Pallets, made from a number of different materials, are not the cheapest thing a business can buy. They are, however, a necessary item to hold tools, equipment and parts as well as ingredients for the products each business makes. They are also used to ship those finished products to the distributors. One way to save some money is to purchase the recycled pallets California recyclers offer for sale.
The new handy items have a fairly mundane life span. The most common ones were made from virgin wood fibers of the least expensive sort. They are mass produced so that, even though there are a great number of different dimensions, each one is the same size and height in that particular run.
Wooden platforms such as these are used for any number of things. Moving parts and chemicals around is one of them. They are designed of light weight yet sturdy stringers and slats. The slats are designed to allow the placement of materials with space for liquid to escape though the top. Stringers, of course, are for the strength and fork lift fork placement.
One of the things these items had to handle was the outside, even in horrible weather. They held their load or were simply stored outside because it was easier to do this than hold them inside. This contributed to their inevitable breakdown. They were usually used for only a short time and then were picked up by the recyclers.
Depending on the material they are fabricated from, the process can be fairly straight forward. Since recycling is the activity that causes something that is not usable to be made into something usable, the pallet must have several things done with and to it. Not the least of which is the classification of each one into what must be done to it to make it usable.
When dealing with wood pallets, any slats that are broken must be removed and replaced. This is usually done with one from one of the other pallets or pieces secured from the stack they have standing by. If a stringer has a problem, this can be remedied with a splice with another piece of wood.
The composition type pallets, such as fiberglass or polyvinyl will need a slightly different process for recycling. After a brief inspection, as long as the basic structure is sound, they are cleaned with high pressure. A patch is applied to any holes and cemented in place with high heat. These types are stronger and can withstand a bit more abuse than others.
Recycling anything is a good idea. These types of tools are important enough that a lot has gone into keeping them clean and secure as well as making sure they can be put to use somewhere else. With the right recycling company doing it, they can be used over and over again.
