From 10 t/day to 40 t/day: Planning Baler Capacity and Conveyor Length for Growing Recycling Operations

2025-08-18
Latest company news about From 10 t/day to 40 t/day: Planning Baler Capacity and Conveyor Length for Growing Recycling Operations

Many recycling yards start at 5–10 t/day with a small machine that can easily keep up. As more customers come on board and daily throughput climbs to 30–40 t/day, the original setup quickly reaches its limits.

1) Work backwards from your target output

Using 40 t/day as an example:

  • With 8 effective working hours, you need to process about 5 t/hour;

  • If each bale weighs a few hundred kilograms, you need roughly 8–12 bales per hour;

  • This implies a full cycle time of only a few minutes per bale. You must verify during selection that the baler can sustain this cycle time under real OCC conditions.

2) Conveyor length defines your buffering capacity

  • The longer the conveyor, the more material it can buffer, helping you handle short-term surges in incoming waste;

  • For 20–40 t/day, a conveyor length of 8–10 m usually provides a comfortable buffer;

  • If incoming flow is highly uneven, create a simple stockpile area at the conveyor head, forming a three-stage rhythm: stockpile → conveyor → baler.

3) Align capacity with forklift capability and yard flow

  • Once baling capacity increases, bale removal and stacking must keep pace;

  • Aisle width, number of forklifts and stacking zones must be revisited, or you will end up with a fast baler and a slow downstream process.
