Case Study 1: EPS Compactor RE-E1000 ■Industry: Waste Management ■Application: Reducing the volume of expanded polystyrene 【Customer's Challenges】 The company, which engages in waste collection, transportation, and cleaning services, collects expanded polystyrene from wholesale markets and department stores in Niigata City. They had been using a competitor's EPS compactor, but due to an increase in collection volume, the processing capacity of the equipment could not keep up, and frequent operational stoppages occurred due to issues related to aging equipment. Therefore, the company considered updating their compactor. Given that many senior workers are present on-site, they consulted our sales representative, requesting a proposal that prioritizes "reducing the burden on workers." *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
[After Implementation] ■ On the discharge side of the reduction machine, an "ingot automatic arrangement device" and an "extension conveyor" have been installed, while on the input side, a "sorting workstation unit" has been placed in front of the belt conveyor. This allows for the automatic alignment of up to 10 ingots, enabling operators to focus on the material input tasks. ■ By combining the sorting workstation unit with the belt conveyor, work efficiency has also improved. A layout has been achieved where all tasks can be completed with minimal movement from a fixed location. *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 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.
