Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Pallet/Bearer Dismantler |
| Model | Pass One |
| Classification | Other (Pallet / bearer dismantler ) |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | Dismantles used pallets very quickly and safely without the need to use cutting saws |
| Operating Principles | Beyond economical repair pallets are placed on the dismantling table and a hydraulic system then drives the pallet through cutting wheels which remove damaged bearers. Pallets can either be completely dismantled for further processing or just have damaged boards removed to allow for repair |
| Additional Information | This equipment is already extensively utilised by major pallet suppliers in Australia with significant success in redirecting landfill waste to both landscaping and biomass fuel sources. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
