RBLI

Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company has invested in a new pallet shredder from UNTHA UK, to enhance the team’s production of materials for the biomass industry.

Established in 1919, BBMC – the social enterprise of charity Royal British Legion Industries – has long strived to support the lives of ex-service personnel. However, as the years have passed, the Aylesford-based company has gone on to also provide employment opportunities to non-veterans including people with disabilities and those out of work. More than 100 such individuals staff a £5m turnover factory, one of five divisions within the registered RBLI charity

Shredder

UNTHA LR1400

Input material

Waste timber

Output/Goal

Biomass

A new UNTHA LR1400 has just been commissioned within this factory. Having previously used a second-hand machine from a different manufacturer, the organisation’s incumbent technology was unreliable, and repeated breakdowns were putting a strain on the workflow.

Now processing up to 15 tonnes of waste timber per week, UNTHA’s single shaft LR1400 shredder is top-loaded via a forklift before producing a homogenous 50mm fraction. An overband magnet extracts any metals for reinsertion into the recycling stream, with the resulting product supplied to Jenkinsons for the biomass market.

UNTHA stood out clearly as an industry leader. A consultation with one of UNTHA’s wood shredding experts – plus a visit to see the LR1400 in action – convinced us this was the machine for us."
