Capespan, is joining the environmental revolution with a new recycling solution for its base in Sheerness.
The company has recently purchased a large feed aperture Durapac CB-65 from waste and recycling provider, Compact and Bale, which it hopes will dramatically increase its waste efficiency, turning out bales double the size made by its existing vertical baler.
It has also freed up space, Capespan said, improving the site’s overall safety by removing the build-up of empty cartons more quickly and reducing the fire risk.
In addition, its design will mean less staff involvement as it does not have to be continuously manned. “We saved ourselves the need to employ two full-time operating personnel with our new cardboard recycling machinery,” Capespan’s Matthew Newns said. “The machine is semi-automatic so once the material has been thrown in the hopper, the member of staff can walk away knowing the machine will cycle once the volume in the hopper reaches the required level.”
