Eagle Wings Saves Money and Saves Chemicals with UF

Eagle Wings industries, Inc., an automotive parts' OEM, has cut its use of alkaline cleaning chemicals by half. In addition to minimizing waste, the cost of the equipment to achieve this has virtually been offset in its initial year of use. Magic? No, an Arbortech ultrafiltration system. EWi's personnel involved in system operation suggest that there is yet another benefit to the process, "much less labor spent maintaining the cleaning tank."

Right Choice Pays Off in Many Ways

The company took its time evaluating technologies and vendors before selecting UF and Arbortech, several months in fact. An initial introduction to the firm came from a branch of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, namely the Waste Management and Research Center (WMRC).

"We knew from WMRC that Arbortech had experienced good success recovering low pH phosphatizing/degreasers, but they had to prove themselves in our plant, on our alkaline cleaner. Pilot scale testing provided the results we needed to see. With support from the Center, they earned our confidence and finally our P.O." While Arbortech earned a sale, EWi garnered even more rewards than those already described above through implementation of the UF equipment, receiving both the 1999 Illinois Governor's Pollution Prevention Award and being named runner-up in the competition for the Illinois Manufacturers' Association's Team Excellence Award for '99. "This equipment has paid dividends in many ways for us."

"We had our own expectations for recovery, maybe 30%, but this is giving us results way beyond that. And another thing, Arbortech Corporation's staff has been great with their support after the sale. We've had a number of questions; they've had all the answers, and they responded to us in a hurry."

Watch your head - low ceiling!
And watch your profits increase with UF.
