£8,000 savings per annum
Cannon Packing and Logistics director Greg Alder says: “The AutoLoadBaler has really helped streamline our operation here at Cannon Packing, saving us 15 man-hours per week, which will mean 800 hours and £8,000 saved per year. With the saving in labour costs and the depreciation draw down on the machine it will have achieved payback in 2 years.”
Cannon 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 located at source of waste eliminates the double handling.
