BERICAP is one of the leading manufacturers of plastic closures for the beverage, food and industrial markets. The success story began in 1926. Bericap’s mission is to invent, develop, manufacture, market and consistently supply world-class high value-added plastic closures and dispensers, preferably with their own proprietary technology.
Bericap, located in Burlington, Ontario, had two plastic bottle cap recycling lines that needed to be upgraded and equipped with dust collection systems. The dust collection systems needed to match the following design criteria:
- Extract ground polypropylene bottle caps from the granulator and dump them into the gaylord
- Contain and filter the dust, and prevent it from escaping to the facility
- Comply with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Ontario Fire Code and NFPA
Equipment
The following equipment was installed in this project:
- Two (2) TD-573 cartridge filter dust collectors
- Two (2) PB-15A side-mounted 5HP TEFC pressure blower fans with silencers
- Two (2) 8” CI Rotary Airlocks
- Two (2) AST-CP-VFD-5HP-575V control panels
- Two (2) Fike Suppression systems
