Compact your EPS and get a volume reduction of 40:1 Fish Industry White Goods Retailer Computer RetailerRecycling Model 1800 Model 900EPS Problem Any vendor/manufacturer is by law obliga- ted to take back their EPS packaging mate- rial. This has presented many EPS produc- ers, waste collectors and recyclers with the challenge of handling the EPS waste without spending too much time and money on trans- porting “air”. Solution A Mil-tek EPS 1800 is installed at the unloading site so that the machine can be fed directly - manually or by conveyer belt. Despite variations in material a volume re- duction of at least 20 to 1 can be achieved. The compressed EPS blocks can easily be stacked on pallets and sent for recycling. Bene? ts • Less warehouse space required • Reducing the cost of further transportation • The compressed material represents a certain recycling value Problem Most computers and hardware arrive wrapped in EPS. Many computer vendors are therefore stuck with huge amounts of EPS material. As part of their customer service, many companies also take back the EPS and cardboard waste af- ter the installation. Handling this waste is often a big problem for these companies Solution A Mil-tek EPS 900 compactor is installed close to the unwrapping/unloading area allowing for the EPS material to be put di- rectly into the compactor when unpacking or upon returning with the empty packaging from the customers. Problem EPS boxes are the most common packaging material for fresh food. For hygienic reasons these EPS boxes cannot be reused and there- fore the ? sh industry have a big amount of EPS waste. Solution In order to reduce the volume of EPS waste several companies have chosen the Mil-tek EPS 1800 compactor. Despite the fact that ? sh boxes are wet and slimy, they can be put di- rectly into the compactor, where a reduction from 40 to 1 is achieved. Bene? ts • Large savings on container rental and emptying • Possibility of recycling the compressed material, which represents a certain value Problem White goods retailers sell refrigerators, dish washers, stoves, coffee machines etc. In or- der to protect the goods everything arrives wrapped in EPS. Obviously these stores have huge amounts of EPS material. Solution The EPS 900 is installed close to the unwrap- ping area and the EPS material is put directly into the compactor. This way the material must only be moved once The EPS 900 can be placed in a small area as it takes up very little space. Bene? ts • Space requirements and cost for container rental are minimised • More effective waste handling procedure • Possibility of recycling the compressed material Bene? ts • Savings on container rental and emptying • More effective waste handling procedure • Possibility of recycling the compressed material 40 1 Technical Data sa ve m on ey o n w as te ... by c om pa ct in g yo ur E P S E xp an da bl e P ol ys ty re ne Fr om to Model 900 1800 Capacity 15 kg. per hour 80 kg. per hour Volume reduction Min. 40:1 measured on fruit or ? sh boxes Min. 40:1 measured on fruit or ? sh boxes Degree of compression Min. 20:1 measured on weight Min. 20:1 measured on weight Block weight 250 - 300 gram/litre (250 - 300 kg per m3) or 800 fruit boxes 250 - 300 gram/litre (250 - 300 kg per m3) or 800 fruit boxes Block dimensions 137 mm x 137 mm 270 mm x 270 mm Material Only EPS Expandable Polystyrene Only EPS Expandable Polystyrene Density 10-30 kg. pr. m3 (10-30 gram/litre) 10-30 kg. pr. m3 (10-30 gram/litre) Door opening H: 510 mm W: 860 mm D: 460 mm H: 510 mm W: 860 mm D: 960 mm Dimensions Model 900: Height: 2180 mm Width: 1310 mm Depth: 785 mm Model 1800: Height: 2390 mm Width: 1710 mm Depth: 1170 mm Motor Amp.
