Custom Designed EKO Systems
To meet the growing demands for new innovative densification
equipment EKO's engineers will custom design densification equipment
to meet your specific needs from recovery of valuable contents,
safe guarding the environment, preventing environmental pollution,
to recycling container materials in a briquette form ideal as
steel or aluminium mill feed stock with maximum cash value.
Included in the ongoing technological research is the development
of a WIRE PAK to process loose tire wire into a solid briquette
form. Briquetted wire will instantly be converted from a disposal
cost item to a saleable commodity for scrap tire recyclers.
Work is underway on the MUNIPAK to handle the compaction of
general metal containers in municipal garbage into a high value
steel feed stock briquette. In the design stage is a high capacity
MUNIPAK which will be able to separate the contents and briquette
2 tons of consumer cans per hour.
On going research is underway to meet the growing demand for
a broad range of densification and recovery systems including
work on the DRUMPAK to handle 55 gallon steel drums and other
large diameter metal containers. In development is a high-capacity
DRUMPAK which will process 250 drums an hour, outputting a furnace
ready briquette for steel mills.
Preliminary research has been completed on an EKO system to
dewater sludges and metal fines, with a design target of a 98
per cent dry briquette. This would dramatically reduce disposal
costs and result in a capital equipment payback within 12 to
18 months.
EKO densification technology offers as solution to product destruction
to avoid product liability. Its closed densification systems
can safely and securely densify such toxic materials as medical
sharps, oil containers and train filters.
Research and development is also underway to find a way to densify
radioactive materials in a safe and cost effective manner to
address long term storage and recycling challenges.
