I prefer to go with what was said, "without shredding or granulating the feedstock", "by allowing minimal handling of feedstock" "to eliminate handling, shredding, and bagging of waste plastic", "are loaded whole into the premelt reactor thereby eliminating shredding and much handling".
The only efficiencies mentioned are regarding handling/shredding/bagging - the rest is pure hype/speculation.
If John had massively increased the throughput via the premelt as claimed on this board, don't you think he would have mentioned that fact?
Because he increased the input, does not guarantee a massively greater output. The backend may already be running at full capacity.
I can increase the fuel input into my truck gas tank simply by using a 10" wide hose rather than a 1" wide hose, a remarkable 1000% increase of input, yet this doesn't automatically mean the output to my engine will be any faster/greater and my truck will be 1000% faster.....lol
I think we've discovered the next big delay, he will now rebuild the backend of the processors to increase throughput.
The fact that he didn't mention throughput gains is telling.
Again, not one mention of greater throughput...PERIOD.
Just keeping it real.
(6) "the Company also designed and has nearly completed manufacturing of a premelt system to allow waste plastic to enter the processor whole in bale form, or in large pieces (e.g. gas tanks, bumpers) without shredding or granulating the feedstock. This premelt system will maximize production at third party facilities (i.e. paper mills or MRF sites) and other waste stream sites by allowing minimal handling of feedstock. Management’s highest priority is bringing modular processor #2 and 3 online so the Company can become cash flow positive"
"During the second quarter of 2011 the Company designed and engineered a premelt loader for the Plastic2Oil processor to eliminate handling, shredding, and bagging of waste plastic. With the premelt loader, bales or supersacks of plastic are set on a conveyor and then are loaded whole into the premelt reactor thereby eliminating shredding and much handling. During the modularization of the processor, the CEO was able to eliminate the off gas compression system in favor of a simplified low-cost off gas handling rack (4’ x 4’ x 4’) for better control and at 1/5 of the cost. The cost savings through modularization has been used to offset the cost of the premelt loader."
