Brief
Better Engineering recently collaborated with a customer in the recycling construction sector to enhance their process for cleaning plastic roofing material. As part of their operations, the customer recycles used roofing material to create new products. To meet their demanding throughput requirements and maintain the quality of their recycling process, the customer invested in a 48” drum washer from Better Engineering.
Approach
The primary challenge for the customer was the introduction of a new cleaning process capable of handling 2,000 lbs of plastic roofing material per hour. It was critical that the material be thoroughly cleaned before entering the recycling phase, as any residual dirt or contaminants could disrupt the downstream processes, leading to inefficiencies and potential equipment damage. Given the sheer size of the 48” drum washer, another challenge was ensuring that this large-scale machine could seamlessly integrate into their existing operations.
Conclusion
The 48” drum washer delivered by Better Engineering met the customer’s needs by efficiently processing and cleaning 2,000 lbs of plastic roofing material per hour. The machine’s robust design and large capacity ensured the material was thoroughly cleaned, preventing any downstream issues in the recycling process. The successful integration of the drum washer into the customer’s operations enhanced their efficiency and contributed to the overall quality and consistency of their recycled products. This partnership underscores Better Engineering’s commitment to providing tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of industries focused on sustainability and recycling.
