Answer: With the new TT250 mini bucket."Our client's initial thought was that we could weld a central divider into the existing buckets" says UniTrak founder and CEO, Bill Gorsline, "but we had concerns about plastic weld aging. Measuring just 4 by 3 inches, with a volume of 250 ml, the tiny bucket was design/built by UniTrak to solve the packaging-line dilemma. Creating and retrofitting twin mini-buckets and new belt assembly was a lot more involved, but it was the right way to go.
