Waste packaging solution
Cannon Packing and Logistics bales over 20 tonnes of cardboard per month, consisting mainly of small to medium size boxes generated from 1.75 million packs per month.
The enormous amount of loose boxes were being double handled firstly by the packing team putting them into pallet boxes, then being collected by a member of the waste team on a pallet truck and then handled again to be placed into the existing baler. This process would take 10-15 minutes per pallet box.
The AutoLoadBaler and collection cart system from Compact & Bale located at source of waste eliminates the double handling and is said to save 15 man hours per week, equating to savings of £8,000 per year.
15 collection carts are now placed at the ends of the packing lines so the Cannon waste team simply wheel the cart to the AutoLoadBaler, replace the empty cart with the full one, push the button and walk away.
‘This has led to productivity remaining at a high level and our operator even has a smile on his face whilst handling the waste packaging now!," Greg Alder, director at Cannon Packing and Logistics, said. "And with payback in two years we are very happy with the AutoLoadBaler.’
