AlLR a busy session during the appliance display at the recent Institute of Public Cleansing conference, representatives of Ronald Perham Ltd. took the new Shark refuse collector out on demonstration in Bournemouth. This was an opportunity to provide practical evidence of the Shark's ability to crush difficult items like disused furniture.
Among unusual objects that were dispatched were three bicycles, eight cycle wheels and a riveted cylindrical cistern. In the Kuka system which is employed here there is a triple method of compaction which, where refuse is light, may reach a volume reduction ratio of 4:1. Initially Perhams are importing the Shark, but the intention is that later it will be manufactured under licence in Britain.
