TRIM WASTE RECYCLING — REPURPOSED DOLLARS

Publishers Printing, of Shepherdsville, KY, embarked on a new system installation at its Lebanon Junction, KY, facility that started in June 2005 and was completed this past March. In the process, about two-thirds of the roof over the baler room needed to be removed and raised 20 feet.

The two-cyclone setup occupies 5,000 square feet of space, which includes the dust collector, according to John Hardin, warehouse receiving manager. It replaced a smaller, but similar, system that was lacking in both size and user-friendliness. The old system needed to be shut down once per shift to swap out the dust collector barrels; only an airlock needs to be shut off on the new system, sans stoppage.
