Kernic Systems recently completed the installation of a compact scrap recovery system for the new Norlands Box Company Corrugated Sheet Plant in Surrey, British Columbia.
The compact, turn-key system is designed to handle scrap material from up to two production machines. This system includes a Höcker Polytechnik GmbH PMA rotary airlock material separator for the air conveyed trim scrap and also includes a manual baler loading conveyor with sweep plate for all of the plant’s make-ready boxes, sheet waste, and other loose trim. The wide mouth baler/conveyor combination eliminates the need for a shredder, saving valuable air flow and allowing for a dust collector of reduced size, saving valuable floor space and cost. The Hocker Vacumobil used for the conveying air filtration in this application is a small footprint dust collector supplied with flameless explosion venting, fire suppression and inlet isolation gate.
The Maren Engineering Corporation ProPAK60 horizontal full-eject baler makes dense, heavy, mill-size bales for maximum revenue. The feed conveyor with an angled sweep plate allows the operators to maintain the area more efficiently.
This compact sheet plant specific design is a cost effective and small footprint solution designed to service small to medium size plants. Whether your operation has two production machines, or ten, Kernic Systems has the solution to all of your scrap collection needs.
