CASE STUDY

Location: Miamisburg, Ohio
Industry: Label & Packaging Manufacturing
Solution: Precision AirConvey Trim Removal System

 

 

The Challenge

Avery Dennison’s Miamisburg, Ohio facility was seeking a more efficient and sustainable way to manage trim waste while supporting its broader goals for landfill reduction, energy efficiency, and employee well-being. The existing trim handling setup frequently caused production interruptions—particularly during synthetic material jobs—leading to lost labor time, reduced uptime, and unnecessary strain on operators.

At the same time, Avery Dennison wanted a solution that aligned with its long-term environmental commitments and created a safer, quieter, and cleaner production environment.

 

The Solution

Avery Dennison partnered with Precision AirConvey (PAC) to install a fully integrated trim removal system designed to handle high-speed operations and synthetic materials without disrupting production. Brandon Hardman led the project for Avery Dennison, working closely with PAC throughout the design and implementation process. The PAC system was engineered to improve waste handling efficiency while reducing noise, energy usage, and maintenance challenges on the plant floor.

 

The Results

Operational Efficiency

  • Eliminated press stoppages during synthetic material runs
  • Enabled faster production speeds without compromising performance
  • Estimated 900 labor hours saved by reducing downtime and manual intervention
  • Improved equipment uptime compared to the previous trim handling system

 

Sustainability Impact

  • Increased diversion of trim waste from landfill, with more material converted to energy through pelletization
  • Reduced facility electricity consumption through PAC’s energy-efficient equipment
  • Replaced silicone lubrication with food-grade mineral oil, supporting safer and more environmentally responsible operations

 

Employee Work Environment

  • Noise levels reduced by approximately 8 decibels, creating a noticeably quieter production floor
  • Improved air quality through the integration of 48 HEPA filters throughout the system
  • Enhanced overall working conditions, reinforcing Avery Dennison’s investment in its people and facility

 

Customer Perspective

The upgraded trim removal system reflects Avery Dennison’s commitment to continuous improvement—balancing sustainability, productivity, and employee well-being without sacrificing performance.

“We’re excited to see Avery Dennison realizing these kinds of results so quickly,” said Marco Acevedo, Regional Sales Manager at Precision AirConvey. “It’s rewarding to support an industry leader that prioritizes sustainability and production efficiency. Their team is setting a great example of how to future-proof operations with smart, sustainable technology.”

 

Conclusion

By implementing Precision AirConvey’s trim removal system, Avery Dennison’s Miamisburg facility has strengthened its operational resilience, reduced environmental impact, and created a better workplace for employees—all while delivering measurable productivity gains.
