Pyrocleaning Furnace and Integrated Thermal Oxidizer System
Epcon Industrial Systems is the holder of U.S. Patent 6,135,765, which protects a highly advanced pyrocleaning furnace design with a built-in thermal oxidizer for simultaneous industrial cleaning and air pollution control. This patented technology enables manufacturers to remove organic materials from metal components through thermal decomposition, while effectively destroying harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollutants.
The integration of cleaning and emissions control into a single, energy-efficient system makes this solution ideal for industries requiring high-throughput, environmentally compliant thermal cleaning.
Dual-Purpose System: Cleaning and Emissions Destruction
The patented design combines:
- Pyrocleaning Furnace – Uses controlled high-temperature environments to decompose and remove oils, paints, resins, or coatings from metal parts without damaging the substrate.
- Thermal Oxidizer – Destroys the VOCs and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) released during the cleaning process, ensuring full compliance with EPA and international emission standards.
The system is engineered for continuous or batch operations and can be fully customized for a wide range of parts and applications.
Key Advantages of This Patented Pyrocleaning System
- Highly efficient thermal cleaning of industrial components
- Integrated air pollution control reduces total system footprint
- Fuel savings through shared heat and optimized combustion
- Improved safety, performance, and environmental compliance
- Suitable for metal finishing, remanufacturing, or coating prep
- Reduces reliance on manual cleaning or harsh chemical solvents
This technology supports a cleaner, more sustainable manufacturing process while increasing throughput and reducing operational costs.
Common Applications
This patented pyrocleaning and thermal oxidizer system is well-suited for industries including:
- Automotive remanufacturing and overhaul centers
- Aerospace maintenance and component cleaning
- Metal fabrication and surface preparation
- Paint, plastic, and resin removal
- Recycling and refurbishing operations
It is ideal for parts like engine components, paint racks, molds, dies, fixtures, and other metal tools requiring surface decontamination.
