Thermal cleaning creates
pyrolysis gases and smoke during the cleaning process
proportional to the amount of residues on the parts being cleaned.
Where the amount of polymer or organic residue is small enough to
generate insignificant amounts of smoke, no special control
method may be necessary. However, where larger amounts of organic
residues are to be removed, pollution control of the smoke is
strongly recommended.
Historically, most small
thermal cleaning systems have been sold without pollution control
of the smoke created during the cleaning process. Smoke control
options such as afterburners and scrubbers are very expensive, often
costing more than the basic cleaning unit itself. To offer
pollution control for small thermal cleaning systems at a
reasonable price, Tempyrox Co. developed a novel
hybrid design of electric, catalytic, and gas technologies
resulting in an oxidizer for smoke control with a small size of
approx. 12" x 24": Introducing the Electri-Cat
Oxidizer.
This Unit is
compact enough to sit on top of all basic
PYRO-CLEAN® models, and destroys the pyrolysis
smoke and gases produced during the cleaning cycle. Typical
operation is at 1300-1500° F. This proprietary system combines
electric, gas, and catalytic oxidizer technologies. The
Electri-Cat Oxidizer couples to
the PYRO-CLEAN® unit temperature control system
such that the rate of smoke emission fed from the unit to the
oxidizer is closely controlled. This prevents overloading the
oxidizer, helping maintain maximum destruction efficiency.
Operating cost for the
Electri-Cat Oxidizer is about 20
cents per hour (based on 10cent/kwh). Pollution control for
literally pennies per hour! |
Clean extrusion dies, breaker plates,
screen packs, injection molding nozzles, screws, and other metal tooling.
Remove plastics, waxes, resins, asphalts, carbonaceous residues and
virtually all organics.
Save time & money while reducing the
risks associated with other forms of cleaning. No
solvents. No flame. No mess! With
the PYRO-CLEAN® system you can automate
the process of removing tough residues from glassware and metals
with just the touch of a button. Read on to discover some of the
many advantages of the PYRO-CLEAN® system.

Eliminate Tedious, Manual
Cleaning: No hand scrapping, wire brushing,
or drilling. Free workers for more productive tasks. Let the PYRO-CLEAN®
unit do the work!
Eliminate Hazardous and Messy Hand
Torching: Torching of parts produces fumes
which can be messy and hazardous to the worker.
Prevent
Part Damage and Distortion from Over-Heating:
Hand torching leads to uneven temperatures which can cause distortion
and damage expensive parts. PYRO-CLEAN® units are basically pyrolysis
chambers which are self-inerting with no burning in the cleaning chamber
itself.
No Messy Alumina or Salt
Media: No housekeeping problems. No media
replacement costs. Preheat or energy consuming "always on" operation is
eliminated.
Automated Cleaning
Process: Tempyrox units are fully automatic.
Load the parts, close the door, push the "Start" button, and walk away.
No operator attention is needed. Unit shuts down and cools automatically.
Low Operating
Costs: Model 3 costs about 35 cents per hour
to operate, while the larger Model 5 costs about 45 cents per hour.
Optional thermal oxidizer gives you full pollution control for only about
20 cents per hour. (Costs based on 10 cents per kwh)
