The LSM Roller Crush is a high-performance pallet crushing machine designed to efficiently reduce bulky waste, including timber pallets, wood recycling materials, and large-scale industrial waste. Engineered with a robust steel-welded design and an electro-mechanical drive, the Roller Crush helps businesses optimise wood waste management by significantly reducing the volume of waste transported, cutting down on logistics costs and environmental impact.
A recent report by Fresh Produce Journal highlights a significant uplift in wooden pallet reuse, emphasising the growing need for efficient timber and wood waste recycling solutions. The LSM Roller Crush aligns perfectly with this need, enabling businesses to compact and ready timber and wood waste for reuse and recycling.
