OPERATING STATUS: Operating
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
Plastic Molding. Isopentane and butane are received by rail cars and tank truck. The fumes from
unloading are recycled back into the rail cars and tank trucks. Virgin polystyrene pellets are brought in
by rail or truck and offloaded pneumatically into storage silos. Polystyrene from the process is reclaimed
and then reformed in to pellets and pneumatically loaded into one of twelve storage silos. The virgin and
recycled pellets are gravity fed through ducts to one of six extrusion lines. At the line, the pellets are fed
to a heat unit that creates a liquid, and then to a mixing area where isopentane and/or butane is added as a
blowing agent. Different blowing agents are used based on final use of the containers. This mix then
goes through a forced air unit and over a pre-sized die which determines thickness of the styrofoam. As
the stream blows over the die, it cools, thickens, and solidifies. The solid material runs over a cutter
which cuts the roll and forms it flat over several sets of rollers. The rolls are taken off the rollers and
stored for aging for three to seven days. The aged rolls are then placed on feed rollers on the
molding/forming lines. There are 6 molding lines. The styrofoam is rolled out over dies and cut into
strips. The strips go into a molding oven which heats and then presses the material to the correct shape
and size. The finished strips are then sent over a drop area where the scrap is blown off and falls into a
shredder and duct collector. The finished products are then dropped into a pile and hand packed in boxes.
The boxes are placed on a conveyor and sent to a warehouse for storage and delivery by truck as needed.
The scrap material is ducted to silos, and then to the repelletizer. The silos are each equipped with a top
side, pulse jet baghouse. Emissions from the repelletizers are ducted to a natural gas fired thermal
oxidizer unit for VOC destruction.

East Building. Plastic is brought in by truck and offloaded pneumatically to one of two silos. Scrap from
the silos and material from the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) silos is pneumatically sent to a
crystallizer and scrap dyer natural gas heater to melt the product. The exhaust from the dryer and
crystallizer go to a common vent and outside stack. The melted product is sent to a thermoformer with
trim grinders where it is heated and formed into products and then trimmed. The exhaust and scrap from
the hermoformer/trimmers go to one of four inside scrap bins. The four internal and two external fluff
(scrap) silos have baghouse controls. This building has ceased operations and is planned for sale
July 2024.
