Kite Packaging says it has taken its environmental waste management a step further thanks to the business’s new waste compacters.

Kite’s new additions allow businesses to effectively sort waste at its source, bundling and downsizing waste levels in-house, which has a knock on effect for UK waste management as it reduces the environmental impact from businesses through minimising the waste sent to landfill.

These innovative systems are the ideal economical solutions to save time, money and space for industries across the board. With four compact balers to choose from, organisations can find the machine that’s most suited to their operational requirements.

The versatile range of waste balers offers efficient compaction for different volume day to day operation and thanks to their innovative features such as an integrated kicker, that extracts the bale out once it is formed, companies can reduce costs and increase profits whilst allocating less time for the job.

Workforces can eradicate manually flattening and cramming waste into bins, as these balers compact the waste in one swift movement, therefore removing time-consuming inconsistencies that manual, disjointed waste management brings.

They can effectively compact cardboard, plastic, paper, textile and even food waste, all into one small, compact bale which can be disposed of efficiently and in the right way, therefore also encouraging recycling in the workplace.

These new waste compactors give a substantial return of investment as they can bring significant cash savings on landfill taxes and waste collection as well as reducing the manual labour costs.

Following in the footsteps of the S-Type, the new E-Type impulse heat sealer range features digital technology that increases productivity and seal quality. Sealing temperature and cycle time are now set and adjusted precisely on a digital display mounted unobtrusively on one arm of the sealing bar, giving more flexible control over seal quality and energy consumption.

Adaptive Sealing Cycle Control (ASCC) automatically adjusts the sealing and cooling time to suit the working cycle speed so that the sealing wires do not overheat during extended, high-frequency use – a common cause of premature wire burn-out and maintenance downtime.

The treadle-action pedal that mechanically lowers the sealing bar has been replaced on the E-Type with an electrical foot pedal connected to a motorised sealing bar. Now the operator can place the pedal exactly where it is most convenient and the head movement is faster and more consistent. An extra-wide 1320mm seal length model has been added to the range for larger applications and all five models ranging from 420mm to 1320mm can be supplied with an optional floor stand incorporating a film roll holder and a work table with height-adjustable bag support.

The E-Type comes with an ingress protection rating of IP33 as standard. This means that the unit is protected against the insertion of any object larger than 2.5mm (the IP23 rating of the S-Type only protects against objects larger than 12mm) and from water sprayed at any angle less than sixty degrees from vertical. Optional IP44 rating further reduces these limits to 1mm and water spray from any direction. The standard finish for the E-Type is the classic Hacona orange powder coating, with an optional silver anodised finish for food processing use.

Southgate will be supplying the E-Type through its established network of approved distributors throughout the UK and across Europe.
