If you’re using press-side Gaylords and individual hopper loaders for resin supply, how do you measure the amount of resin consumed (or remaining) in a partly used Gaylord? An easy and surprisingly accurate method is to record the weight of your standard Gaylord of resin, smooth out the resin with your hand in the partly-used one, then measure the height of the level from the bottom of the box. Now measure the height of a full box, then use the ratio of the part box measurement to the full box height and multiply by the weight of a full Gaylord.
