Prime Cargo is an international forwarding company with headquarters in Kolding, Denmark. With offices and agents all over the world this company is total supplier of transport solutions at sea, on the road and in the air but also when it comes to storage and logistics.
Now the employees throw their cardboard waste directly into the hopper of the compactor. No need for extra space for storage of waste. Due to the fact that the employees need not leave the building and go outside with waste anymore, they speeded up repacking, resulting in an increased service level.
The conclusion from Peter Høilund, Facility Manager at Prime Cargo is clear: "We chose Bramidan because we wanted a waste solution where the quality corresponds to the service level, we give to our customers ourselves. We just went for the Rolls Royce model."
The screw compactor is efficient and handles huge quantities of cardboard, even with continuous feeding. In this way Prime Cargo avoids that the waste causes unnecessary accumulation.
Compared to the old waste solution, the quantity of compressed waste per screw compactor has now been doubled, due to the high degree of compaction.
This means that Prime Cargo have experienced considerable savings with regard to transport of full containers, and collections have been reduced by 50%.
