New Machine Day!

Kent Systems just got a great new machine from Nissei. Here's some photos from that fun day!











First you'll see our old machine getting ready to leave home. Next it's being loaded onto a very long flat-bed. Then a mid-air shot of our new machine being unloaded from a different truck. Next you see Kent, Derek, and Lyle inspecting and positioning the new piece. (From the far left is Kent, Derek, then Lyle-Lyle is behind the machine! On the far right is a helper sent from the transportation company). And then finaly our machine is in place!
Enjoy the photos, and come see us on Facebook for even more neat pictures!

Plastic Bag Recycling-More helpful than Reusable Bags

If most consumers forget to bring their reusable shopping bags back to the store, how helpful is it to outlaw plastic bags? At least most cities do offer plastic recycling to households. My house does not have a bin for recycling cloth bags that don't get reused. Read more about California's efforts to combat plastic waste and raise awareness.

Ozone Enhancements

*The ozone industry has relied on expensive stainless steel fittings for too long!*

* *
KENT Systems has produced a plastic Quick Coupling made entirely of Kynar that has “shut-off” technology (The valve closes as the couplings are disconnected shutting off all fluid flow without any additional steps). This Kynar part is being field-tested and has impressed some of the largest Ozone product manufacturers in the United States. This new part costs far less than the stainless steel parts it aims to replace, making it the perfect solution to any company using ozone in its manufacturing/production process.

NPE

Lyle, Kent and I just came back from NPE, the premier tradeshow in the plastics industry. Since the event only comes around once every 4 years, it is a big deal. We saw new materials, machines, technologies, and companies. Along with the companies and technologies that have been around for many years. We had a great time, keep watching KENT Systems as we implement what we learned.
