Converting Operations

Shredding solutions
High volume processing equipment such as Rotogravure presses, flexography printers, and laminators are often used in used in these types of converting operations. Large manufacturers of printed paperboard and corrugated containers, face a major problem in disposing of 100 ‘s of tons a year of die cut scrap and wall fiber cores. Area landfills are aggressively moving toward no longer accepting these types of paper and corrugated recyclable materials. The size and thickness of paper roll cores also makes their reduction processing difficult for most shredders.

However, BloApCo shredder's unique "Pierce-and-Tear" action easily reduces these types of scrap into pieces that can be pneumatically conveyed from the shredder to a cyclone over a baler for efficient baling of the scrap.

Trim cutter solutions
A traditional pneumatic scrap handling system, with 17" ducts, fan and cyclone, may have difficulty in moving the multiple two edge trim strips up to 8" wide and as thick as 1/4".
A thin foil trim or the opposite, an extremely thick and tough edge trim scrap from a trimming matrix is normal. Your particular materials and scrap handling volumes are problems that often can be solved by a system engineered for your need. A BloApCo Trim Cutter, which cuts the material into pieces that can be easily pneumatically conveyed to a central baling area, offers a variety of scrap processing alternatives. BloApCo engineering solutions have eliminated jam-down time for equipment operating at speeds of up to 550 FPM, and produced results with the added benefits of reduced energy consumption and lower sound radiation.
