Last week, PalletMach welcomed a delegation of Indonesian clients to our manufacturing facility. Accompanied by our professional sales and engineering team, the clients conducted an in-depth inspection of our production base, with a special focus on the waste plastic pallet press machine and the sample display area.

During the visit, the Indonesian clients raised technical questions regarding the compatibility of raw materials, energy consumption, and pallet load-bearing capacity. By closely observing the actual operating status of the waste plastic pallet press machine, the clients gained a strong appreciation for the durability, manufacturing precision, and production efficiency of PalletMach equipment.

The 1,250-ton model of our waste plastic pallet press machine operates at 75 kW and can stably produce 20 plastic pallets per hour.

Ready to Ship: Another Custom Indonesian Production Line Completed

Interestingly, during the same week as the client visit, another custom-designed plastic pallet molding production line for an Indonesian client was completed in our factory.

Following the client’s raw material specifications, our team has sourced PE film and PET film materials to conduct the final pressing tests before shipment. During the trial run, our engineers will make micro-adjustments to the parameters of the waste plastic pallet press machine based on the pressing results, ensuring that once the equipment arrives in Indonesia, it can immediately begin high-volume production without any learning curve.

The Economics of Recycling: How Much Profit Can a Waste Plastic Pallet Press Machine Generate?

In the current global market, the price of recycled materials typically ranges from 50% to 80% of the cost of virgin plastics, while the cost of waste plastic is even lower.

Take our recent Indonesian client as an example: The client uses a blend of four composite plastics, with a high proportion of PET. The PET film material was purchased in China at a price of 15 RMB/kg. The finished plastic pallet weighs 21 kg, meaning the raw material cost alone is 94.5 RMB.

It is worth noting that this cost is already twice the price of finished molded plastic pallets available on the Chinese domestic market.

Imagine the profit margin if a manufacturer uses genuine waste plastic instead of purchased film materials.

Core Technology: No granulation, One-Step Molding

Unlike traditional injection molding or blow molding processes, which require the complex granulation of waste plastic before use, PalletMach’s waste plastic pallet press machine supports the direct use of waste plastic, forming high-strength pallets through high-temperature and high-pressure technology in a single step.

1. Multi-Stage Extruder

The production line is equipped with a multi-stage extruder featuring precision temperature control. This ensures that mixed waste materials with different melting points (such as PE and PET) are fully and evenly plasticized, laying a solid foundation for the molding process.

2. Precision Extrusion Dosing System

Located between the extruder and the molding press, the precision dosing system uses careful calculations to strictly control the volume of material entering each mold. This ensures that every single pallet produced has consistent weight and stable quality, effectively reducing the defect rate caused by material fluctuations.

3. Plastic Molding Press 

The waste plastic pallet press machine features a unique three-beam, four-column structure, providing a rigid frame capable of withstanding thousands of tons of working pressure. It is equipped with high-quality hydraulic components, ensuring smooth, vibration-free operation.

The PLC control system is user-friendly, offering high automation, precise parameter adjustment, and excellent safety features. The molds are manufactured using wear-resistant steel, and the structural design facilitates easy disassembly and maintenance, significantly reducing downtime during product changeovers.
