Big Results, Small Investment
A Bramidan baler is a small investment compared with not compacting your waste. Loose waste is expensive in handling, collection and rental costs. But properly compacted bales of cardboard, plastic and other recyclable materials have the potential to increase your income considerably.

Less Manpower, More Efficiency
When your staff compact waste at source, they save time, which can then be used on more profitable activities. Less collection and transport of loose waste gives better internal logistics and greater productivity.

More Room in Small Spaces
Compacting and baling can give you a lot more free space. You can store high-density bales in small places. At the same time your workflow is smoother and creates a safer work environment for your staff.

Small Steps, Large Environmental Benefits
When you compact waste for recycling, you promote better tidiness and hygiene at your workplace. But you also take steps towards less pollution of the natural environment, an important factor for your business in this ‘green’ era.

The combined know-how and customer focus is exactly why the marriage of A-ward and Bramidan is the perfect partnership.

PAK’nSAVE – Bramidan Case Study

“I believe this machine will pay for itself in less than eight months.” John Smith, Owner, PAK’nSAVE Henderson.

Well-known for its thriftiness, the mission of PAK’n SAVE brand is to provide New Zealand’s lowest food prices. This means they are always searching for ways to keep costs down. While they do their best to recycle some of the better cardboard boxes for their customers’ use, the majority of their cardboard is left over floating around the back storeroom.

Until recently, PAK’n SAVE’s solution to the excess cardboard was five very large cage cardboard recycling bins. These bins lined the driveway leading up to the storeroom, taking up a lot of space and often a nuisance for trucks driving up to deliver groceries. Staff had to walk a distance outside, rain or shine, to load the bins. Cardboard was ending up on the ground , and flew down into the stream below – a far cry from the environmentally friendly initiative intended.

It was obvious that something needed to be done to address these issues. The answer was the X50 Bramidan vertical baler. New owner of PAK’n SAVE Henderson, John Smith, had previous experience with a baler machine. The efficiency he witnesses such a machine could create immediately provoked him to look into getting one for his new franchise store. “I believe this machine will pay for itself in less than eight months” says Smith.

Checkout Manager, Nirmala Agrawal, was responsible for getting the entire team, and even visiting sales reps, up skilled on using the baler machine which they like to call the ‘Cardboard Crusher’. “Not only is everyone now using the cardboard crusher, they are actually enthusiastic about it. And there are no more pieces of cardboard flying around the storeroom” she says.

The results have been even better than expected. Trucks can now easily get close to the unloading bay. There is also huge time efficiency and happier staff due to the fact that they don’t even need to leave the storeroom. “It is just a much easier process” says Agrawal.

The bales created by the Bramidan X50 are export-quality. Agrawal goes on to say, “Even beyond all of the other benefits, we can get a much better price for these bales than we ever could from the cage bins – it doesn’t really compare at all”.

PAK’n SAVE Henderson is creating over 25 tonnes of cardboard bales per month which has resulted in an over 350% increase in income on what they were achieving in a good month from the loose cardboard in the cage bins.

In such a fast-paced environment like PAK’n SAVE Henderson, hasssle-free operations are essential. When owner John Smith was asked about his experience working with A-Ward he said, “A-Ward are just so easy to work with, we have had no issues with the product at all and it is doing exactly what I need it to do – no fuss”.
