• Challenge: Their production assembly floor was being clogged by large amounts of cardboard dunnage discarded from receiving components. Removal of the waste materials required fourteen trips daily to move and empty the full collection hoppers to the rear of the facility.
  • Solution: They installed a RotoPac and placed it at the source of the waste, right on their production assembly floor.
  • Result: Not only have they reduced the amount of trips necessary to remove the cardboard to one a day, but it has also resulted in annual saving of 50% more than the cost of the RotoPac.

Greatly reducing the daily trips to remove burdensome cardboard, Hoshizaki annually recoups more than 50% of initial cost of RotoPac compactor.

Hoshizaki’s USA operation, where they manufacture high end stainless steel equipment for the food service industry, had its PTC production assembly floor clogged by large amounts of cardboard dunnage discarded from receiving components for building their signature ice machines. Removal of the waste materials required fourteen trips daily to move and empty the full collection hoppers to the rear of the facility. The Material Department had been using a KenBay RotoPac Industrial Waste Compactor they had bought in January of 2001 experiencing no performance or repair issues to date. Hoshizaki installed another RotoPac and placed it at the source of the waste, right on the PTC production assembly floor. Not only have they reduced the amount of trips necessary to remove the cardboard to one a day, but it has also resulted in annual saving of 50% more than the cost of the RotoPac.

With corporate headquarters in Peachtree City, Georgia and a second manufacturing facility in Griffin, Georgia, Hoshizaki America has among the most automated production facilities in the industry. Using the latest state-of-the-art technology, every Hoshizaki ice machine is run-tested at the factory, and undergoes numerous quality performance tests including ice production capacity and energy efficiency.

The RotoPac compactors are integrated into their automated production facilities. In utilizing the latest in technology KenBay Rotary Arm Compactors, Hoshizaki experiences high compaction continuously at the source of the waste resulting in the most cost effective way of removing waste from their production areas.
