The LSM V5HD Baler provides an effective solution for businesses looking at reducing Can & PET Waste, while making better use of available space.

Two recent V5HD installations in Italy demonstrate how baling can & PET waste,  minimises material handling and improves day-to-day waste management.

Reducing Can & PET Waste in a Sardinia Recycling Company

50% reduction in material handling + valuable storage space freed up.

The Challenge

A recycling company in Sardinia was handling approximately two 1,100-litre bins of cans and PET every day.

Before installing the V5HD, the material was stored loose in 1,100-litre bins, with four or five full bins regularly taking up valuable space in the storeroom.

With storage space at a premium, the company needed a way to significantly reduce the volume of the material while also reducing the amount of handling required.

The Solution

The LSM V5HD was installed to compact cans and PET directly on site.

Combining strong compaction performance with a compact footprint, the V5HD provided a practical solution for reducing the amount of space required to store the material.

The Results

Since installing the V5HD, the company has freed up valuable space within its storeroom and achieved an approximately 50% reduction in material handling.

Instead of allowing multiple 1,100-litre bins of loose material to accumulate, cans and PET can now be compacted at source, making the overall waste handling process more efficient.

“The LSM V5HD Baler is always a good solution for compacting cans and PET, delivering high performance in a small space.”

Reducing Can & PET Waste in the Verona Food Industry

50% reduction in waste volume + 50% reduction in trips to/from the container.

The Challenge

At a food industry site in Verona, approximately two to three bins of tin cans were being generated each day.

The cans were previously handled manually and transported to a waste container. The company wanted to reduce both the volume of the material and the number of trips required to and from the container.

The Solution

The LSM V5HD was selected as the most suitable solution for compacting the site’s tin cans.

By compacting the cans at source, the company could substantially reduce the volume of material before it needed to be moved to the waste container.

The Results

Following the installation of the V5HD, the company achieved a 50% reduction in both waste volume and trips to and from the container.

The machine has also been straightforward for employees to operate, with staff reporting that the V5HD was easy to use from day one.

One Compact Solution, Different Applications

These two installations demonstrate the versatility of the LSM V5HD across different working environments.

Whether handling cans and PET within a recycling operation or tin cans within the food industry, compacting material at source can help businesses reduce waste volumes, save valuable space and minimise unnecessary material handling.

With its compact footprint and strong compaction performance, the V5HD provides a practical solution for businesses that need to manage high volumes of recyclable material within limited space.
