Colombia: ENERPAT Full Auto Horizontal Cardboard Bundler Installed

Meeting Colombia's Growing Recycling Needs

A new milestone has been reached in Colombia’s recycling sector as ENERPAT successfully installed a Full Auto Horizontal Cardboard Bundler for a local entrepreneur looking to expand into the recycling business. The customer was seeking an efficient solution to handle loose plastic bottles and cardboard, with a monthly volume of around 300 tons. Through a simple Google search for “cardboard bundler”, the client found ENERPAT and began exploring options.

Initially, both semi-automatic and fully automatic models were recommended, allowing the customer to choose based on current production and future expansion plans. After careful evaluation, the HBA40-7272 fully automatic horizontal baler was recommended for its long-term benefits, and the client confidently placed an order.

Understanding the Customer's Pain Points

The client's key concerns were:

1. Warranty and Spare Parts:

Reliability was critical. ENERPAT provides one-year full machine warranty and five-year hydraulic cylinder warranty, giving customers peace of mind.

2. Proven Performance:

The client wanted to see machines in operation before making a decision. ENERPAT arranged visits to existing customer sites, offering full transparency and enabling on-site inspection.

Thanks to these solutions, the customer not only purchased the baler but has also become a reference point in Colombia, ready to welcome visitors for demonstrations of real operational efficiency.

HBA40-7272 Fully Auto Horizontal Cardboard Bundler Overview

The HBA40-7272 plastic press machine is designed to simplify recycling operations while maximizing efficiency:

• Bale Size: 720 × 720 × L (mm)

• Bale Weight: 200–500 kg

• Press Force: 40 t

• Motor Power: 22 kW

• Machine Size: 6770 × 3050 × 3580 mm

• Output: 1–3 t/h

• Operation: Fully automatic

Key Features:

• Automated Feeding & Compression: Loose materials are transported into the hopper, compressed hydraulically, and automatically tied into dense bales.

• Advanced German Twisting Technology: Ensures high-strength steel wire binds securely without loosening.

• Three-Directional Compression System: Side cylinders work in sync with the main cylinder, producing perfectly shaped bales.

• Premium Hydraulic System: Large-flow valves, H-type tapered interfaces, and Hallite seals ensure safety, speed, and durability.

• PLC Control & Monitoring: Siemens/Schneider systems allow touch-screen control, real-time monitoring of electricity, temperature, and operational time.

The HBA series also includes other models covering press forces from 30 to 200 t, with customizable bale sizes and automatic operation, addressing diverse customer needs.

Why ENERPAT Stands Out

• Fast ROI & Reduced Labor Costs: The fully automatic system minimizes manual labor while boosting throughput.

• Proven Reliability: ENERPAT balers have never received complaints from clients, with successful deployments in high-demand industries, including BMW factories in China.

• Tailored Recommendations: Experts assess both current production and future growth, guiding customers to the right solution.

Colombia Market Analysis & Policy Trends

Colombia is a rapidly developing market for recycling equipment due to:

• High Waste Volume: Colombia generates approximately 26,975 tons of municipal solid waste daily, totaling ~11.6 million tons annually. (MDPI)

• Low Recycling Rates: Only about 17% of solid waste is currently recycled, with plastic being the most challenging. (MDPI)

• Waste Composition: In Bogotá, plastics account for 13.25%, cardboard 8.92%, and metals 1.12%, indicating significant recyclable content. (SpringerLink)

• Government Support:

1) PGIRS Decree 2918/2013 mandates municipalities to establish integrated solid waste management plans, supporting facilities like transfer stations and balers.

2) Circular Economy & PET Bottle Initiatives encourage plastic recycling infrastructure. (Redalyc)

3) Single-Use Plastic Ban (2024) drives investment in recycling equipment, including plastic bottle baling machines. (El País)

Future Demand Trends:

• Urbanization and rising waste generation indicate a growing need for fully automated balers.

• Circular economy targets and policy enforcement will accelerate adoption in municipal, industrial, and commercial sectors.

• The market is particularly favorable for high-efficiency, fully automated systems like the HBA40-7272.

Applicable Industries & Materials

The HBA40-7272 Full Auto Horizontal Cardboard Bundler is suitable for:

• Plastic Bottles & Packaging: PET, HDPE, films

• Cardboard & Paper: Corrugated boxes, paper sheets

• Textiles: Fabric scraps, cloth waste

• Mixed Recyclables: Pre-sorted combination of plastics, paper, and metals

Industries benefiting include municipal waste management, recycling cooperatives, packaging manufacturers, industrial production, and even e-waste processors.
