[Case of Styrofoam Volume Reduction Machine] Significant reduction in electricity costs with the introduction of two volume reduction machines.
RE-E2000
The introduction of a high melter equipped with a two-system volume reduction unit has significantly reduced electricity costs.
Case Study 3: Styrofoam Reduction Machine RE-E2000 ■Industry: Market Relations ■Application: Reduction of Styrofoam (fish boxes) 【Customer's Challenges】 In Nagasaki Prefecture, blessed with rich fishing grounds such as the East China Sea and Goto Nada, the fish market association is involved in the overall operation, including environmental maintenance of the fish market. This fish market uses a large number of Styrofoam fish boxes daily, with approximately 2,500 boxes (about 450 kg) being disposed of each day. The association was processing the disposed Styrofoam fish boxes using two machines from another manufacturer (150 kg/h) for reduction. Simultaneous operation of the two reduction machines increased power consumption, leading to higher basic fees. The association gave up on simultaneous operation of both machines and opted for operating one at a time while installing a demand monitoring device to keep basic fees down. However, even with this approach, the electricity costs remained high, which was a source of concern for the association. Additionally, during the crushing of Styrofoam and the discharge of ingots, Styrofoam dust would scatter, requiring significant effort for cleanup. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

basic information
[After Implementation] ■ The basic electricity fee has been reduced to about half, and the usage fee has been kept to about two-thirds. ■ Previously, it took about 4 to 5 hours for volume reduction processing and about 1 hour for cleaning, but now we have significantly reduced the work time to 3 hours for volume reduction processing and about 15 minutes for cleaning. *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.
