Celuform pulverises the opposition

Celuform has commissioned the new equipment at the main UK site in Aylesford, Kent, as well as a twin cylinder industrial compactor to compact non-recyclable waste for delivery to landill.

The plastics industry is well known for achieving high percentages of recycled and reworked material, but one building products manufacturer is going further than most by investing GBP100,000 in a dedicated grinding and pulverising machine that will raise reclaim levels even higher.

Celuform, the PVU-ue roofline, cladding and window products company, has commissioned the new equipment at the main UK site in Aylesford, Kent, as well as a twin cylinder industrial compactor to compact non-recyclable waste for delivery to landill.

Andy Jarrett, the company's operations manager says that these developments are key to ensuring that the highest environmental and sustainability standards are maintained.

"Because we process tens of thousands of tonnes of PVC each year, the investment has a double benefit: we reduce our environmental impact and will save money," he said.

"Also, as raw material prices have risen by leaps and bounds over the past two years, any action that minimises the effects of rising costs have got to be good for our customers".

"In addition, the installations will improve our self-reliance because all processing operations are now in-house".

Celuform produce a full range of roofline, cladding and windowboards to suit all applications.

Features include plain or decorative choices, square or bull-nosed profiles, as well as a wide selection of white finishes and colours such as Expresso Brown, Mahogany, Golden Oak and Ebony.

Widths range from 150 - 450mm.

Widely specified Celuform brands include Conquest, Elite, Esprit and Duoform.

Celuform was the first UK manufacturer of PVC-ue building products and, following the acquisition of Vekatrim earlier this year, is now the UK's largest manufacturer of cellular plastic roofline and cladding products.
