These numbers highlight how airflow engineering provides more throughput than simply scaling auger size. • WhyItMattersforRecyclingandOperations • For recyclers and operators, the auger vacuum chamber translates to measurable benefits: • Shippingeconomics:Denserlogsmaximizeweightperload,cuttingtransport costs. • Resale value: Buyers pay more for uniform, compact PE foam logs. • Operationalefficiency:Smallerlogsreducestrainonoperatorsandequipment handling systems. • Seamlessintegration:Whenpairedwithatriminducer,facilitiescanautomate scrapcollection from production lines directly into the densifier. • Real-worldusers often seeROI not justfrom reduced disposalcosts but alsofrom creating a marketable recycled product. Logs compacted with vacuum assistance are more consistent, which makes them easier to sell to downstream recyclers. • Closing • JTW’saugervacuumchamberisa rethinkingofhowfoamshould befedand compacted.Bycombiningsmalleraugerswithcontrolledairflow,theAC65andAC82 deliverhigher capacity, safer log handling, andlonger equipment life. • Forrecyclers andmanufacturers, it’sa practicalupgrade thatdirectly improves both operatingefficiencyandresalevalue. • Interestedin provingit on yourscrap stream?Contact JTW fordetailed specifications or requestaproduction testwithyour material.
