Synagro to Highlight AllGro® Compost at COMPOST2018
AllGro Compost Builds Soil Health for Agricultural, Horticultural, Landscaping and Restoration Programs
Synagro, one of the largest private composters in the United States, will highlight its AllGro® compost at COMPOST2018, the US Composting Councils 25th Annual Conference and Tradeshow, in Atlanta, Georgia, January 22 to 24, 2018, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel.
Join the Synagro team inside the Westin at Booth Number 308 to learn about AllGro compost - a nutrient-rich source of organic matter that brings agronomic value to almost any application. Made from carbon-rich feedstocks, AllGro compost is the result of a natural, controlled, biological process. The end result is a high-quality soil amendment used by professionals in agriculture, horticulture and landscape maintenance.
"We are pleased to be exhibiting at COMPOST2018 in Atlanta and join in celebrating its 25th year," announced Robert Pepperman, director of product sales and marketing, Synagro. "Were excited to be showcasing AllGro compost because, when used in accordance with sound agronomic principles, it provides both immediate and long-lasting benefits.
"Compost improves the physical structure and biological properties of any soil type by replenishing organic matter; providing slow-release plant nutrients, reducing need for chemical fertilizers; enhancing soil structure and porosity which improves soil moisture holding capacity; and helping build more friable soil which can improve tillage in compacted soils."
Last year Synagro distributed over 300,000 tons of compost produced at its six facilities nationwide.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
