Clydesdale Users
By Industry - Manufacturing
Boeing - When
huge amounts of trash began to threaten the safety and integrity of
work at an important airline manufacturing plant, Boeing plant
managers called in the Clydesdale. The small, efficient and easily
transportable Clydesdale compactor cut trash removal from six times
a day to once a day and reduced overhead costs. “Simply put,
this saved us money,” remarked Dale Catlin, Work Place Services
Transportation Analyst at Boeing. “We also reduced our overhead
costs in the purchase of plastic lids, steel boxes and casters by 70
percent.”
Maytex Mills - For the past 6 years Maytex Mills has been using the
KenBay Clydesdale for compacting their suppliers’ waste materials.
The compactor sits at the source of the waste. For Maytex Mills
“the source” is along side packaging lines where shipping
cardboard boxes are thrown into the Clydesdale. “The boxes don’t
need to be transported to the compactor and by placing the
Clydesdale on the shipping floor, it frees up a loading dock that
other compactors require, thus saving valuable space and person
hours hauling waste” said Keith Kelly, Operations Manager.
Pueblo Diversified Industries - PDI 67,000 square-foot factory in
Colorado generates trash from unusable
structural materials and internal packaging made of Styrofoam,
reformed paper, light metals, plastics, and chip board. Since
Coloradoans are generating 37% more waste than the average US
citizen (Denver is the fourth largest landfill in the country in
terms of tons dumped per year), Pueblo Diversified introduced the
KenBay Clydesdale into their facility to combat the voluminous
amount of waste being generated. Trash compressed by the Clydesdale
often is one-sixth its original size and has less of an impact on
the state's landfills, when compared with traditional waste disposal
alternatives. Pueblo Diversified also uses their Clydesdale to
recycle cardboard and other re-useable materials to further lessen
the strain on Coloradoan landfills.
Sea Ray Boats
- Sea Ray, the world’s largest manufacturer of pleasure boats,
placed two Clydesdale compactors directly on their Knoxville plant
assembly line and one in the distribution center to manage the 60
tons of trash generated while producing several score of sport
cruisers each week. Operations Manager Craig Laboranti says, “The
process of compacting our waste with the Clydesdale allowed us to
improve our tons per haul by 15 percent.” Laboranti went on to say
that both the number of forklift operators and
the hauls to the dumpster have been reduced in half since using
the Clydesdale, and because it is a self-contained unit, trash is
less visible.
