[Case Study of PET Bottle Preprocessing Machine] Reducing Work Time by Automating Residual Liquid Removal and Hole Punching
PBD-5000
By introducing a pre-treatment machine for PET bottles, we automated the removal of residual liquid and hole-punching tasks that were previously done manually, significantly reducing the work time.
Case Study 1: PET Bottle Preprocessing Machine PBD-5000 ■Industry: Waste Management ■Application: Punching and De-liquidization of Business PET Bottles (Preprocessing before Compression) 【Customer's Challenges】 The company, which engages in waste collection, transportation, and cleaning services, collects approximately 6 tons of PET bottles monthly from convenience stores and office buildings in Niigata Prefecture, processing them for compressed packaging and shipment. Many of the collected PET bottles contain residual liquid and still have caps attached. In the past, the removal of residual liquid and punching operations were carried out manually, which was inefficient and costly, causing significant concern. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
[After Implementation] ■ We were able to automate the removal of residual liquid from a large number of PET bottles and the hole-punching process, significantly reducing the work time. ■ The processed PET bottles were moderately compressed, which minimized rebound expansion after compression packaging, resulting in an increase of approximately 50% in weight per package compared to previous bales. ■ The loading capacity per vehicle also increased, leading to a reduction in transportation costs. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Company information
■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have achieved 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 aspiration, 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 the "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, the industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of human blood.
