Kingspan is a global manufacturer of Insulation panels and structural products for the building industry. Due to their high turn over of production they where left with a substantial amount of varied waste from suppliers and inhouse. To tackle this mixed and high volume waste, several machines where installed from the MACFAB range, including the MACFAB 650 MACFAB 75 and MACFAB 75Mutli-Chamber.

“We have several locations on site where balers are situated, with training and awareness we are recycling nearly all our waste not only produced on site but also from suppliers. The payback on this recycling facility has being quite rewarding and a recommended choice of recycling. We find that not only are the MACFAB Balers robust but very seldom give us maintenance problems. ”

Frimley NHS Trust were already way ahead when it come to waste management and recycling. As a site that ‘cares not just for patients but the environment’ Frimley NHS Trust management teams are always looking at improving the services they provide and controlling costs.

It was with the recycling of food cans that a MACFAB Baler was able to help. The hospital was already recycling food cans produced by the huge canteen and kitchen areas but it was using viable resources and money. The kitchen staff would place the cans in to large plastic bags, store them and then move them to the can banks were the local authority collected every day. This presented problems, the site was always busy with traffic and had not been designed for large HGV to travel around. The loading of the 4 can banks also meant that the traffic on the one-way system was stopped for 15 minutes.

After a site audit and waste assessment it was clear that the MACFAB 75 with can crushing attachment would be ideally suited to their requirements; compact, quiet and easy to operate whilst coping with the huge daily throughput. With machines always in stock the equipment was delivered within 5 days, to ensure that the hospital began saving money sooner rather than later.
