[Case Study of PET Bottle Preprocessing] Improved Bale Compression Rate by Cap Removal
PBD-5000
By introducing a pre-processing machine, we were able to automate the cap removal process, which was previously done manually to suppress rebound during compression packaging.
Case Study 2 of the PET Bottle Preprocessing Machine PBD-5000 ■Industry: Employment Support Facility for People with Disabilities ■Application: Punching holes and de-liquidizing business-related PET bottles (preprocessing before compression) 【Customer's Challenges】 At an employment support facility for people with disabilities in a certain city in Aichi Prefecture, business-related PET bottles are pressed using a vertical compression packaging machine and shipped to clients. Many of the collected PET bottles still have caps on them, and to suppress the rebound during compression packaging, workers have been manually loosening the caps. However, during the summer, the volume of work increases, making it a very demanding task. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have gained the top market share in Japan for agricultural machinery, particularly grain dryers and straw cutters. "Because we are a company that has walked alongside agriculture, we want to contribute to improving the global environment that supports food production." This desire, combined with our cultivated technology, led to the creation of the polystyrene reduction machine "High Melter." Through the provision of our products, we aim to create a bright future for the industry together with those who are challenging themselves in the recycling industry (*). That is our mission. ■Thoughts on Development The concept of a "circular economy," which views discarded items as resources and aims to circulate resources without generating waste, is gaining attention. However, the recycling industry (*), which plays a significant role in this, does not receive much public interest, and many companies are struggling with labor shortages. Through manufacturing, we want to shine a spotlight on this industry and bring about change. This is the sentiment embedded in all the environmental equipment produced by Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (*) In contrast to the "arterial industries" that produce goods, industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of blood in the human body.
