Westieri Beds streamlines waste with Mil-tek Baler Solution
Handling cardboard and plastic efficiently.
More space to grow the production
The production and packaging processes of bed frames at Westieri Beds generate significant amounts of cardboard and plastic waste, so an efficient 306 baler was installed. In addition to keeping the manufacturing environment cleaner, the installation of the baler has resulted in significant cost savings.
Several processes in bed production generate waste
Westieri Beds is a UK manufacturer of divan bed frames. The production of bed frames is a fascinating blend of design, engineering, and craftsmanship. When a product is finished, it is carefully packaged to prevent damage during transportation to retailers or directly to customers.
Both the production and packaging processes generate large amounts of packaging waste in the form of cardboard and plastic.
Westieri Beds teamed up with Mil-tek, and we installed a baler on their premises to handle the waste.
Baler 306 to handle cardboard and plastic
A Mil-tek 306 baler was installed to bale the waste cardboard and clear plastics. A 306 is the old version of Mil-tek’s 406 baler. With a wide chamber that can accommodate larger pieces of cardboard and plastic from bed construction, this type of baler is highly effective for this purpose.
By disposing of cardboard and plastic – separately – directly into the baler as waste is generated, the internal workflow is greatly streamlined and a lot of space is saved.
Concentrating on making high-quality beds
Westieri Beds has experienced several benefits after teaming up with Mil-tek;
- Trips to the recycling centre have been swapped for free collection of baled materials
- The cost per load has been swapped to a rebate
- The waste areas are neater and tidier allowing for them to be utilised for production instead of waste
