Compactor aids in recycling of PE foam plank.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:43:40 -0500

Able to handle both clean and dirty PE foam, Desinator(TM) Compactor helps minimize landfill and facilitates recycling. PE plank scrap is fed into hopper, shredded, compacted, and then run through light heating process. Material is compressed to 1/15th original size, resulting in high-density PE log measuring 6 x 6 x 48 in. with thin rigid outer shell. Logs can then be fed directly into most plastic reclaim systems. Unlike bailing systems, Desinator(TM) requires no strapping.
