Foam waste might look light and harmless, but for U.S. manufacturers, it’s one of the most expensive materials to handle. Expanded...

Foam scrap creates one of the most persistent waste challenges in manufacturing environments. While it weighs very little, it consumes a huge amount of floor space, disrupts material flow, and increases disposal and transportation costs. Facilities that process EPS, EPE, EPP, or PE foam often find that traditional collection methods fail to keep pace with production volumes. At JTW International, we design systems that address foam scrap as an operational problem, not just a

Modern extrusion and converting plants can’t afford production slowdowns caused by scrap buildup or manual waste handling. A well-engineered Waste Material Conveying system  solves that problem by automating the removal of trim and edge scrap. Continuous scrap flow means fewer stoppages, lower labor costs, and safer, cleaner operations, while feeding higher-quality material directly into downstream plastic recycling equipment. Why Manual Scrap Handling Hurts Productivity Manu

Why Smaller Augers Make More Sense Most competitors increase the auger diameter, sometimes as large as 16 inches, to move more scrap....
