Industrial Compactor for Bulk Bags & Cardboard — Cut Waste Removal Costs
Industrial Recycling systems that compact bulk bags (FIBCs), films, and cardboard into tight, easy-to-handle rolls or bales. Choose manual-load or fully automated systems—integrated with your line.
Serving NC & SC manufacturers across regulated industries with engineered bulk material handling solutions.
Overview: Industrial Recycling Compactors that Reduce Labor & Hauls
Roll compactors compress voluminous waste—like FIBCs (Super Sacks), stretch film, and cardboard—into dense, wrapped bales that stack neatly on pallets. Systems can be mobile for point-of-use compaction or integrated with automated bag-emptying and packaging lines to streamline Waste Removal.
Pair with upstream bulk bag unloaders to compact empty sacks at the source, keeping production areas clean and compliant.
RC 1655 — Manual-Load Roll Compactor
Compact Bulk Bags, Film, Plastics, Paper, Rubber & More
Operator loads material onto the feed table; dual belts form a dense cylindrical bale, then auto-wrap and eject. Ideal near bulk-bag unloaders or packaging areas.
- Mobile footprint; set up where waste is generated
- Automatic film wrap & bale ejection
- LED fill indication; adjustable bale size
SB2500 — Automated Cardboard & Bag Compaction
Fully Automated for Cardboard — Integrates with Laborsave™
Automate your corrugate handling and connect to sack emptying systems. The SB2500 can also compact empty plastic bags downstream of automatic depalletizers or Laborsave units.
- Hands-off operation with automatic feed, wrap, and discharge
- High throughput; consistent bale dimensions for easy stacking
- Options for dust control and safety interlocks
Materials We Compact
Bulk bags (FIBCs), stretch/shrink film, cardboard packaging, plastic foams, fleece, paper trim, plastic straps, rubber, and more.
How Roll Compaction Works
Two Belts → One Dense, Wrapped Bale
Sorted waste is drawn into a round chamber by dual belts, compacted into a cylinder, then automatically film-wrapped and ejected to a pallet. Bales stack safely and keep areas clean and organized.
- Adjustable bale size; wrap and ejection at the push of a button
- Minimal operator time; no tying with wire/strap
- Place the unit at point-of-use for immediate volume reduction
| Typical Bale | Dimensions | Weight | Form |
|---|---|---|---|
| RC Series Roll | ~18" dia × 24" L | ~25–40 lb (material dependent) | Film-wrapped cylinder |

CMT Process Solutions: Industrial Recycling Compactors →Why Roll Compactors vs. Vertical Balers?
| Topic | Roll Compactor (RC 1655) | Typical Vertical Baler |
|---|---|---|
| Operator Steps to Bale | ~3 (load → wrap → eject) | ~30+ (load cycles, strap threading/tying, eject) |
| Operator Time / Bale | ~2–3 minutes | ~14 minutes (varies) |
| Tie Method | Automatic film wrap | Manual strapping/wire |
| Placement | Mobile, point-of-use | Fixed location |
| Waste Streams | Mix streams (plastics, film, bags, paper, etc.) | Usually single stream per bale |
