A world fi rst: Highlander International Recycling pioneer new solar equipment
HIGHLANDER International Recycling has provided recycling services to Arjo Wiggins since 2013 and pioneered innovations such as solar-powered compactors and ‘smart’ auto alert compactors.
Now the two companies have combined these technologies to install the world’s very fi rst solar powered ‘smart’ compactor machine.
Highlander installed a new solar powered ‘auto-alert’ compactor system, which alerts Highlander and Arjo staff whenever the compactor is three-quarters full and requires emptying.
This alert system allows an interactive experience with the compactor machine, meaning improved operation effi ciency all round.
This means they only empty the compactor when required, thus improving the cost per tonne of each collection.
The unit also provides electronic self-diagnosis, meaning if any fault develops with the machine, they can log-in and warn the engineers of the problem in advance. This means any replacement parts required can be brought with them, resulting in quicker machine repair times.
The machine’s location could not economically support a power supply being brought to it, so Highlander used solar panels to ensure a ready-made, free and abundant power source without having to spend tens of thousands of pounds in cabling.
The auto-alert system in place for the new Arjo waste compactor transmits an e-mail and / or text message to nominated operators (up to seven is possible) who can then take appropriate action.
This alert system allows an interactive experience with the compactor machine, meaning improved operation effi ciency all round.
The machine comes with a side tipper unit which is designed to accommodate wheeled bins from 240 to 1100-litre capacity, meaning waste can be collected from diff erent departments and brought to a central location for bin tipping and compaction, resulting in reduced transport and disposal costs.
Highlander International Recycling is able to supply these compactors to businesses in Scotland at competitive weekly rental costs.
