Torontech offers this plastic film baling machine in 30 ton and 50 ton press configurations, so you can match the baler to your daily film volume. The same chamber also bales corrugated cartons and old newspaper, making it a flexible choice for mixed recyclable streams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWide Feed Door for Bulky Loose Film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe feed door is 1,100 mm or 1,500 mm wide. Bulky loose film goes straight into the chamber, with no pre-cutting or hand-folding, which narrow-throat balers usually require. Operators load faster and spend less time prepping material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnti-Rebound Design for Dense, Stable Film Bales\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlastic film is harder to compress than paper. Its low bulk density means each load takes up a lot of space for very little weight, and the film springs back as soon as the platen lifts. The ToronBale™ VP solves both problems with high press force for its chamber size and an anti-rebound gate structure that locks each compressed layer in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTypical bale weight:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 ton model: 150 to 250 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 ton model: 300 to 500 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAutomatic Chain Ejector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn automatic chain ejector lifts each finished bale out of the chamber. Operators no longer have to tip bales out by hand, as older vertical balers require, which saves time and reduces handling effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTurn Film Waste into a Saleable Commodity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRecycling facilities, distribution centers, and film converters use the ToronBale™ VP to turn a bulky waste stream into a product they can sell. Baled film ships at a fraction of the volume of loose material, so you need fewer pickups, pay less for haulage, and rent fewer containers. That lowers disposal costs and improves recycling revenue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eToronBale™ VP Vertical Plastic Film Baler Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere the ToronBale™ VP Plastic Film Baling Machine Is Used\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ToronBale™ VP vertical plastic film baler compacts soft plastic waste across retail, industrial, and agricultural operations.

The ToronBale™ VP vertical plastic film baler is built around the way polyethylene film actually behaves under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCompressing Viscoelastic Polyethylene Film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePolyethylene film is viscoelastic, so a compressed stack recovers much of its thickness once the load is released. The platen must therefore drive each charge well past the point of first resistance and hold pressure long enough for two things to happen: the polymer layers yield, and trapped air escapes through the gaps in the chamber. In a plastic film baling machine, press force does the job that fiber interlocking does in a paper bale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow Film Layers Stay Compressed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePaper bales hold together through fiber entanglement. Film bales rely on friction between layers instead. Compressed sheets meet across a large contact area, and static charge and surface tack keep them bound together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnti-rebound dogs on the chamber walls add mechanical retention. They bite into each compacted layer and block upward recovery when the platen retreats. Each new charge then compresses against a stable base rather than re-compressing material that has sprung back, so bale density builds with every stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChamber Size and Press Force\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChamber geometry sets the force requirement. On the 50 ton model, the 1,500 mm wide bale face spreads the load over roughly twice the area of a narrow chamber, which lowers the unit pressure at any given cylinder force. This is why the larger chamber pairs with a 50 ton press and a 7.5 kW motor, while the smaller chamber uses the 30 ton, 5.5 kW package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEven Pressure Through the Full Stroke\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReinforced ram guides keep the platen square throughout its stroke. Pressure stays even across the bale face, even when film piles unevenly in the chamber, which produces uniform, stable bales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVertical Plastic Film Baler - ToronBale™ VP Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"843\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VP-30\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VP-50\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\u003e50 tons (approx. 490 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeed Opening Size (L × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,100 × 500 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500 × 500 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaling Chamber Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500 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\u003e1,100 × 700 × (500 to 900) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500 × 760 × (600 to 1,000) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 to 250 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 to 500 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,900 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,800 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500 × 1,050 × 2,900 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,000 × 1,150 × 3,100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePush-button hydraulic control with safety interlocks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePush-button hydraulic control with safety interlocks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Ejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic chain ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic chain ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Handled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft plastic film, cardboard, cartons, newspaper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft plastic film, cardboard, cartons, newspaper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Torontech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039373689071,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/vertical-plastic-film-baler88594.webp?v=1791915635","url":"https:\/\/shop.torontech.com\/fr\/products\/vertical-plastic-film-baler","provider":"Torontech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
