Challenge: To cost effectively dispose of Super Sacks that are no longer useable.
Solution: They are using the RotoPac for compacting unusable Super Sacks. An air filtration/collection system was installed to collect dust and other small particles escaping during the compacting process.
Result: The RotoPac bags, when compacted with up to 80 large Super Sacks, form a 4’ cube makes transporting them considerably less costly.
Challenge: They were spending too much time on disposing of masking tape and plastic associated with receiving and painting aircraft in for maintenance and re-finishing. Since these materials are contaminated they had to be packaged in such a way as to meet environmental requirements. They were paying their hauler too much for its deposal.
Solution: Their Quality Control Manager, after doing research contacted KenBay who recommended the RotoPac. Premium is finding that the RotoPac is very effective in accepting and compacting large sheets of plastic along with masking tape into environmentally approved bags.
Result: They average between 600 and 700 lbs. of compacted waste material per bag. Premier found they are paying for the RotoPac in one year from the savings they are accruing from their hauler. They are very pleased with the performance of the RotoPac.
Challenge/Solution: Paper trim coming off a Muller-Martini saddle stitcher is compacted into KenBay bags weighing approximately 1,000 lbs. when filled.
Challenge: Removing and compacting their suppliers’ waste materials.
Solution: Client placed a RotoPac at “the source” which was along side packaging lines where cardboard boxes are thrown into the compactor.
Result: The boxes don’t need to be transported to the compactor and by placing the RotoPac on the shipping floor, it frees up a loading dock that other compactors would require, thus saving valuable space and person hours hauling waste.
Challenge/Solution: They recently replaced their nearly 20 year old KenBay RotoPac with a new one. The salt water finally disintegrated the cabinet but it was still crushing boxes for recycling. Phil Venturini, VP Distribution, said the original RotoPac required almost no maintenance with a minimum replacement of parts. “We use the RotoPac constantly for our card board recycling. We compact at the source of the waste thus eliminating any staging and moving boxes to the compactor. We obviously were pleased with the original RotoPac to buy a replacement.
Challenge: Destruction of cigarettes that are rejected by QA. Client needed complete destruction of cigarettes in cartons full of packs, packs and individual loose cigarettes so people would not scour dumpster/landfills trying to find and use cigarettes.
Solution: The RotoPacCrushPac was installed.
Result: Assured complete destruction of all cigarettes. Client is thrilled with the machine.
Challenge: An outside dumpster took up space used for a shipping bay so the door was left open all year round for removing trash. Most trash came from packaging materials from copier machines from overseas. Much was Styrofoam packaging that had to be removed before the copiers were sent to retail stores.
Solution: Client Warehouse & Facilities Manager brought in a RotoPac, the original rotary arm compactor
Result: Freed up one shipping bay (allowing it to be available for deliveries), reduced labor costs and even cut cooling and heating costs. NOTE: Closer waste disposal allowed them to remove the dumpster from the shipping bay and return it to its intended use. Fork lifts deliver bags of compacted waste to the now-remote dumpster and the overhead door opens only when there is shipping activity in that bay.
Challenge: Required an alternative to balers for compacting corrugated paper to be recycled. Client felt vertical balers are too labor intensive to operate and require too much training.
Solution: They purchased two RotoPacs because the rotary arm compactors can sit near the source of the cardboard boxes being discarded. When the compactor bags are filled a forklift is used to move the 600 lb bags to a trailer provided by the hauler.
Result: This process saved labor costs in removing waste since it is compacted at the source. NOTE: They discarded balers in favor of RotoPac.
Challenge: Components come into four production lines in cardboard boxes. Client wanted to recycle cardboard with minimum use of manpower.
Solution: Commercial Waste Compactors RotoPacs were placed at the head of each production line. As components come into productions lines, workers remove content and throw empty boxes into RotoPacs. When RotoPac bags are filled, a forklift operator removes bags and loads them into recycler’s truck. The cardboard is sold to a recycler with only labor involved is the forklift operator.
Result: This operation now saves much labor and while increasing the value of used cardboard.
Challenge: Compacting large volumes of waste that is collected 24 hours per day in small plastic bags.
Solution: Client recently purchased two RotoPac commercial trash compactors to replace vertical balers for compacting their waste.
Result: Their maintenance manager says his personnel love of the RotoPacs is because the industrial waste compactors are much less labor intensive and much easier to use. Therefore they compact considerably more waste in much less time.
