With wood waste disposal prices continuing to rise across the UK, businesses are under pressure to cut costs without compromising operations. From pallets and crates to bulky offcuts, timber waste takes up valuable space and drives up collection fees.

That’s where Flame UK’s Roller Crusher makes the difference. Designed to triple container capacity and cut CO₂ emissions by up to 66%, our roller crusher delivers the same performance as leading compaction equipment — at a lower capital cost and with faster, more flexible operation.

How Our Roller Crusher Works

Advanced Rotary Drum with Precision Teeth

The heavy-duty rotary drum features pointed teeth that crush wood waste efficiently, breaking down pallets, crates, and bulky offcuts into compact material. This design ensures maximum performance with a compact footprint — ideal for busy yards and limited spaces.

High-Performance Compaction

Leading brands like Bergmann set the industry benchmark at 6× compaction. Their equipment can reduce 1–2 tonnes of waste into 8–12 tonnes per 35-yard container.
Flame UK’s Roller Crusher delivers comparable compaction rates, ensuring you achieve the same industry-leading efficiency at a more accessible cost.

Flexible & User-Friendly Operations

Our system is designed with your business in mind. Features include:

Adjustable compaction cycles
Continuous loading capacity
Optional mobile unit configurations
