Polystyrene (EPS) tray stacking

PROBLEM

Handling of polystyrene containers after forming and removal of waste can result in the containers when stacked falling over due to static charges preventing the containers from stacking.

In addition, handling the stacked containers for packing will result in the box size requiring additional dimensions increasing volumetric weight for transport.

Handling of the waste material will result in operators receiving stack shocks, which can cause health and safety concerns.

SOLUTION

Applying opposite polarity static charge to the top and bottom of the containers allows the containers to sit and stack properly.

As the containers naturally attract to each other, picking up the stack of containers is made much easier, while allowing the box size to be reduced in height.

Using a Meech IPS bar to control charges on the rewinding waste, prevents operator shocks when handling the rewound material.
