A plastic material crushing and compacting structure, including: a barrel, a upper side thereof configured with an input hole, and an inside thereof a driving device, an inside of the driving device a wireless transceiver module; a pair of clamping seats, configured below the input hole, and used to clamp an input plastic material item (e.g. plastic bottle, paute, etc.) to prevent the plastic material item from ejecting; a crushing device, configured below the pair of clamping seats and used to crush the input plastic material item, and provided with crushing device driver; and a telescopic push rod, configured below the driving device and moved vertically, a bottom of the telescopic push rod provided with a compressing face, several strip supports configured on the compressing face, and a gap arranged between each two adjacent strip supports, each of the gaps is the same size or not the same size.

A recycling appliance is for processing non-organic recyclable materials and organic materials. The recycling appliance includes a non-organic processing assembly configured to receive, process and store the non-organic recyclable materials. An organic processing assembly is spaced apart from the non-organic processing assembly. The organic processing assembly is configured to receive, process and store the organic materials. A housing assembly is configured to house the non-organic processing assembly and the organic processing assembly.

A dust solidification apparatus that homogenizes dust components having a simple structure and capable of performing dust solidification in a stable manner includes: a storage tank that stores dust; a forming member within the storage tank, the forming member having a forming hole; and a pressurizing rod configured to freely advance and withdraw with respect to the inside of the forming hole, wherein the rod is made to advance into the forming hole to solidify dust filled therein, thereby obtaining a solidified substance, the forming hole has entry and discharge sections for the pressurizing rod and is in communication with the storage tank, and a stirring passage is provided in the outside of the discharge section to guide dust pushed out from the discharge section by the entry of the pressurizing rod into the entry section in a direction different from the discharge direction and to stir the dust.

The present invention relates to an automatic bale strapping mechanism for dispensing, cutting, and securing strapping material around a bale of material being formed by a baling press. The automatic bale strapping mechanism can be an integral component or series of components to a conventional baling press. The bale strapping mechanism includes a draw and cutter assembly comprising a mobile draw carriage that draws strapping material a predetermined distance for cutting. The bale strapping mechanism can also include a dispensing mechanism which dispenses strapping material and an insertion assembly which carries strapping material through an extrusion chamber chute of a baling press. Methods of automatically drawing and cutting strapping material are also an aspect of the present invention.

Herein described is an automatic bale strapping mechanism for dispensing, cutting, and securing strapping material around a bale of material being formed by a baling press.

Also described are methods of automatically drawing and cutting strapping material.

A rebaling system may include a bale processing system that processes a first bale of a first size into unbaled material; a rebaler downstream of the bale processing system, the rebaler rebaling the unbaled material into a second bale of a second size different than the first size prior to being processed; a collection platform positioned below a portion of the rebaling system that collects stray unbaled material; and a recycling system including a first auger operatively engaged with the collection platform to move collected stray unbaled material to be reintroduced to the rebaling system.

An apparatus for paper shredding and compacting which includes a shredded paper storage portion, a movable ram disposed within the shredded paper storage portion, and a movable push rod.

A dust solidification apparatus that homogenizes dust components having a simple structure and capable of performing dust solidification in a stable manner includes: a storage tank that stores dust; a forming member within the storage tank, the forming member having a forming hole; and a pressurizing rod configured to freely advance and withdraw with respect to the inside of the forming hole, wherein the rod is made to advance into the forming hole to solidify dust filled therein, thereby obtaining a solidified substance, the forming hole has entry and discharge sections for the pressurizing rod and is in communication with the storage tank, and a stirring passage is provided in the outside of the discharge section to guide dust pushed out from the discharge section by the entry of the pressurizing rod into the entry section in a direction different from the discharge direction and to stir the dust.

A shredding and baling apparatus provided includes a shredding assembly operatively connected to a baling assembly via a conveyor. A rotatable drum with cutting teeth spirally arranged along the drum is preferably centered within a lower portion of an intake hopper for cutting through material as it is fed into the hopper. Fixed cutting teeth are preferably arranged in a row or rows along each of the longitudinal sidewalls of the hopper, adjacent the cutting drum. A touch screen display and computer may be used in combination with sensors to monitor and control the shredding and baling operation, and a hydraulic system is used to drive the components. The shredding and baling assembly is preferably designed in an industrial size to handle high volumes of material and may be driven or transported from one location to another.
