Holiday Giving 2019

Each year around this time, PTR organizes our Holiday Giving Project. Employees across all departments of the company are asked to bring in various items to be donated to chosen organizations throughout the holiday season.

This year, we began collecting canned goods as well as gently worn winter clothing like hats, scarves and gloves, since the end of October. All were donated to the St. Francis of Assisi Soup Kitchen on Kensington Ave. in time for Thanksgiving.

Now, we’re excited to see what we can gather for the St. Francis/ St. Vincent Home for Children before the drive ends on December 13th! We’re collecting items for boys and girls ages 13 to 21.

We’re very proud to support these fantastic local charities. Thanks to all employees who have contributed so far, and let’s keep those donations coming!

Baler Conveyor

Our baler conveyor is another piece of accessory equipment that is key to streamlining backroom operations, enhancing productivity and significantly improving workplace safety.

COMPATIBILITY

Our conveyors are compatible with PTR baler models 2300HDX, 5000HD, and 7200HD. We are also able to work with an existing conveyor, as long as the dimensions line up.

SAFE & EASY TO USE

PTR’s Conveyor, like other PTR recycling and waste equipment, is built with ease of use in mind.

You’re able to feed the baler from the rear of the machine or from either side into the hopper. When the baler chamber is full, a sensor light illuminates. At this point, you’ll know it’s time to run a baler cycle.

There is another great option, where the operator is able to cycle the baler ram using a rear pendant. This way they won’t need to step away from the conveyor feed in order to walk over to the baler control panel on the machine while in use.
