How SEDA depolution technology helps a responsible Western Canadian metal recycler to properly handle stockpile of end-of-life vehicles. Eric Etelamaki, owner of Balfour Towing & Salvage, asked SEDA distributor Recyclers Source Solution to help him solve the following challenge:
The Company
Balfour Towing & Salvage’s business is located in an extremely beautiful, though remote location. With a total population of only 50,000 within a 4 hours driving radius, end-of-life vehicles are far and few between.
The Challenge
Over the year Mr. Etelamaki accumulates 350 ELVs which needed to be processed in an efficient and environmentally sound manner. One person has to achieve this task and no drop of fluid is allowed to spoil the pristine and ecologically sensitive site.
The Solution
The SEDA EasyDrain fluid evacuation system in combination with a three column tilting rack evacuates 98% of all fluids within 6-8 minutes. One person can easily processes 30–40 cars per day, safely and efficiently.
The drainage structure at Balfour towing is built from tree trunks, recycled drift pins, log chokers, rebar and recycled siding.
