The plastic bale opener is specifically designed to release and unpack tightly compressed bundles of PET plastic bottles. This machine thoroughly separates densely packed PET bottle bundles without damaging the bottles, achieving a separation rate of approximately 96% and enabling individual bottle output.
Featuring a robust structure and user-friendly operation, the machine allows flexible adjustment of output volume to meet production demands, with a maximum processing capacity of 80 bundles per hour. Operating reliably with low maintenance costs, it serves as a critical component in PET plastic recycling lines, providing ideal conditions for subsequent color and material sorting processes.
application of plastic bale opener
The PET plastic bale opener is suitable for various types of compressed materials, including high-density or loosely compressed bales of PET bottles, aluminum cans, plastic drums, plastic film, cardboard, and waste paper. It is widely used in plastic recycling plants, solid waste treatment centers, resource recovery enterprises, and beverage bottle recycling and washing production lines.
Why use a bottle bale breaker machine?
In plastic recycling lines, compressed bales may be overloaded due to their excessive size and density when they go directly to the primary shredder and plastic granule pelletizing machine. Therefore, in the first step, a plastic bale opener must be used to break down and reduce the size of the material to avoid overloading and clogging.
After unpacking, the individual and compressed bottles can be controlled and sorted. The bottles are then conveyed to a suitable hopper for the next process.
The machine frame is made of a very thick steel plate for robustness. Gear drives are used to ensure drive strength. It can open very tight bundles. It can work in conjunction with a rotary sifter for greater efficiency.
This plastic bale opener machine is used in PET bottle washing lines. It is usually the start of an entire PET recycling plant. The size and density of the bales should be determined before manufacturing.

PET bottle bale opening machine working principle
The structural principle of the plastic bale opener is very simple. It positions the packaged plastic bottles to the cutting device using a conveyor belt, and then a mechanical arm or blade system is used to excise the caps or seals, which can completely loosen the compressed plastic bottles.
Because the plastic bottles are squeezed against each other and thus separated, the moving parts of the machine do not come into contact with each other, ensuring the longevity of the components. The process is efficient and accurate, helping to increase the efficiency of recycling and reuse of plastic bottles.
How does the machine reserve overload?
If you are dealing with a plastic bale, there are not only plastic bottles inside, but also plastic bags, small iron pieces and other foreign objects. When the machine opens the plastic bale, the iron pieces may get stuck in the machine.
Although this will not damage the opener, the machine will detect the foreign object. And the screw will automatically rotate backward for half a second to prevent damage.
The plastic bale opener will then try to re-rotate the screw three times in one minute, and if still unsuccessful, the screw will stop rotating altogether while the other screws in the machine will continue to work, ensuring that the overall machine is not damaged.
plastic recycling bale opener machine price
The price of PET plastic bale opener is mainly determined by the equipment specification and model, technology and function, material and manufacturing process, customization requirements, additional services, and transportation and logistics.
Higher-end models, more functions, and quality materials usually cost more, while additional services and transportation costs also affect the final price. You need to comprehensively evaluate these factors when shopping and choose the product that best suits your needs.
