Waste Paper Collection

Efficient waste paper management is crucial for recycling operations to maximize collection efficiency and reduce operational costs. Traditional methods of conveying waste paper inside collection trucks can be labor-intensive and prone to jams and breakdowns. The deployment of a collection truck equipped with Broekema belted chain technology provides a solution that enhances efficiency, reduces downtime, and improves overall recycling processes. This case study examines the integration of Broekema belted chain in a recycling truck.

Challenges

The challenges faced included frequent jams and breakdowns with traditional conveyor belts leading to increased downtime, high labor costs associated with manual clearing of jams and frequent repairs, and inconsistent conveyance reducing truck space utilization and collection capacity. The objective was to implement Broekema belted chain technology in the recycled paper conveying system of collection trucks to reduce maintenance costs, ensure consistent paper transportation, minimize downtime, and improve overall collection efficiency.

Solution

The solution involved equipping collection trucks with Broekema belted chain systems designed for reliable and efficient recycled paper transportation. The durable belted chains handled varying sizes and types of recycled paper, reducing wear and tear and preventing jams. This robust system improved consistency and reliability in paper conveyance, enhancing the efficient use of truck space and reducing operational disruptions. As a result, maintenance costs decreased, downtime was minimized, and overall collection capacity and profitability were increased, demonstrating the significant benefits of advanced conveyor technologies in the recycling industry.
