Torontech offers it in 150-ton and 200-ton press force. It forms bales of 1,250 × 1,100 mm weighing 200 kg to 600 kg. A 1,250 × 700 mm feed opening lets operators drop in a complete car bumper with no cutting or shredding first. Machine weight is 6,000 kg for one model and 8,000 kg for the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRigid plastics are built to withstand crushing forces. A bumper flexes on impact and returns to shape, and a ribbed pallet deck carries several tonnes without giving way. To bale them, the press must exceed the loads these parts were designed to survive. That is why this baler delivers force levels closer to a scrap metal press than a typical recycling baler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe chamber layout suits the material. Two adjacent sides open at a right angle, giving operators space to thread strapping around the bale in both directions. A hydraulic cylinder then ejects the finished bale cleanly instead of dragging it out by chain, which is safer for loads with jagged, broken edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ToronBale™ VRP serves operations that handle bulky rigid plastic streams which shredders and conventional balers struggle with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Dismantling and End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Recycling:\u003c\/strong\u003e compresses bumpers, fascias, wheel arch liners and interior trim stripped from scrapped vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollision Repair and Body Shops:\u003c\/strong\u003e clears out replaced bumper covers and damaged panels piling up on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic Pallet and Crate Pooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e reduces worn-out HDPE pallets, totes and returnable crates to dense bales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInjection Molding Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e handles oversized reject parts and start-up purge too bulky to feed a granulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastics Recycling Facilities:\u003c\/strong\u003e packs sorted rigid fractions into transport-ready bales for reprocessors who purchase by the container load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural Plastics Recovery:\u003c\/strong\u003e bales crates, drums and rigid containers gathered from farms and packhouses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppliance and Electronics Recycling:\u003c\/strong\u003e compacts housings, casings and molded structural parts after depollution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMunicipal Bulky Waste Programs:\u003c\/strong\u003e reduces rigid plastic items separated from household bulky waste collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeverage and Distribution Logistics:\u003c\/strong\u003e processes retired crates and pallets from returnable transit packaging fleets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStandards and Safety Compliance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt present, Torontech has not published standards compliance for the ToronBale™ VRP.

A stack of bumpers looks mostly empty, but each part is stiff, and the platen meets that stiffness before it reaches the empty space. Pressure rises against ribs and curved shells until they buckle, and only then does the overall volume begin to shrink. Compaction happens as a chain of local failures, not as steady, even densification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaterial design works against the baler. Bumper covers are made from polypropylene blends with impact modifiers so they bend and recover rather than crack, and pallet decks are ribbed to support heavy static loads. The press must push both well past the limits their designers intended. The 200-ton model applies roughly 1.4 MPa across its 1,250 × 1,100 mm bale face, several times the pressure of a typical cardboard baler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe result after failure is what makes the process worthwhile. Fractured and folded pieces nest together, broken edges lock into neighboring fragments, and the deformation is largely permanent rather than elastic. A rigid plastic bale therefore keeps its shape far better than a film or textile bale of similar volume. Cross-pattern strapping is still recommended, since surface fragments can work loose during handling and transport vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVertical Rigid Plastic Baler - ToronBale™ VRP Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"872\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VRP-150\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eToronBale™ VRP-200\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\u003e150 tons (approx. 1,472 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 tons (approx. 1,962 kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeed Opening Size (L × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250 × 700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250 × 700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaling Chamber Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 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\u003e1,250 × 1,100 × (200 to 1,000) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,250 × 1,100 × (200 to 1,000) mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 to 500 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 to 600 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,000 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8,000 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 × 2,800 × 4,000 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,800 × 3,000 × 4,200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Ejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic cylinder ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic cylinder ejector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChamber Access\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight-angle opening doors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight-angle opening doors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Handled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar bumpers, plastic pallets, crates, rigid plastics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCar bumpers, plastic pallets, crates, rigid plastics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Torontech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044319101167,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5291\/9023\/files\/vertical-rigid-plastic-baler2042.webp?v=1791955211","url":"https:\/\/shop.torontech.com\/products\/vertical-rigid-plastic-baler","provider":"Torontech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
