Efficient, reliable and built for high-volume PET bottle compression—this is what the Dominican Republic customer urgently needed. Facing rising labor costs, overcrowded sorting yards and rapidly increasing PET bottle volumes, the customer searched Google for “pet bottle pressing machine” and found ENERPAT. After reviewing output requirements, site layout and long-term recycling plans, the customer selected the ENERPAT Auto Tie PET Bottle Pressing Machine, model HBA150-110125—a fully automatic horizontal baler engineered for continuous, industrial-scale PET bottle processing.
Today, this Dominican installation has become one of ENERPAT's benchmark reference sites in the Caribbean region. The machine is running smoothly, exceeding output expectations and helping the customer unlock significant operational savings.
Customer Background: PET Bottle Volumes Surging Beyond Manual Capacity
The customer operates a mid-to-large scale recycling facility collecting loose plastic bottles, PET bottles and mixed beverage containers. Although the facility had sufficient feed volume, manual handling was no longer sustainable. Labor-based sorting and compacting became slow, inconsistent and expensive. With PET bottle intake approaching 15 tons per hour, the site was running out of floor space, suffering from inefficient truck loading and losing revenue due to low-density material.
Their biggest pain points included:
Uncompressed PET bottles occupying huge footprint, blocking workflow
High transportation cost due to low-density loose bottles
Inability to meet 15 t/h required throughput
Low labor efficiency and rising wage pressure
Urgent need for automation to stabilize output
After a technical evaluation, ENERPAT recommended the Auto Tie PET Bottle Pressing Machine—a fully automatic baling solution that compresses loose bottles into uniform, export-ready bales without manual tying.
Why the ENERPAT Auto Tie PET Bottle Pressing Machine Was the Ideal Solution
The selected model—HBA150-110125—is engineered for high-output PET bottle recycling lines, providing the automation, bale density and reliability required for Dominican recycling plants.

How ENERPAT's Technology Solves the Customer's Bottlenecks
1. End-to-End Automatic Operation — Zero Manual Binding
The baler uses German auto-tie technology, binding each bale with high-strength quenched steel wire. The ties are tight, reliable and suitable for long-distance shipping.
2. Three-Direction Compression for Premium Bale Density
Three hydraulic cylinders compress PET bottles from multiple angles, ensuring consistent bale shape, high density and maximum container loading rates.
3. Robust Hydraulic System
Modular hydraulic valve blocks
Large-flow configuration for fast cycle time
Hallite seals from the UK—leak-proof and long-lasting
H-type tapered connectors to prevent oil leakage
4. Siemens/Schneider PLC + Smart Monitoring
Operators can view runtime, temperature, current load and fault alarms in real time.
One-touch control ensures the Auto Tie PET Bottle Pressing Machine is easy to learn and operate.
5. “Plug and Run” Integrated Structure
The machine ships as a complete assembled system. Once connected to power and conveyor, production can begin immediately—reducing installation time and allowing the customer to start generating ROI faster.

Market Demand in the Dominican Republic: Data-Backed Insights
1. Solid Waste Scale
Recent environmental research and municipal assessments indicate:
~16,000 tons/day municipal solid waste
Annual MSW: 5.8–6.0 million tons
Plastic accounts for 10–16% depending on district
PET bottles alone reach hundreds of thousands of tons per year
This volume directly drives the need for Auto Tie PET Bottle Pressing Machine installations.
2. Rapid Growth Sectors
Tourism waste increases 8–12% annually in resort regions
FMCG consumption rising due to population growth
Expanding export of baled PET to global recyclers
Increasing private investment in recycling facilities
3. Government Policies Accelerating Equipment Purchases
Key regulations pushing recycling automation include:
Ley 225-20 – Integrated Solid Waste Management Law
Mandates waste reduction, recycling and value recovery
Encourages private sector investment in recycling equipment
Establishes funding mechanisms for municipalities and recycling stations
National Integrated Waste Management Plan (PLANGIR)
Focus on formalizing recycling
Development of sorting and compression infrastructure
Strong support from international partners (JICA, USAID, UN programs)
Bottom Line:
The Dominican Republic is undergoing regulatory modernization, making automatic balers not optional—but necessary.
