With Bramidan
Significantly cheaper maintenance with a baler
High maintenance costs
Says Leader Price buyer, Mr Cresson, “Rotocompactors are an expensive investment requiring a full service contract as the machines need to be checked every quarter. That’s another €870 per year for each unit”.
To that can be added the expense of consumables – 1,100 litre plastic bags are used for both plastic and cardboard waste and must be replaced regularly.

Meeting logistical needs
Inflexible rotocompactor solution
The logistical challenges were also becoming critical. Leader Price staff faced ongoing problems stacking the rounded cardboard bags. As storage capacity is limited, this necessitated an increasing number of collections.
Working conditions were also seriously compromised with the rotocompactor, as the machines need water to prevent dust from spreading inside the warehouse while cardboard is being smashed. “This solution was no longer viable environmentally, given possible water shortages,” Mr Cresson explained.

The solution – and 30% saved!
Direct savings of 30% on equipment
By choosing the Bramidan B20 and X25 HD balers, Leader Price was able to cut down costs on new equipment by 30%. Maintenance costs were also significantly reduced as the superreliable balers only require servicing annually.
On the production side, Bramidan balers have contributed to an increase in the value of cardboard, since the material is no longer moistened with water. Moreover, Leader Price stores can now stack up to three bales in their warehouse. This reduces the average number of collections to one a week.
Today, both cardboard and plastics are being compacted with the same machine, resulting in significant space savings as the footprints of the B20 and X25 HD are much lower than the rotocompactors. Best of all, staff are now enjoying better working conditions. The new balers are less noisy than their predecessors and drier too – eliminating the odor problems associated with mould.
Clear benefits
For Leader Price this waste solution offers clear benefits: A rational investment with savings on many levels – from maintenance costs to increased revenues for waste materials. They also had more available space for storage and improved working environment.
