“When companies compact their waste right at the source of its generation there are two immediate benefits: first, it cleans up the worksite and promotes hygiene and cleanliness, especially if wet waste is combined with other waste; second, it saves money by reducing labor and increasing dumpster capacity.” Sharma Pillalamarri of the Bakery Industry Technical & Management Advisor writes. 

The most prominent application for the RotoPac in the food industry is that of disposing of those ubiquitous 50 lb. bags in which ingredients are shipped. Bakeries, in particular, place the RotoPac where these bags are emptied into it in the production line, nearly eliminating all labor necessary to remove the bags from the floor. In other food processing plants, the RotoPac, located at the start of the production process, compacts corrugated boxes where meat and other ingredients are received and in many cases the corrugate is recycled for rebates.
