Case of Styrofoam Reduction Machine: Reducing the burden on workers and shortening work time.
RE-E1000A
By upgrading to a high melter with automatic ingot molding and cutting functions, the burden on operators has been reduced. The quality of the ingots has also improved.
Case Study 1: EPS Reduction Machine RE-E1000A ■Industry: Recycling ■Application: Reduction of Expanded Polystyrene 【Customer's Challenges】 The company located in Aomori Prefecture processes over 15 tons of expanded polystyrene, primarily consisting of fish boxes and cushioning materials generated from food supermarkets, each month. Previously, they used a competitor's reduction machine, but faced issues such as the physical burden on operators due to the need to cool the ingots accumulated in the receiving box, remove them from the box, and stack them on pallets, resulting in longer working hours. Additionally, it was necessary to open the door every time expanded polystyrene was inserted, raising concerns about health issues due to the odors generated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
[After Implementation] ■ The wide hopper that makes it easy to load raw materials and the automatic molding and cutting functions for ingots have significantly reduced the burden on operators. ■ The processing capacity of the independent crusher is high, and the volume reduction machine can now process 100 kg per hour, resulting in shorter processing times. ■ The function monitor allows for tracking the number of ingots produced and working hours, thereby improving convenience. We have received positive feedback regarding the high quality of the produced ingots (with low MI values). *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.
