The company, which specialises in kitchens, furniture, staircases, doors and windows needed extra space in order to continue to grow and moved just next door into a larger facility where it now has a workshop, spray shop, assembly area, storage, offices and a showroom.
The move necessitated the installation of a modern wood waste extraction system and the company turned to Wood Waste Control (Engineering) Ltd (WWC). WWC manufactured and installed a WFS-1950-3J silo filter with a rotary valve feeding the extracted waste dust into a Reinbold briquette machine.
A carousel takes the resulting briquettes and automatically loads them into bags. The company now has the option of either burning the briquettes for its own heating requirements, or selling them.
“It’s a great way to deal with the waste we produce,” said Paul Lewis, of Law & Lewis. “There is a financial benefit from no longer having to pay landfill charges and an environmental benefit from creating something useful from our waste,” he added.
