| Absorbent Pad Wringer |
Equipment Description
The
Absorbent Pad Wringer is a heavy-duty, manually operated wringing system
for reclaiming non-aggressive fluids (oils) from absorbent pads. The absorbent
pads are used in lieu of kitty litter. The wringer is typically used where
waste disposal of non-aggressive fluids is desired and mandated by regulations.
Throats adjust from 0" to 2" height, which allows the wringing of various
sized absorbent pads, socks, mats, skimmers, and booms. A feed and catch
tray allows for easier handling of the saturated absorbent pads. Polyurethane
grip rollers incorporating a chevron design provide a non-slip surface that
prevents spinning and channels fluids away from the absorbent pad and into
the collection drum, where it can be reused, recycled, or disposed of separately
from the solids.
Benefits of use
Reduces cost of disposal of used absorbent pads by allowing them to be reused. Minimizes the amount of waste by removing up to 79% of the fluid from a saturated pad. Absorbent fabrics can collect oils, then be wrung out or pressed dry, thus recovering much of the oil as liquid. These supplies can then be reused repeatedly, although eventually they will wear out and need proper disposal under the used oil rules. Waste absorbents can be recycled by burning for energy recovery at permitted facilities, or by approved laundering.
