Rotorpac Users By Industry
Manufacturing Industry
The manufacturing industry uses the Rotorpac for every type of application, compacting almost all types of wet and dry waste imaginable, as well as general waste including styrofoam, plastic strips, super sacks in the food industry, and waste trim from machining processes to name a few. It also helps pay for itself and reduce rubbish truck calls by recycling electronic products, plastics and corrugated paper. Many manufacturing and assembly processes find they are experiencing the following benefits from the use of the unique KenBay Rotorpac waste compactor:
1.
Saves valuable floor space.
2.
Keeps environment clean by compacting into a bag that is sealed when full.
3.
Reduces waste handling by compacting at the source of the waste resulting in labour savings.
4.
Improves safety through ease of use, reduced traffic removing waste and safety features of the Rotorpac.
Food and Bakery Industries
"When companies compact their waste right at the source of its generation there are two immediate benefits: first, it cleans up the worksite and promotes hygiene and cleanliness, especially if wet waste is combined with other waste; second, it saves money by reducing labour and increasing dumpster capacity," Sharma Pillalamarri of the Bakery Industry Technical & Management Advisor writes:
The most prominent application for the Rotorpac in the food industry is that of disposing of those ubiquitous 25 kgs. bags in which ingredients are shipped. Bakeries, in particular, place the Rotorpac where these bags are emptied into it in the production line, nearly eliminating all labour necessary to remove the bags from the floor. In other food processing plants, the Rotorpac, located at the start of the production process, compacts corrugated boxes where meat and other ingredients are received and in many cases the corrugate is recycled for rebates.
Printing and Related Industries
Many printing companies use the Rotorpac for compacting trim being blown into it by a stitcher or trimmer. They receive several benefits from the use of the Rotorpac: 1) freeing up valuable employee time from as much as 12 hours per day to 30 minutes, 2) reclaiming floor space that waste was occupying and 3) enhancing or developing environmental and/or recycling programs.
In a similar application, companies making pressure sensitive materials bring waste into the Rotorpac through a pneumatic system.
Distribution Industry
The Rotorpac has proven to be effective in the distribution industry. Whether clients are saving a loading dock bay, saving energy by not opening doors to remove rubbish in cold weather, recycling plastic and/or corrugated boxes or reducing labour costs, the Rotorpak saves money and time. In fact, Industrial Distribution in their "Solid Outlook for ’05" article (Jan. 05), stated; "There really has been a trend to favour substituting machines for workers. As interest rates rise, it will be even more cost effective to introduce more labour saving equipment."
