At Arcus Cleaning Systems, we take great pride in seeing how the bespoke VASA IBC Reconditioning System we designed for Packaging Laundry has supported their growth over the past four years. Knowing that the system has enabled them to recondition more than 100,000 IBCs for reuse, rather than letting those containers go to waste, is a powerful example of how our VASA container cleaning product range is driving real impact in the circular economy.
From the outset, the focus was on building a system that not only increased throughput but also made a measurable impact on efficiency - reducing water, chemical, power, and labour consumption far beyond what had been possible with their previous equipment.
Our partnership with Bernard and the team has exemplified what strong supplier–client collaboration can achieve. As Packaging Laundry has expanded, so too has our own capability and ambition as a company. We’re delighted that the trust built over these years has led us to embark together on another significant project, and we look forward to supporting their continued success for many years to come.
Bernard Lee, Managing Director, Packaging Laundry Ltd had the following to say:
“When we invested in the Arcus VASA IBC Reconditioning System four years ago, we were replacing a less efficient machine that was holding back our throughput. Arcus took the time to understand exactly what we needed and delivered a bespoke system built around our requirements. I’ll be straight about it - as with any custom-built machine, there were some growing pains at the start, but Arcus stood over their work from day one. Their engineering and aftermarket support have been first-class, with regular servicing, quick response when needed and every spare part on hand to keep us moving.
In those four years, the system has helped us recondition well over 100,000 IBCs for reuse - containers that might otherwise have been scrapped. That capability has not only strengthened our business, it has allowed us to play our part in the circular economy, something that’s becoming increasingly important to our customers and our industry.
The result has been a machine that has run with virtually zero downtime and has played a major role in our ability to expand the business. Reliability is everything in our industry and Arcus has proven to be a supplier we can trust - one that treats the relationship as seriously as we do.”
We look forward to continuing this partnership with Packaging Laundry for many years to come!
