PET Bottle Compressor PB Series

PET Bottle Compressor PB Series

Recommended by Council for PET Bottle Recycling

Recycling has been mandated for PET bottles under the Act on the Promotion of Sorted Collection and Recycling of Containers and Packaging that was enacted on April 1, 1997.
The PB Series PET bottle compressors of KAMACHO have achieved sales of over 200 units since their release. They compress and reduce the volume of PET bottles collected from general households, and bind them with PP bands. They are effective for reducing workloads when transporting to the next processes, and also for reducing costs.

Features

  • PET bottles are compressed, volume-reduced and packaged automatically just by throwing them into the hopper.
  • The volume of PET bottles is reduced to about 1/10, allowing for a reduction in transportation costs.
  • Equipped with a built-in piercing mechanism for handling capped bottles.
  • A wide range of optional functions are available.
    Status display screen
    The LCD display enables operation status to be viewed at a glance.
    Automatic scale
    The number of bails being processed and cumulative weight are displayed and printed. (Utility model)
    Processing of containers and packaging other than PET bottles
    Paper packs for milk and other products and plastic trays can also be processed.

Type for Processing PET and Other Plastics (PBL, PBH)

  • PET bottles and other plastics are processed separately.
  • Other plastics are thrown in loose or after packing in a small bag (about 30 liters or less).
  • Filled bags larger than 30 liters are thrown in using the manual throw-in chute.
  • The processing capacity for other plastics is 70% that of PET bottles and 20% or less for plastic trays.
