Stellar’s Community and Employee Outreach Program Continues to Shine

Sauget, IL – October 4, 2016 – Stellar’s “We Strive” program continues to be a shining example of how a company is not just a workplace but a community. This fall we celebrate another fruitful year of community building activities. One of the program’s founding principles is for employees to look beyond their everyday lives and strive to achieve more as community members.

This year the program has supported a variety of outreach activities such as food, clothing and toy drives as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for the less fortunate. Internally, the program has sought to support each other in times of need such as loss of home due to fire, major car repairs or loss of a loved one from illness. Much of the program is supported by the employees themselves through personal donations or fundraisers like raffles.

The “We Strive” organizers also seek to build community within the workplace by organizing company events and picnics at local landmarks and by exploring novel ways to celebrate the accomplishments of the company’s team members. Outside vendors and consultants are frequently brought in to educate employees about good finances and other self-help topics. Furthermore, the “We Strive” program seeks to identify and improve the day-to-day working environment at Stellar such as upgrading break room amenities or inviting a masseuse to help employees relax.

Briquetting as a Solution for Solid Material Products

by

Briquetting Overcomes Solid Chemical Product Challenges

Briquetting, the process of compressing material into uniform shapes and density, is an established manufacturing technique used to overcome a variety of product challenges associated with solid material products. Whether the material is a mineral, chemical or biomass product, briquetting reforms products into a more compact usable shape and provides a variety of economic benefits.

Powder based materials and chemicals often benefit from the briquetting process. The compacted form allows for greater control over the rate of dissolution or burning when compared to the uncompacted form. Additionally, the smaller volumes can mean lower transportation and storage costs. Briquetted material can also give old material new life. Compaction into a briquette means waste material like biomass, paper or polymer foam can find purpose as a new product.

Briquetting can also help reduce flammability issues associated with some products. In their uncompacted forms, many products may have excess dust which can be a serious safety hazard. Briquetting can help reduce the amount of ambient dust to minimize any combustion risk.

At Stellar Manufacturing we help companies with a variety of challenges associated with solid materials. Our briquetting capabilities include integrated 50, 75, 150, and 300-ton compaction systems to produce material for a variety of end uses. Our mixing and compaction granulation services also help prepare material prior to briquetting. Stellar is able to accommodate a variety of customized shapes and sizes as determined by our clients.
