"The whole blast gate system was something that we knew about but it always required using two or three vendors to get it all to work. So, when we found Hocker, we found the one company that could do it all."

"We used to have to shut down all of the machines 30 to 40 minutes at the end of the day to clean up. It’s less than half of that now. We’ve gained about 20 minutes of productivity for each machine every day of the week mostly because of the greater efficiency of the new dust collectors."

"We looked it over and over and over again with other suppliers, and it was just a big expense with no payback. With Hocker, we could see a payback."

"Obviously the energy savings is a major advantage, but we’re starting to realize how much plant cleanliness has improved. When operators start blowing off their machines before going home, we don’t see the haze like we used to."
