Integration Unit

Integration Unit

Dave Hakken’s original design for the machines had them within a 40 foot shipping container. At Precious Plastic Monash we use these machines in our demonstrations and workshops, so the machines needed to be easily transportable. The integration unit was born out of this need for community engagement. Each of the machines are placed together on a 1x1 metre shipping pallet. When the integration unit is completely setup, it takes up a 3x3 metre footprint. It has storage for tools and moulds and has 3 screens used for live demonstrations.
