Kenburn Waste Management Ltd, established in 1987, has earned a reputation as a leading provider of waste management solutions in the UK. As the sole UK supplier of Europress Balex balers, manufactured in Finland, Kenburn offers cutting-edge technology designed to optimise waste handling and recycling processes. The Europress Balex range, known for its robust construction and innovative features, plays a crucial role in improving efficiency and reducing waste costs for businesses. Recently, the HBS Group, a prominent supplier of educational supplies and hygiene products, installed two Europress Balex 50 balers, underscoring the balers’ effectiveness in managing cardboard and plastic waste.
Europress Balex Balers Overview
The Europress Balex range of balers is a versatile and powerful solution for businesses looking to optimise their waste management processes. These balers are designed with a compaction force spectrum that ranges from 10 tonnes in the Balex 10 model to 50 tonnes in the Balex 50 model. This wide range allows businesses to choose a baler that perfectly fits their waste volume and material needs. The Balex 50, in particular, stands out for its exceptional power and efficiency, making it ideal for handling large volumes of waste, including dense materials like cardboard and plastic film.
Distinctive Features of Balex Balers
Two-Year Warranty
One of the standout features of the Europress Balex balers is the comprehensive two-year warranty that covers both parts and labour. This extended warranty is a significant upgrade from the standard 12-month warranties typically offered in the industry. The confidence to provide such a warranty stems from the exceptional build quality and reliability of the Balex range. These machines are engineered to withstand the rigours of daily use in demanding environments, ensuring long-term performance and durability. This robust warranty provides customers with peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected by a company that stands behind its products.
Dual Pressure Settings
The Europress Balex balers are uniquely equipped with dual pressure settings, designed to optimise the baling process for different materials, specifically cardboard and plastic. For cardboard, the machine operates at a standard pressure setting, ensuring efficient compaction. For plastic, however, the Balex balers offer a specialised setting that includes a compaction cycle delay in the down position. This delay is crucial as it allows the memory of the plastic to be removed, resulting in heavier and denser bales. This dual functionality means that one machine can effectively manage two types of materials, providing operational flexibility and cost savings.
GSM Technology
Another advanced feature of the Europress Balex balers is the integration of GSM technology, which significantly enhances the efficiency of maintenance and support. This technology allows Kenburn engineers to remotely access the balers for troubleshooting and diagnostics, reducing the need for on-site visits. For instance, if an operator accidentally triggers the emergency stop button, this can be quickly identified and resolved without the cost or delay of an engineer call-out. The ability to monitor and address issues remotely not only minimises downtime but also translates into significant cost savings for businesses, ensuring that their operations run smoothly.
Low Height Design
The Europress Balex 50 baler is designed with a powerful cross-cylinder compression system that delivers a formidable 50 tonnes of force, all within a compact structure. Despite its power, the Balex 50 is only 2.5 metres tall, making it ideal for installations in areas with low ceilings or under racking. This low height design does not compromise on performance; the machine boasts a rapid 28-second cycle time, ensuring efficient and continuous operation. The combination of powerful compression and a compact design makes the Balex 50 an excellent choice for businesses with space constraints, offering both efficiency and flexibility.
HBS Group Installation
HBS Group, recognised as the UK’s fastest-growing supplier of educational supplies and hygiene products to schools and colleges nationwide, has recently enhanced its waste management capabilities by installing two Europress Balex 50 “mill size” baling machines. These balers are specifically designated for handling two key waste materials: one baler is dedicated to compacting cardboard, while the other efficiently processes plastic film. The installation of these high-capacity machines reflects HBS Group’s commitment to improving operational efficiency and sustainability. By optimising waste handling, HBS Group is better equipped to manage large volumes of waste, contributing to more streamlined and eco-friendly operations.
