Diversified Plastics Inc. (DPI) has installed a new Rotoline 4.1 molding oven at its Latta, South Carolina, facility, which the company says will complement the Rotoline molding oven the firm added last year.
DPI, a Latta-based company that makes collection carts for the waste and recycling industries among its product lines, now has 14 roto-molding ovens, bolstering its credentials as “a leading international rotational molder for custom moldings.”
“All of us are very excited about the addition of the new rotational molding oven to our facility,” DPI owner and CEO Tommy Wallace says. “It will assist in manufacturing our plastic products with higher productivity and help us continue meeting our goal of advancing our product lines.”
The company currently has more than 25 plastic product lines that vary from commercial trash containers to material handling carts in a portfolio the company says continues to grow. The new oven will be equipped to help manufacture all of DPI’s product lines, the firm says.
Founded in 1976, DPI's product line includes plastic utility carts, bulk material handing carts, laundry carts, fork-liftable bulk containers, round drums and containers, tote boxes, spring platform trucks, tilt trucks, elevated carts and easy-access carts.
The firm says its waste and plastic recycling containers, which are made from what DPI calls “100 percent-recyclable” plastics, can be found in restaurants, stadiums, sports venues, apartment and condominium complexes and corporate office buildings.
A spokesperson for DPI says its products also can consist of from 75 percent to 90 percent recycled-content regrind material. (An exception is its product line for the health care industry, where regulatory requirements can restrict the use of recycled content.)
