Today we remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

At the same time, we want to recognize the teams who keep things running every day. The operators, technicians, and facility crews who show up early, stay late, and keep businesses moving behind the scenes.

From all of us at Prolex, thank you for what you do and for the commitment you bring to your work.

When compliance becomes a problem, you need a solution that actually works.

This site was flagged for a confined space issue around the turnbuckle, creating both a safety concern and a compliance risk. We fabricated a new mount on-site, relocated the turnbuckle to a safer, more accessible position, and installed new binders to finish the job right.

This site was dealing with a failed phase converter, leaving their compactor down and their waste area quickly getting out of control.

We stepped in, upgraded them to a new PRT VFD power unit, handled the full install, and got everything back up and running fast.

While we were there, we also cleared out the trash buildup and cleaned the corral so the space was safe, usable, and back to standard.

This one was a full change in how the system runs.

We removed the existing precrusher and installed a new auger feed system to improve material flow and reduce the constant slowdowns the team was dealing with. The old setup was creating delays and extra handling. This new configuration keeps material moving the way it should.

From rigging and removal to setting the new unit, tying into the system, and getting everything up and running, our crew handled it start to finish on-site.

Now material feeds cleaner, the process is more controlled, and the operation is easier to manage day to day.

If your current setup is causing backups or slowing production, it may be time to rethink how material is being fed. Visit prolexcompacting.com/contact-us to talk through your setup.

This self-contained came in showing years of use and needed a full-blown rebuild. Instead of sending it to scrap, we stripped it down and rebuilt it properly.

New crossmembers and cylinder mounts, cylinders, pins, pipes, and hoses, reworked the structure where needed, and custom-built options for the end user. The goal was simple. Put it back into service in a condition the customer could rely on for years to come.

A rebuild like this gives the unit more years in the field and avoids the cost and lead time of a full replacement.

Does your waste system deserves a little love this season.
If your compactor’s groaning, leaking, or just plain tired, don’t ignore the signs. A little TLC like tightening fittings, re-greasing moving parts, or swapping out worn components can go a long way in keeping things efficient and odor-free.
Your building does a lot for you. Return the favor.

We’re proud to partner with Maren on this A160W to fully integrate into the customer’s existing workflow and conveyor system. Prolex handled the spec, removal, placement, assembly, wiring, and startup/training.

Once material started moving through, the results spoke for themselves. Tight, consistent bales and steady throughput without constant operator attention.

This system is built for operations pushing serious cardboard volume. Feed it, let it cycle, and keep production moving while the baler does its job in the background.

If your operation is outgrowing your current baler, let’s fix that. Visit prolexcompacting.com to talk through your setup.

This one was a serious upgrade.

Shoutout to our long-standing local corrugated customer for trusting Prolex with the spec and install of a new Balmaster E850 Auto-Tie paired with a Hogger to handle high volumes of corrugated and scrap.

The platform, ductwork, and infeed conveyor were fitted to match the new system. Our install team crushed the removal and install to get the customer back online and running production with little downtime.

Quick, clean, and ready for action. This new store install included a through-the-wall door insert, custom-fabricated chute, full safety decals, electrical hookup, and on-site training—all knocked out same day.

System powered up, staff trained, and waste flow ready to roll. No shortcuts. No loose ends. Just another smooth setup from the Prolex crew.
