Industrial presses form manufacturing operation backbones across Kenya, shaping everything from automotive panels to appliance components. When reaching productive life end, disposal becomes significant. Bestcare Facilities Management offers specialized press recycling services safely handling these formidable machines.
Industrial presses rank among the heaviest manufacturing machines. Mechanical presses weigh 50+ tons while large hydraulic presses exceed 100 tons. This massive weight makes removal a complex engineering challenge requiring specialized equipment and experienced personnel.
Press variety demands adaptable approaches. Mechanical presses with flywheel storage present different challenges than hydraulic presses. Servo presses incorporate sophisticated electronics. Transfer presses add automated handling complexity. Our team’s cross-type experience ensures appropriate handling.
Safety dominates removal. Presses store enormous energy in flywheels, hydraulic accumulators, and springs. Improper handling can release this catastrophically. Our certified technicians follow lockout-tagout procedures and energy isolation protocols protecting everyone involved.
Value recovery opportunities exist throughout projects. Die sets often retain significant value. Press frames contain thousands of pounds of recyclable cast iron and steel. Hydraulic components, motors, and controls may suit refurbishment and resale.
Environmental responsibility guides processes. Hydraulic presses contain hundreds of liters of oil requiring proper disposal. Mechanical presses use various lubricants. Electronic controls fall under e-waste regulations. We manage all materials according to standards.
Foundation removal often accompanies disposal. Large presses mount on substantial concrete pits extending meters below floor level. Our services include concrete breaking, pit filling, and floor restoration.
Dismantling requires careful planning. Removal typically begins with ancillary equipment, then controls and electrical, finally systematic press disassembly separating crown, uprights, and bed into manageable sections.
Bestcare has recycled presses from automotive plants, appliance manufacturers, and metal fabrication shops throughout Kenya, handling presses from 10 to 200+ tons capacity including Schuler, Komatsu, and Aida equipment.
Documentation accompanies all services including weight tickets, disposal certificates, and photographic documentation satisfying governance requirements and protecting against future liability.
