Rotorpac Applications
Applications for the KenBay Rotorpac industrial waste compactor vary from electronic components to expired medicines to metal shavings to improperly baked bread. Whereas the Rotorpac is used in numerous and varied industries throughout the world, the three most common uses in hundreds of companies are compacting waste, paper (much of which is corrugated) and plastic.
Production workers typically extract parts to be assembled at the beginning of an assembly line and then throw the empty boxes and/or packing materials into a receptacle of some kind. If the receptacle is a Rotorpac compactor, it will be the last time anyone has to handle the waste. Compact the waste right at the source and save valuable floor space, reduce labour and hauling costs, and improve the sanitary conditions of your workspace. The Rotorpac is ideal to be the prime component of many recycling plans.
General Rubbish: When rubbish is being removed from a facility, warehouse or shop floor, the receptacle being used is usually a barrel or a gaylord. This process means the waste is likely to be handled again, maybe twice, before it is placed in a roll-off or a ram-compactor outside. This can dramatically add to labour costs. The Rotorpac, because of its small footprint (4’x5’), can sit at the source of the waste, continuously compacting waste materials, achieving on average a compaction ratio of 6 to 1.
Cardboard and Paper: When the waste is cardboard boxes, they either have to be broken down or at a minimum carted to a baler somewhere else in the facility. Unlike balers that require special training to operate, the Rotorpac is simple to use: just throw the boxes in, push a button and walk away. It’s just that easy. Not having to break down boxes saves time, labour and prevents accidents. The cardboard boxes are compacted in the Rotorpac in large plastic bags that when full will weigh roughly 350kgs. Carting waste around on the factory floor, creating extra forklift traffic, is thus significantly reduced. The bagged corrugated paper is moved to a truck at a dock or remains sealed in its bag outdoors or in. The net result is a cleaner, safer plant floor and if enough recyclable materials are generated, your company is paid a rebate for the recycled corrugated paper.
Plastic: The procedure for plastic is similar to cardboard and paper except that the bagged plastic will weigh less, probably about 200kgs. per bag. The Rotorpac is especially effective in compacting plastic materials. It can make the difficult and time consuming task of disposing of plastic wrap discarded from packages into an easy continuous process.
Getting Waste/Recyclables into the Compactor
Not only does the Rotorpac serve numerous companies in disparate applications, but because of the unique features of this compactor, it can accept most types of waste coming to it by various means.
1.
From a Conveyor Belt
The Rotorpac’s simplicity and durability enables it to continuously accept waste, including recyclable materials, through the top opening via a conveyor. Since the Rotorpac is quiet (no louder than a vacuum cleaner) and small (footprint of 4’x5’), it can sit close to the source of the waste and yet saves space that bins and dumpsters were occupying.
2.
Through Pneumatic Systems
In several different situations in the printing industry, companies blow trim into the KenBay Rotorpac from machines such as saddle stitchers and trimmers. For these users, the small size of the Rotorpac allows it to sit near the stitcher and/or trimmer and eliminates need for a pneumatic system. However, the Rotorpac is also used to accept waste (trim) via a pneumatic system because of its continuous compacting capability. The Rotorpac is a much less costly solution in either case than that of alternatives.
3.
Gravity Feed Through a Chute
A number of companies have the Rotorpac located on the plant floor and drop waste into a chute from an upper floor while at the same time have access to the Rotorpac on the plant floor. With an additional set of controls located on the upper floor, waste can be placed into the Rotorpac from the upper floor and it can be activated from there or waste can be placed into the Rotorpac through the gray loading door on the front of the unit. Again, its small size and quiet operation makes it the only cost effective compactor available to perform these functions.
4.
Manual Feed Through the Loading Door
The Rotorpac has three modes of activation: 1) push the run button and compaction will start and continue for 10 minutes or for whatever time it is preset (it can vary from 1 to 12 minutes), 2) with an auto-restart kit installed, the Rotorpac can be set to automatically engage for a preset time, e.g., 5 minutes and will rest for a preset time, 3) with heavy continuous waste, users engage the Rotorpac continuously. This allows users to throw waste in the loading door while other waste may be conveyed in or blown in at the same time. Some companies prefer to use a loading door safety door switch so that when the loading door is open the Rotorpac stops until the door is closed again.
