New Green Ideas

The Spillpro is a fast, affordable and environmentally friendly fluid recovery system.  The pneumatic vacuum was originally designed as an alternative and improvement over traditional methods of cleaning up spills in shops, and it does that very well: however, new uses are always being discovered for this “Great” pneumatic tool.  Using the air powered vacuum to evacuate crankcase oil directly from the vehicle and filtering oil for recycling (using our special attachment to the Spillpro) are just two of the many beneficial ideas developed.

Our clients have used it for cleaning gas spills, cleaning a diesel spill, antifreeze spills, as well as cleaning up oil spills.  Absorbent pads have an extra step in the end.  Floor dry has really no recycle use and it cost extra to dispose of properly.  Sawdust can be burned in waste to energy plants if available.  Shop towels are handy for small spills, but still require extra steps.  Mops are another traditionally used method for spill cleaning, but this process creates waste that still must be disposed of in special ways.

Our alternative to many of your spills, the Spillpro pneumatic vacuum, makes quick work of your spill cleanup and eliminates much of the disposal costs.  In addition to elimination of most disposal costs, the air-powered vacuum often turns your waste into an asset which helps make the Spillpro a tool that “pays for itself”.  Check out the testimonials on the Great Green Solutions site.

Help the environment – After cleaning up the spill, simply turn the valves and you are able to discharge the recovered fluid into any container for reuse, disposal or recycling.  A Great Green Solution since you have an eco-friendly tool that pays for itself!

Did you know?

• Any oil or petroleum products, chemical or waste that is released in any manner constitutes a spill. There is no minimum amount below which reporting is not required.
• Storm drain inlets collect storm water and guide it through pipes or channels to streams, lakes and rivers.
• A single drum that spills and has its contents reach the storm drain can cost 10-100 times the value of the raw material in cleanup costs.
• If a spill reaches the storm drain, you can face fines of up to $25,000 per day!
• About 2.1 tons of crankcase oil ends up in our rivers and streams every year. A single quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water.
• If spills are not cleaned up immediately, workers can slip and fall.

Traditional methods of shop spill clean up include rags, towels, “kitty litter” or floor dry, absorbent pads, mops, saw dust and floor wipes.  These methods all have something in common; they require special disposal of the waste and offer limited chances for recycling.  This means extra costs for you through the disposal process and tougher compliance.

We have found an alternative that pays for itself.  How does it do it?  By quickly cleaning the spill and storing it in a portable tank.  It does this task by use of a pneumatic (air powered) vacuum on wheels.  Quick pick up, roll to your waste storage and reverse the valves to evacuate the vacuum.  A filter system has been designed for use with the air powered vacuum to clean and reuse your oil and other fluids.  The Spillpro has universal fittings which allow the user to come up with many new beneficial solutions.
