A joinery company in Suffolk has purchased a wood waste heater from Wood Waste Technology to save money on its operating costs.
Cleveland Joinery (East Anglia) Ltd has been producing high-quality bespoke joinery from its workshop for over 30 years, for both commercial and private customers. Having previously experienced the benefits of a wood waste heater, the management team at Cleveland Joinery (E.A.) started looking for a model that complied with the Clean Air Act due to the workshop being surrounded by residential properties.
Cleveland Joinery (E.A.) operates out of two buildings that were previously boat sheds, which have been connected to form one working workshop. With no in-built source of heating, the only options to keep the employees warm were bottled gas or electric heaters – both of which could be quite costly to use in today’s economy.
Operations Manager Andrew Cleveland saw an advert in the trade press from Wood Waste Technology and got in touch to find out more. Following a conversation with Kurt Cockroft, MD at Wood Waste Technology and a site survey, a WT5 heater was ordered and installed at the company’s 4500 sq. ft unit in Lowestoft by Wood Waste Technology’s experienced engineers, who were able to duct the heat to warm both the workshops from one heater.
Andrew says: “The heaters are great value for money and ideal for woodworking companies like ours. Wood is a natural by-product of our business, so it’s great to be able to save money on waste disposal costs by burning our wood offcuts and turning them into free heating. And, given the increases in fuel costs recently, we purchased a wood waste heater at exactly the right time! We think the heater will have paid for itself in around a year because of all the savings it is providing.
“We’ve been delighted with the advice from Wood Waste Technology about the size of heater to buy and the best place to locate it within our building, as well as the ongoing service. Coming to work in a warm environment makes everyone happier, plus we’re saving money, so the wood waste heater is proving very effective.”
“We’re delighted that the company is enjoying the benefits of its wood waste heater,” says Kurt Cockroft, MD of Wood Waste Technology. “Businesses generating waste wood should investigate the benefits of biomass technology to reduce operating costs and improve the bottom line. Like Cleveland Joinery (E.A.), some companies get payback on the investment in less than 12 months.”
Wood Waste Technology’s years of expertise in wood waste solutions have helped many companies reduce their waste disposal and heating costs. As well as offering site survey, design, manufacture, installation and ongoing maintenance for new units, the company also services all types of wood waste heaters and is proud to claim that it supplies genuine spares “up to 60% cheaper than other suppliers”.
