Ken Mills Engineering Ltd. (KME), headquartered in the United Kingdom, has recently commissioned an Aries two-ram baler for petroleum and petrochemical company ExxonMobil at one of the company’s operations in central Africa.
KME says ExxonMobil’s intent is to avoid waste generation and to reuse or recycle scrap wherever and whenever safely possible.
The baler is handling recyclable materials generated within ExxonMobil’s oilfields and pipeline transportation operations, which transport crude oil from Chad to Cameroon. Scrap materials processed include cardboard, polyethylene and paper, the equipment dealer reports.
According to KME, the Aries two-ram baler was selected for its robust compact design, high throughput capacity and high density bales. The fully automatic unit is capable of handling up to 10 metric tons per hour.
The machine is designed and manufactured by British-based KME. The manufacturer says its simple but effective construction makes it an ideal machine for the remote operation in Africa.
