London tyre disposal

About London Tyre Disposal

London Tyre Disposal is a national tyre recycling company with a client base spanning across London and the southern counties of England. The aim of London Tyre Disposal is to efficiently discard used tyres and in doing so, help Southern England to become a cleaner, greener place. The tyres are reconditioned into products which can be used again and that are environmentally friendly.

Realising there was a niche in the tyre recycling industry, London Tyre Disposal purchased a Gradeall Mark 2 Tyre Baler in 2011 to bale tyres to PAS108 for use in construction mediums and significantly reduce the footprint waste tyres incur.

Gradeall delivered and installed the tyre baler to London Tyre Disposal premises, and within weeks, they considerably reduced transport costs and maximised the export value of the end product, using it for the environmental disposal of tyres.

What did London Tyre Disposal Have To Say?

“Dealings with Gradeall from start to finish were dealt with in a swift and professional manner and we couldn’t be happier with the results we are seeing from the MK 2 Tyre Baler. I would highly recommend Gradeall for ease of business and continued service and support”

– Steve Wilkinson MD, London Tyre Disposal.

In the effort of reducing the amount of waste tyres and eliminating their harmful effect on the environment, Gradeall supplied the growing London Tyre Disposal with the easy-to-use, effective tyre baler; the MK2 Tyre Baler. 

After Gradeall delivered and installed the MK2 Tyre Baler, the process of turning tyres into reusable and recycled materials began. The London Tyre Disposal transforms the otherwise wasteful tyres into useful and environmentally friendly materials that can be used in many projects.

Examples of these beneficial projects include:

1. Lining artificial sports tracks
2. Improving the drainage of golf tracks
3. Paving walkways and used in paving streets
4. In the agricultural sector, tyres can be broken down and used as composting material

What does the MK2 Tyre Baler provide for LTD?

1. This tyre baler uses the force of 45 tonnes to bale tyres, with up to 110 tyres into one single bale, depending on the tyre size.
2. Although the MK2 Tyre Baler cannot initially bale truck tyres, this doesn’t mean it isn’t doable. When the MK2 is teamed with a sidewall cutter, this allows for cutting the sidewalls and treads of the truck tyre. Following this process, the remaining parts of the truck tyres are stacked in the MK2 Tyre Baler following a certain pattern to allow the production of a baler containing up to 26 tyres. 
3. The MK2 Tyre Baler helped save time and money through these distinctive features:

• The MK2 Tyre Baler can produce up to 5 PAS108 bales every hour, in compliance with the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP). 
• Equipped with a simple control panel, the baler can be easily operated by one person.
• Another safety feature is the four separate front and rear doors allowing the tyres to be secured while compressing.
• Between compaction strokes, the retainers installed inside the baler prevent the compacted tyres from springing back up when the chamber is opened to add more tyres.
• The baling wire of the MK2 is designed to click onto itself, allowing for a fast and easy tying process and preventing any potential wire injuries in the workplace.
• The MK2 is equipped with bale eject chains that allow for a safe and easy ejection of the finished bale onto the forklift truck.
• An intelli-fill remote monitoring system is installed within the MK2. This system is modelled to fit a tyre baler and allows for early warnings of problems in the baling process, logging in remotely to fix problems quickly, better control of baler settings, a built-in service counter, and the system can even send you an email when the baling process is done.

Why order an MK2 Tyre Baler?

The previous features are not all that distinguish the MK2 Tyre Baler. There’s more to benefit from:

1. The power unit of the MK2 is specifically designed to consume less power and operate with minimum noise, all the while performing with excellence.
2. To further maintain the safety and health of your employees, an add-on conveyor feeding system can be added to the MK2. This saves a lot of time by cutting down on the time required for feeding the baler with tyres. At the same time, it reduces the risk of back-related injuries among your employees by making it easier to load the tyres onto the baler.
3. In addition to baling tyres, the MK2 can bale a variety of other materials such as different fabrics, carpets, wool, plastic and cardboard.
4. The client list of Gradeall International comes from different places around the world, including the US, Australia, Ireland and the UK and France.
5. The MK2 Tyre Baler is the perfect machine for vehicle dismantlers, tyre collectors and recycling centres.

The MK2 Tyre Baler is just one of our tyre recycling range. We deliver a wide range of machinery specifically designed to handle all types of tyres, all to meet the recycling needs of your business.
