Increasing profitability by deburring/polishng by machine is now a reality for the smaller manufacturer while the low volume needs of larger manufacturers are also satisfied by the ECO-maxi's clever design. The unit takes up less space than conventional finishing equipment and being compact sits easily on any bench top. It requires only a standard power point. When a different finishing process is required, the operator quickly and easily changes the bowl. No mess or delay, just maximum productivity at all times.

Quality of finish is never compromised. Perfect results are possible in quick processing times mostly without any further time-consuming work by hand. ECO-maxi is ideal for the removal of oxide marks and deposits of investment powder especially in filigreed areas of fine pieces that are difficult to reach by any other means.

Ed Pastore of Otec, commented, "ECO-maxi delivers maximum quality, maximum flexibility and maximum productivity in form never seen before in the USA. It can bring the cost benefits of automation to the smallest of manufacturers."

Significant savings in chemical costs are promised as WasteWizard re-purifies for reuse up to 85 per cent. This ensures the unit achieves a quick payback. The unit concentrates waste by up to 99 per cent so less bulk means the cost of collection is reduced. Cleaned water is made safe for disposal down the drain or can re-enter the manufacturing process to save water charges.

A major benefit for the jewelry manufacturing process is the recovery of precious metals from the waste water. WasteWizard provides a fast and efficient method of producing a concentrated sludge that can be refined to recover gold and other precious metals more easily. This is much quicker and more effective than using settling tanks.

WasteWizard is designed to fit a standard 55 gallon drum or for lower volume needs of smaller jewelry producers, the company produces the MiniWizard which provides the same benefits but sits on a 16 gallon drum. Filters can be stacked to provide greater processing capacity. A single stack will filter 4 gallons of fluid per hour rising to 20 gallons for the five stack unit. A built-in cleaning cycle ensures the clog-free membranes last up to 12 to 18 months, depending on the application.

Ed Pastore of Otec, explained, "Visitors to the Otec booth were impressed. WasteWizard brings more than just cost benefits through waste reduction and recycling. It improves the manufacturing process by removing contaminants that could harm finished product quality. Another potential saving is made by reducing rejection rates."
