Dopaco continues to manufacture and supply paperboard packaging to the fast-food industry as it has <br /> since it's inception. The product line has been expanded in Stockton to include cold drink cups and <br /> lids. <br /> Three roto-gravure printing presses, one thermoformer (cup/lid shaper) and various forming and <br /> gluing equipment are utilized at this facility. There is one 8�color printing press,one 6-color printing <br /> press, and one 5-color printing press. Paperboard goes through these presses and ink is applied <br /> according to whatever fast food design is needed. After the carton cup blanks are printed and cut, <br /> they are formed and glued in the"Finishing Department", and ready for customer distribution. <br /> Printing presses are then drained and cleaned. Much of the ink is saved for reuse. Large press parts <br /> are put into one of the two cleaning baths in the off"Off Press Make Ready Room"(OPMR Room). <br /> The waste ink is washed off parts and the resultant inlwaterlalwhol rinsate is collected and stored. <br /> This is hazardous waste due to the heavy metal content of the ink(i.e.,zinc,lead,chromium,barium, <br /> cadmium,eta). <br /> V.
