Our history,

The old saying “necessity is the mother of invention” couldn’t be more true.  A  fire which destroyed most of our warehouse space and all of our vehicle dismantling ability focused our attention solely on implementing systems and procedures which would make our dismantling process as safe as possible, while addressing three crucial  factors, 1)cleanliness, 2)efficiency and 3)eliminating environmental concerns.

After being in the recycling industry for over 25 years, we realized there just wasn’t an efficient and economical tool on the market which would allow us to run the kind of safe, clean, environmentally friendly operation we all strive for.  Sure there were several options available, but none seemed to address every issue.    It took several pieces of equipment and different procedures to adequately address our concerns and none looked particularly efficient in any combination.  Since we were forced into rebuilding our physical plant, we decided if the equipment we needed wasn’t available, we would make our own.  The first area we focused on was cleanliness and efficiency in our vehicle dismantling shop.  This led to the development of our “Quick Draw” fluid recovery system. 

After several months of design and fabrication we installed eight of these units in our new dismantling facility and it far exceeded our expectations.  All fluids are drained in a safe, clean and efficient manner.  No more pools of antifreeze on the floor.  Orders for oil dry all but ceased.  “Drain tables” are now “tear down” tables.  Most importantly to us, gasoline is removed in a very safe manner.  Our old methods, which most dismantlers use today, were the cause of our fire.  No longer are tanks removed full with gallons of flammable gasoline lying around in the shop.  All of our fluids are pumped over 100 feet away from our building and our most valuable asset, our employees. 

This equipment provided three other benefits.  It enabled us to drain automatic transmissions and inspect the inside of the pan for excess metal while still on the rack, thus reducing the amount of transmission failures for our customers.  Also, because of the manner in which we removed gas tanks, we were breaking a large portion of fuel pumps which outnumbered the tanks in possible revenue many times over.  We now saved the $150 part, and got rid of the $50 part.  Finally, all fluids are recovered in a clean manner which allows to us sell them to other fluid recyclers. 

We applied this same logic to draining our “junk cars”.  When metal prices were higher, we could buy up to 60 cars a day.  We had to find a clean, efficient way to drain all fluids from these vehicles.  Previously, we only focused on removing the gasoline, but as we all are aware, we are now tasked to be more environmentally responsible.  Not  to mention the revenue from recyclable fluids we were crushing was sizable.  There are several pieces of equipment available for this process, but once again, none answered all of our needs, particularly in an affordable manner.  We invented “The Guzzler” to meet our needs and feel it is the best system on the market for scrap vehicle processing.

Our company is focused on providing fellow recyclers with the best possible equipment on the market.  We stand behind our equipment with a full one year warranty and stock replacement parts so recyclers don’t have to deal with down time.  If you are ready to make your facility safer, cleaner and more efficient, check out what we have to offer.  Let us make your shop the envy of others.
