If you are the owner of a wood processing plant, isn’t your heart a little clogged when you look at the wood chips, shavings and trimmings piled up in your workshop every day? These “waste materials” take up space, not to mention that it costs money to deal with. I have a friend Lao Zhang, opened a small and medium-sized furniture factory, a few years ago and I complained: “a year just pull the waste will have to spend 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, the Environmental Protection Agency also three days to check, it is really annoying.” Later, he put on a Compressed Wood Pallet Machine, not only clean waste, but also more than 200,000 profit. He said, “This machine is simply my ‘money tree’!”
Old Zhang’s experience makes me want to talk to you: these piles of waste in the corner, in fact, hiding a big business opportunity. Today, I will start from his story, tell how to use pressed wood pallet machine to turn the lumber mill into a money-making machine.
Trouble with waste materials: a pity to throw, not throw more headaches
Let’s start with the daily life of a lumber mill. Sawing wood, making furniture, waste is a by-product that can’t be avoided. Do you also have these annoyances?
- Treatment costs like a bottomless pit
Wood shavings sold a ton of dozens of dollars, not enough for freight; hire someone to pull away even more expensive, a few hundred dollars a car, a year down tens of thousands of dollars are gone. Old Zhang told me that he used to pull five or six cars of waste a month, counting a small 100,000 a year can not escape.
- Environmental protection pressure makes people breathless
Now the policy is very strict, the waste can not just pile up, burn more can not, the Environmental Protection Agency staring at you, a little over the standard is a ticket. Once the old Zhang factory piled up too much wood chips, the neighbors complained, almost stopping rectification.
- Wasted resources
Looking at the waste, the old Zhang always feel sorry: “This is all good wood ah, throw away how wasteful!” But in addition to selling it to paper mills or burning it, he really can’t think of any other way.
Do you have similar feelings? Waste material is like a hot potato, keep it to occupy space, throw it away to burn money, always feel unsettled.
Pressed wood pallet machine: the “wizard” who turns waste material into gold
Lao Zhang’s turnaround began with a pressed wood pallet machine. One day, he heard peers mention this thing, half-heartedly went to see the manufacturer. When he came back, he called me, his tone of voice excited: “This machine can press wood chips into pallets and sell them for money, I should have tried it long ago!
- From “waste” to “treasure”
This machine uses high-temperature and high-pressure technology, wood chips, shavings and even dead straw, mixed with a little glue and pressed into a strong molded pallet. The finished product is not only load-bearing, but also insect-proof and moisture-proof, and can be directly exported. Lao Zhang calculated that his factory every day dozens of kilograms of waste, the past is a negative asset, now a day can press more than 20 trays, sold a 15 yuan, the cost of only a few dollars. Waste did not spend a penny, pure profit!
- Disposal fees become a profit stream
Previously, Lao Zhang spent 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year to deal with waste, now not only save the money, but also an additional line of income. He signed a supply contract with several logistics companies, selling hundreds of pallets every month, earning more than 200,000 yuan a year. He said, “Before the waste is a burden, now is my second production line!”
- Environmental compliance, but also earn a reputation
Molded pallets have a big advantage: high-temperature molding, natural pest control, no fumigation, export standards. A nearby exporter knows that Lao Zhang uses waste materials to make pallets, and specially came to cooperate with him, but also praised him: “You do a good job of environmental protection, and the quality of the pallets is not bad.” As a result, Lao Zhang’s factory reputation is getting louder and louder, and the orders are not lined up.
How much does a ton of waste earn? Profit account to show you
You may ask, this machine can really make money? I helped Lao Zhang calculate the account, but also to show you how big this business opportunity is in the end.
- Raw material costs:scrap is basically free, assuming a bit of transportation and finishing costs, a ton is calculated 20 yuan. Glue and electricity costs add up to another 50 yuan per ton, the total cost of 70 yuan / ton.
- Yield: one ton of scrap can press 50 standard pallets (counted by 1200x1000mm).
- selling price:the market molded pallet 15 yuan / a, 50 is 750 yuan.
- Profit:750 yuan – 70 yuan = 680 yuan / ton.
Old Zhang factory produces 30 tons of waste a month, used to spend 2,000 yuan to pull away, now earn 680 x 30 = more than 20,000 yuan. A year is 240,000, minus machine operating costs (electricity, labor counts 50,000), net income of nearly 200,000 yuan. That’s not counting the disposal fees saved, the actual earnings are even higher. How much waste is in your plant? Might as well do the math!
What do users say? The real voice of the owner of the lumber mill
Just look at the numbers may not be enough, I purposely found a few used pressed wood pallet machine boss chat, their stories are quite touching.
- Lao Zhang (furniture factory owner):
“I tried to sell waste to paper mills, 50 dollars a ton and had to beg people to collect it. Now pressed into pallets, a ton earns a few hundred, customers also take the initiative to find the door. After the machine ran for a year, I added another one!”
- Xiao Li (wood processing plant workers):
“The boss let me manage this machine, the operation is very simple, just press a few buttons. There is less waste material, the factory is much cleaner, and even the environmental protection inspections are not afraid.”
They all say that this machine is not only a money-making tool, but also makes the factory run more smoothly. Who wouldn’t love it if the pile of waste material is gone and the profit is piled up?
What makes this machine so reliable?
You may wonder how this pressed wood pallet machine can turn waste into treasure. I researched its technology and user feedback, and a few highlights are worth mentioning:
Raw materials are super flexible: wood chips, shavings, straw, coconut shells can be used, the factory has a casual throw in on the line.
High efficiency: a machine can press hundreds of trays a day, holding 5 minutes a sheet, stable output.
Save money and electricity: servo system energy saving 25%-55%, half the cost of electricity than traditional equipment.
strong and durable: three-beam, four-pillar design, even pressure, run two or three years without any major problems.
Old Zhang also told me that the machine does not occupy a large area, cement floor paved 15cm is enough, maintenance is also clear wood chips, add some oil, even an old worker in his factory will get. This is a real hassle-free for the busy timber factory.
How many business opportunities are hidden in your factory?
Write here, I want to ask you: plant those waste materials, what do you plan to do? Keep paying to haul them away, or try to turn them into money? One of my customers told me: “There is no shortage of wood in the lumberyard, what is lacking is a way to put it to good use.” The pressed wood pallet machine is that solution.
Imagine: the waste pile is gone, replaced by a neat pile of pallets; the disposal fee is gone, hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit are added to the account; the EPA doesn’t look for trouble, and the customers come to us on their own initiative. This picture, is not quite tempting?
If you are tempted, you may want to talk to the manufacturer. They can recommend the right model according to your waste volume and demand, but also can calculate how long the investment back. Old Zhang was trying to ask at first, and the result completely changed the life of the factory. How about you? Do you want to try?
How do you handle waste in your factory? Do you have any special experience you’d like to share? I’d love to hear your story, so feel free to leave a comment!
