Balex 30 “Carpet Crusher”

See the Carpet Crusher in Action

The ” carpet crusher ” makes light work of large quantities of carpet offcuts. Whilst its small in size, it has a large capacity and delivers high press forces for fast, easy compression of carpets.

With its extremely wide load opening the "carpet crusher" has the capacity to handle larger pieces of carpet. This makes the daily use much easier.

The topic of “recycling” has become more prominent recently and the public are now more interested in what happens to their waste. Promoting your company’s “zero waste to landfill” policy impresses potential customers.

By renting or purchasing a carpet crusher and advising potential customers that their waste is recycled has proven to increase sales conversion rates.

Marie Rhodes, Membership Co-ordinator, CRUK comments “The easy to operate “Kenburn Carpet Crusher” has been designed specifically to significantly reduce the volume of waste carpet with a 4:1 compaction ratio. 

By simply reducing the volume of waste carpet, transport costs to the numerous carpet recycling plants throughout the UK are kept to a minimum.

Kenburn and Carpet Recycling UK can provide free impartial advice on how best to recycle a material which is currently going to landfill will no doubt be costing you a fortune.

 

Introduced to the flooring industry back in 2013, the Kenburn carpet crusher has enabled many retailers and contractors to divert thousands of tonnes of new and uplifted carpet and underlay waste from landfill. The concept is simple; the machine has a hydraulic ram and the 30 tonnes of compaction force crush the materials into a cube which then ejects onto a pallet. The pallets are then collected and the materials recycled.

With skip costs increasing by a staggering 250% over the past few years and advances in technology, it now costs less to recycle carpet and underlay waste than it does to send it to landfill.

 

The Kenburn Carpet Crusher also compacts cardboard and plastic waste as well and these waste streams generate revenue. To find out how much you could save on your waste disposal costs please contact us to arrange a free of charge waste survey.

As members of CRUK, Kenburn visit flooring contractors and retailers throughout the UK offering free impartial advice on how best to recycle waste carpet.

Kenburn works closely with Carpet Recycling UK and numerous carpet recycling outlets throughout the UK, using the carpet waste to be processed into usable products such as equestrian flooring.
