One month ago, Pacific Floorcare® turned on their newly installed Rotomold Carousel, and after seeing a 125% increase in production, there's been no looking back.
Used to produce the ultra-durable polyethylene, this carousel is nothing you'd see at a carnival. Instead of horses and lights, the Rotomold has an oven, cooling chamber, and loading platform. These three distinct sections are what create the added efficiency. The separate chambers of the Rotomold allow the parts to move through production faster while consuming less fuel in the process.
Going green while going lean. That's good business.
Why invest in this heavy-duty machinery? The driving force behind the new equipment was production needed to increase in order to keep up with the ever-growing demand. When you make more sales, you have to make more products. It's that simple. In addition, there was a host of other factors that played into the decision. First, the new technology and processes this equipment utilizes will create a higher quality product. Second, it produces parts faster than the previous molding equipment – a lot faster. Third, the Rotomold is able to run multiple molds simultaneously, which means less starting and stopping and more production time. Lastly, the carousel's state-of-the-art software delivers such precise control that waste has been reduced by 50%.
Pacific isn't stopping there. This Rotomold Carousel was specified to be scalable. Currently, the machine is configured with two rotating arms that cycle parts through the production process. With the ability to add two more, Pacific will be able to ramp up their production to meet projected demand for the foreseeable future.
