Challenge: Time wasted using a baler to compact paper trim.
Solution: The RotoPac replaced a complex baler system the client had been using
Result: the process saved space, staff hours and money according to their distribution center manager. “We placed the RotoPac right on the floor by the stitcher-trimmer, which allowed us to eliminate the considerable length of the vacuum system that used to haul the waste to the baler one floor up.” The compactor allowed the client to not only minimize their waste but also permitted the newspaper to redirect the efforts of one worker from waste recovery at the baler to more productive work. NOTE: Part of Gannett

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: 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.
