Ox Box Invests In Scrap Removal System By Kernic Systems, Baysek Addison, Illinois based Ox Box, a custom heavy-duty pack- aging provider, announced investing in a quick effective scrap removal solution by Kernic Systems and Baysek for service to a new Baysek C190 Die Cutter. The scrap removal system includes a HÓ§cker Polytech- nik GmbH PMA Rotary Airlock Material Separator and a Multi-Star filtration system, complete with ATEX certified pressure venting to manage the scrap material and dust generated by the Baysek die cutter. The limited scrap material is deposited into a gaylord underneath the material separator for further recycling. Utilizing a negative pressure system to handle scrap ma- terial ensures a dust free environment and lower noise

levels than conventional positive pressure air conveying systems. Ox Box specializes in custom heavy-duty boxes and packaging serving the agriculture, air cargo, manufactur- ing, metal fabrication, moving and storage, and transpor-

tation industries. For more information, visit oxbox.com, baysek.com or kernicsys- tems.com .
