A Lancashire joinery company has purchased a wood waste heater from Wood Waste Technology to save money on its operating costs.
Station Yard Joinery Ltd manufactures high end bespoke furniture from its woodworking machine shop in Earby, Lancashire. When the business moved into its current unit about a year ago, the 4500ft2 building, with its high roof, proved to be a cold place to work in the winter months.
Having experienced the benefits of wood waste heaters at a previous company, MD of Station Yard Joinery, Martin Conboy, decided the business should invest in one, so contacted Wood Waste Technology.
Following a survey and a quote, the business purchased a WT5 that was installed by Wood Waste Technology’s experienced engineers. It provides much needed heating for the workshop in winter, but also provides free disposal of the large amount of waste wood generated from the manufacturing process.
Having previously invested in a dust collection system and a briquetting machine, Station Yard Joinery also has the ability to recycle some of its waste into briquettes, to be used in the wood waste heater alongside its general wood waste.
“It makes no sense to spend hundreds of pounds on skips to get rid of our wood waste when we can burn it to convert it into heat for the factory,” says Martin. “We’ve definitely made the right decision for our business by investing in the wood waste heater. It’s a great piece of kit which will keep us warm and save us money.
“In addition, we’re looking forward to recycling our dust into briquettes, which will burn really well in the wood waste heater!”
MD of Wood Waste Technology, Kurt Cockroft adds: “It’s great that the team at Station Yard Joinery can burn their waste and briquettes in the heater to generate warmth in the workshop, instead of paying for skips to take it away”.
Wood Waste Technology offers a full range of wood waste heaters, from small hand fired units to larger fully automatic systems, and offers site survey and design, as well as manufacture, installation and on-going maintenance. The company also services all types of wood waste heaters and supplies genuine spares up to 60% cheaper than other suppliers.
In addition, Wood Waste Technology is the UK’s official distributor for Gross Apparatebau GmbH – a German manufacturer of dependable, precision engineered shredders and briquetters. The company is also a distributor for Putzmaus boiler tube cleaning systems – a powerful but gentle routine maintenance solution that is quick and easy to use, and helps to increase boiler efficiency and lower operating costs.
