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: 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. NOTE: 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.

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.

Challenge: Dust from two separate facilities compacting 50-pound sacks containing resin. The dust needed to be contained within the compaction process.
Solution: Using the RotoPacs with hoods, during good production times, several people are feeding the 50lb bags into the RotoPac.
Result: It takes about 6 hours to fill one industrial waste compactor RotoPac bag. When full, a 4’x4’x4’ compacted bag weighs 475 lbs holds 800 (empty 50lb) sacks! It takes about 10-12 seconds for the RotoPac to compact 15 -20 sacks. NOTE: These numbers came directly from the customer.

Challenge: Two production lines produced a voluminous amount of waste, clogging their facilities. One line was generating 6 gaylords of shrink-wrap per day. Maintenance workers were spending too much time carting and removing the waste. The other line required the collection and compaction of aluminum.
Solution: A standard rotary arm RotoPac was placed at the end of each line.
