The firm, which carries out the destruction of confidential materials and waste management services for businesses across the country appointed equipment manufacturer Whitham Mills to carry out the design and installation of the machinery of the plant.
The new Whitham Mills designed system has a document shredding capacity of four tonnes per hour and consists of two Series 600 shredders and a GB 1108FX model fully automated baler, which has a 7 tonnes-per-hour process capacity, connected by an 18.5 metre chain-driven conveyor.
Established in 2007, Green Plan-It provides destruction of confidential materials and waste management services to businesses across England.
Its new £1.5 million MRF includes an investment in Whitham Mills machinery with a list price of around £300,000.
Investment
Russell Ward, managing director at Green Plan-It, said: “This new facility at Bardon incorporating the Whitham Mills system signifies a key investment for the company which will allow us to deliver more and improved services to our growing number of customers.
“The vast majority of organisations have document security requirements and need to be able to trust the entire process we put in place. This begins at collection and ends with the final destruction.
“The new system significantly increases our waste management capacity and provides us with a system which we and our customers can be confident in.”
Managing director at Whitham Mills, Ben Smart, added: “Our systems are designed and manufactured right here in the UK by engineers who have dedicated their professional lives to solving problems faced by organisations with varied and challenging waste streams.
“We take great pride in our work and help our customers deliver on their promises to their customers. The system we have installed here is robust and in-keeping with the requirements of modern waste management companies.”
Whitham Mills has designed, installed and commissioned the system and will provide rolling 12 month service cover along with consumables supply and fitting. Green Plan-It’s new MRF opened for operations in mid-April 2015.
