Initial Situation: Unstructured Outdoor Waste Disposal
In everyday production operations, various materials are generated simultaneously – including production waste, recyclable materials, waste oil and bulk materials. These are often collected in IBCs or roll-off containers at the same time.
Without a clear structure, typical problems can arise:
- Materials are not properly separated
- Collection points are scattered and difficult to oversee
- Internal transport routes are unnecessarily long
- Container exchanges cause operational interruptions
- Waste disposal areas are not clearly designated
This situation not only makes organisation more difficult but also has a direct impact on operational efficiency.
Objective: Creating Clear Structures for Material Flows
The aim was to organise outdoor waste disposal in such a way that:
- Different materials are properly separated
- Clearly designated storage areas are provided for collection containers
- Transport routes are reduced and operational processes simplified
- Container exchanges can be carried out smoothly
At the same time, the solution needed to integrate easily into existing production processes.
Solution: Organised Storage Areas for Roll-Off Containers and IBCs
The ABNWQ 240 combination system was installed to implement the solution. It was specifically developed for industrial waste disposal areas and allows both IBCs and roll-off containers to be stored.
The clearly organised layout allows different materials to be collected separately and efficiently prepared for subsequent recycling or disposal.
A key component of the system is its heavy-duty steel grating. This provides a stable, load-bearing working platform and ensures that the containers in use are safely positioned – even when handling large quantities of material.
Integration into Operational Processes
The system was positioned outdoors on the company premises, creating a clearly designated waste disposal area.
Loading takes place directly from production using internal transport equipment. This reduces transport distances and helps structure operational processes.
Another advantage is the easy access for waste collection vehicles. Container exchanges can be carried out quickly, allowing full containers to be collected and replaced efficiently.
Results: Organised Processes and Efficient Material Flow
The installation has enabled A. + E. Keller GmbH & Co. KG to establish a clear structure for its waste disposal process:
- Clean separation of production waste and recyclable materials
- Clearly designated storage areas for different materials and production containers
- Shorter transport routes within the facility
- Smooth container exchanges
- Fewer interruptions to production processes
This creates a stable and efficient material flow throughout the facility.
Conclusion: Organised Waste Disposal as the Basis for Efficient Processes
This project demonstrates how unstructured outdoor waste disposal processes can be systematically improved.
Clearly designated storage areas provide a practical and sustainable solution that meets the requirements of industrial waste disposal.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Reference Project
Which companies would benefit from a similar solution?
Structured outdoor waste disposal is particularly beneficial even when a company handles one or more material streams and needs to optimise its day-to-day waste management processes.
Does the company’s entire waste disposal process need to be redesigned?
No. In many cases, existing processes can be maintained and specifically improved by creating clearly designated areas and introducing a more structured layout.
How customised can such a solution be?
The solution is generally tailored to the existing conditions at the facility, taking into account factors such as available space, material types and internal operational processes.
How can you identify when improvements are needed?
Typical signs include unclear responsibilities, poorly organised collection areas and increased coordination efforts in day-to-day operations.
How is a project like this implemented in practice?
As a rule, the existing situation is first analysed before a structured solution is developed that can be integrated into the company’s existing operational processes.
