Case Study 3: Polystyrene Reduction Machine RE-E1000 ■Industry: Waste Management ■Application: Reduction of Polystyrene (Fish Boxes and Packaging Materials) 【Customer's Challenges】 The company had been using an oil-fired reduction machine introduced over 20 years ago, but due to aging, they experienced an increase in breakdowns and difficulties in securing parts, prompting them to consider updating their equipment. Previously, the company waited for the ingots in the receiving box to cool down before removing them and stacking them on pallets, which was very time-consuming and labor-intensive. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
[After Implementation] ■ The introduction of the high melter that automatically molds and cuts ingots, along with the optional automatic ingot arrangement device, has simplified the process to just stacking the aligned ingots on a pallet. ■ The weight of each ingot has been reduced, resulting in improved work efficiency and reduced strain on workers. ■ By updating to electric heating for low-temperature processing, the ingots are now finished to a high quality with minimal thermal degradation. ■ When using kerosene, the workspace was extremely hot, making it particularly harsh during the summer, but switching to electric heating has significantly improved the working environment. *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.
