Did you know that disposing of liquid waste can be an expensive drain on your business’ resources? If 1,000 litres of liquid, impregnating old food waste, weighs 1 tonne, the typical disposal cost through a portable waste compactor is around £150 per tonne.
Although Compact & Bale offer fully seam-welded, sealed, and self-cleaning wet food waste compactors designed to handle liquids without damage, the real issue lies in the cost; you still pay a premium for every tonne of liquid waste they contain.
An international food producer near Heathrow recently made a smart investment in five new Ludden & Mennekes L20 portable compactors. These units feature raised charge boxes, fully perforated floors, drain-off channels, and 2-inch taps to efficiently separate liquids from solid waste.
By implementing this system, for every 12.5 tonnes of waste processed, they extract 2,000 litres (2 tonnes) of liquid, which is treated in our client’s on-site effluent plant.
With an average of 40 tonnes of waste generated daily, this results in a daily saving of:
6.4 tonnes x £150 = £960 per day
At this rate, the savings alone will cover the cost of all five compactors in less than four months.
