Industry
Industrial concerns have a great need for waste handling solutions that cut risks in the workplace, are able to deal with diverse types of waste in different locations, and contribute to the overall business economy. Here we look at the major needs that must be met in this market segment and steer selection of the most appropriate waste handling solutions based on compaction from Orwak.
A Need to Cut Risks
Industrial workplaces often present many risks. A common one is the accumulation of waste in work areas that constitute a fire risk or may cause a person to slip or fall. Another is the constant transfer of materials around the workplace by forklift trucks that disturb activities and could cause injury. Thus it is essential to keep all areas free from clutter to minimize risk.
Too Much Waste Handling
Most industrial activities involve too much waste handling. This leads to a drop in productivity by preventing workers from concentrating on their actual jobs and encouraging work evasion. So the time spent dealing with waste must be cut dramatically.
A Diverse Range Of Waste
Waste compaction in industry deals primarily with three sources of waste: incoming packaging like cardboard, plastic, steel bands, etc., production offcuts, and rejects such as print trimmings, plastics and containers.
A Question of Location
There are three approaches to meeting waste handling needs in industrial environments. Either smaller compaction systems can be distributed around the workplace close to each source of waste, or a larger compaction system can be installed for centralized waste handling. The third approach is a combination of both distributed and centralized waste handling.
Valuable Goods
As many industrial products are valuable and represent a huge financial investment, maximum security must be maintained around the clock to prevent theft in the workplace.
Maximizing Profit
Whatever means are used to help sell products and handle the resulting waste, they must contribute to maximizing overall profitability of an organization. Thus both the income from recyclable material and the reduction of fees for waste disposal must also be maximized.
The features and benefits of Orwak`s extensive range of baling and compaction systems incorporating unequalled compaction technology more than meet the challenges presented by the industrial market segment.
Compaction Cuts Risks
Orwak balers rapidly minimize the volume of waste material to help keep workplaces free from clutter, thereby promoting unhindered movement of goods and people, as well as reducing the risks associated with accumulating loose waste. Moreover, compaction directly at source decreases the internal transport of waste along with the risk of personal injury.
Minimal Handling
The high-density waste produced at source by Orwak systems and the consequent reduction in internal transport result in less waste handling in the workplace compared with that needed to remove widespread loose waste. Thus personnel can concentrate more on their jobs and increase productivity.
Versatile Compaction
The design and robust construction of Orwak systems allow them to effectively compact a diverse range of materials such as cardboard boxes, paper packaging and sacks, plastic film and bags, and steel and plastic bands. Even containers of hazardous waste can be crushed inside drums to facilitate their disposal. Sorting of waste at source is possible using our multichamber balers to produce compact waste for both recycling and disposal.
Where You Want Them
The broad range of Orwak balers and compactors for industrial use enables you to select the right models for distributed or centralized waste handling - or a combination of both - to suit your particular needs. In addition, the small footprint of all Orwak systems ensures that they take up little floor space.
More Security
Volume reduction helps to minimize theft by producing compact waste that cannot be used to hide stolen goods and by preventing illegal entry by minimizing the opening of outer doors to remove waste.
Generating and Saving Money
Investing in an Orwak baling system is profitable. Highly compacted waste means fewer container pickups, and sorting at source yields a higher quality of waste material for recycling that is readily accepted. Sorting waste also leads to less waste for disposal, thus reducing disposal fees. Generating and saving money in this way leads to rapid system payback and achieving the best total waste handling economy.
High-performance systems combined with the most extensive range of products on the market make Orwak a natural partner for satisfying your waste handling needs.
