Above and Beyond Since Day One

S&S Bakery

Challenge

An overwhelming amount of 50lb sacks needed to be compacted “smack in the middle of the production area.” The noise generated from a traditional compactor would prove overwhelming and be a detriment to a productive, happy workforce.

Solution

Placed the RotoPac with a hood.

Result

It’s high compaction, small footprint, proved ideal for compacting 50lb sacks (commonplace in the food industry). It has the additional benefit of being quieter than a vacuum cleaner and compacts at a high rate while the hood aided in containing the dust.

Williams Food

Challenge

50lb sacks being opened and their contents dumped into blenders on mezzanine level while bags were placed into numerous dumpsters before being removed from the area.

Solution

Placed the RotoPac rotary arm compactor on the ground level and attached an additional push button station (On -Off-Run button) up to the mezzanine. Operators can open the sacks and then place them into a chute that drops into the commercial trash compactor RotoPac™. Trash can still be put into the RotoPac on the ground level.

Result

High compaction ratios produced with the RotoPac industrial trash compactor greatly reduced the number of dumpsters and their movement on the floor. This improved safety, reduced labor and provided a cleaner operation.

Weetabix

Challenge

Very bulky trash filling up dumpsters. British cereal maker brings in grain in large Super sacks (polypropylene bags). The bags are only used once and then thrown away.

Solution

KenBay placed a RotoPac compactor.

Result

The client can compact 100 Super sacks into the standard 4’x4’x4’ 3ml plastic bag. Getting 100 bags compacted in a solitary KenBay compactor bag provides the client more space in their facility.

Marathon Enterprises

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."

Good Food

Challenge

Client was having a problem with counterfeiters reusing their unused printed candy wrappers.

Solution

The installation of two RotoPacs commercial trash compactors in their facility.

Result

Ensured that the valuable wrappers would be destroyed and unusable.

Rich Products

Challenge

Wet and Dry waste in production lines. Client found their facility was being overrun with waste from their dough and bakery production lines.

Solution

A RotoPac garbage compaction equipment is ideal for compacting wet and dry waste all into a KenBay polyethylene bag that is then sealed in a sanitary application. Odor can be greatly diminished with the use of built-in deodorizer.

Lorillard

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.

C T I

Challenge

Need to easily dispose of cardboard boxes in which meat is shipped and content is dumped into meat grinder.

Solution

A RotoPacSacPac industrial waste compactor was placed next to the meat grinder so that when a person empties content into the meat grinder he/she simply throws empty boxes into the customized waste compactor, the SacPac.

Result

About 700 lbs. of cardboard is compacted by the SacPac into a 1.8 cubic yard plastic bag for removal by forklift. No labor is required in getting rid of cardboard that is then recycled.

Because the SacPac rotary arm compactor fits in small spaces, operator was able to take the box off the conveyor, dump its contents into the meat grinder and dispose of the empty box without taking a step.

Corbian

Challenge

The need to reduce forklift traffic in the production area. At any time during the day client will have up to 30 forklifts in operation. Two forklifts are used exclusively to transport trash from all machines to the dumpster. Two blenders sit on each mezzanine where an operator at each blender opens 50lb sacks containing baking ingredients.

Once the sacks were opened they were thrown into the chute and dropped to a dumpster sitting on the ground level. With each blender, one forklift would make twenty trips from one end of the building to the other removing bags.

Solution

Client brought in four RotoPacs and placed one at each mezzanine.

Result

Now each blender is able to compact a days worth of trash into one KenBay bag. Now instead of 20 fork lift trips to the dumpster per day, the forklift only needs to go once.

Advance Pierre

Challenge

The debris from unpacking the raw material from 6 production lines operating 2 shifts per day reduced the company’s efficiency.

Solution

They selected the KenBay RotoPac industrial compactors with its continuous compaction to receive and compact the debris at the source of the waste, i.e., at the start of each production line where the raw materials were unpacked.

Result

The waste compacted into large polyethylene filled bags weighing over 500 lbs are then removed by forklift eliminating any manual labor involvement.
