Trashmaster at job site.<br />
Rotomolding replaces<br />
concrete<br />
Wastewater control systems manufacturer<br />
Fresh Creek Technologies (Cedar<br />
Grove, NJ) has introduced the rotationally<br />
molded Trashmaster plastic housing<br />
to replace concrete versions in stormwater<br />
management systems. Rotomolding<br />
processor Meese Orbitron Dunne Co.<br />
(MOD; Madison, IN) forms the housings.<br />
A single rotomolded HDPE housing<br />
replaces a concrete vault, concrete<br />
cover, and stainless steel doors. The new<br />
Hall 1, Stand 1F30<br />
dependability<br />
housing costs as much as 50% less to<br />
produce than a comparable unit in concrete,<br />
weighs 400% less, and can be<br />
installed in a day using onsite equipment<br />
versus up to a week using heavy lifting<br />
equipment. MOD preassembles the unit<br />
with pipe couplings, framing, and other<br />
internals and ships it directly to the job<br />
site ready to install.<br />
In related news, MOD has purchased<br />
a Leonardo automated rotomolding<br />
machine from Persico SpA (Nembro,<br />
Italy), becoming the first North American<br />
firm to do so. The machine will be<br />
installed and ready to run by January<br />
2008 at MOD’s Madison, IN plant.<br />
MOD President Bob Dunne said the company<br />
decided on the machine on the basis<br />
of anticipated growth and the competitive<br />
trends facing rotomolding, which is seeing<br />
increasing pressure in some applications<br />
and sectors from processes like blowmolding<br />
and twin-sheet thermoforming.<br />
