Investigation Summary
At 3:10 a.m. on July 29, 2019, an employee was working in the Washline Department checking the color of the recycled plastic water bottles (product) flowing through a metal piping system. The employee stuck his hand into the metal tubing where material flowed toward the M34 Machine (a stainless steel centrifugal dryer) when his hand was drawn into the pinch point. The employee amputated his finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
