting chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic lifting chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic lifting chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic lifting chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic lifting chamber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Handled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed clothing, comforters, shoes, wool, cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed clothing, comforters, shoes, wool, cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed clothing, comforters, shoes, wool, cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed clothing, comforters, shoes, wool, cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed clothing, comforters, shoes, wool, cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Torontech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039637504239,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/textile-baler-clothing-baler1992.webp?v=1791953720","url":"https:\/\/shop.torontech.com\/fr\/products\/textile-baler-clothing-baler","provider":"Torontech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
