The
Enviro-Block System
The Enviro-Block System
can be purchased as a complete package consisting of the following
Eagle International engineered and manufactured products:
-
Eagle Hopper
The Eagle Hopper is an automated hopper designed to make the
operator more productive. It assists the operator in handling
tires and results in more tires per hour handled than can be done
without it.
-
Eagle Tuf-Cut Tire
Cutter
The Eagle Tuf-Cut Tire cutter will cut car, truck, tractor rear
and OTR tires up to 23.5/25, 12 ply. These pieces can be mixed in
the baling process with the whole tires. The Tuf-Cut comes
standard with a tire lift and rollers to handle large tires.
-
Eagle Tire Baler
The Eagle Baler will form a bale of 100+ waste tires and is
capable of baling four (4) bales per hour, or the
equivalent of 32 bales in an 8-hour shift. The bales can consist
of up to 70% car tires and 30% truck tires.
History and Future of Tire Baling
There is a sense of
urgency throughout the entire world to clean up waste sites. This is
necessary to enhance our environment and eliminate health and other
hazards that exist at many waste tire sites.
Tire baling is not a
new idea to the waste tire clean up sector. The current attitude
about the baled tire concept has fallen victim to misleading
information, defective bales, poor applications and improper
follow-up on projects that have used baled tires. With the proper
information, equipment, applications and follow-up, the beneficial
uses for baled waste tires can prove that this concept is viable and
eliminate this misleading concept.
Enviro-Block
by Eagle International, LLC is the engineered tire bale produced by our
system. We have cooperated with various agencies to find beneficial
uses for the tire bale and we feel that we have created an
atmosphere of acceptance towards solving waste tire problems with
the Enviro-Block.
The low capital
investment and maintenance costs as well as the speed make the
system very attractive for processing tires.
Consider this...
There are other baling
products on the market. When choosing the product that is right for
you, it is very important for you to consider the entire cost of the
machine. When planning your decision, try to consider the following
points:
How much does the
entire SYSTEM cost?
Surprisingly, few people ask this question. If you just buy the
baler, you do not get the full productivity of the system. The
complete package will enable you to process tires for less than 20
cents a piece.
How many BALES PER
HOUR can the system produce?
Every manufacturer that knows what they're doing knows the cycle
time on their machine. A few minutes with a calculator can really
help you figure out where you will make money. Generally, an Enviro-Block
can be made every 10-15 minutes.
What does the
manufacturer call a CYCLE TIME?
Amazing as this may be, some manufacturers call a cycle the time
from when the lever is pressed to when the bale is compressed a
cycle time. That's not a cycle. That's an attempt to exaggerate the
speed of their baler. A cycle time starts when the lever is pressed
to compress a bale, and stops when the cylinder is all the way back,
ready to compress another bale. Imagine how you would come out on a
bid if you were figuring labor at 8 bales per hour, and discovered
that the baler really could only do 4 bales per hour after you had
gotten the bid and bought the baler.
How long will the
machine last?
The maintenance costs of an Eagle Baler is really very low. If
proper maintenance is done on a regular schedule, the Eagle Baler
will last a long time. The first Eagle Baler that came off of our
production line is now operating in its 12th year.
Is time critical?
If you have all the time in the world, you can fool around with
a welder trying to fix an inferior product, especially if you're a
really patient person. If you have a contract that must be done by a
certain date, you want the product to be as reliable as possible.
Does the
manufacturer employ engineers?
While we cannot knock good old Yankee ingenuity (that's what
made these balers in the first place), there is a lot to be said for
having a trained engineer around. They save countless hours of lost
time due to trial-and-error design methods, and save you from
liability claims due to someone's poor design.
Are maintenance
parts readily available?
Yes, at Eagle International, we have the parts available as you
need them. At our company, we understand that any down time costs
our customers money and we will work to see that you always have the
parts you need.
Does the
manufacturer carry an inventory of ready-made parts?
Pre-made parts are a must if time is critical. Many manufactured
parts take time to build, and you just may not have any time to
spare.
If you have considered
these points, and have asked the right questions going into the
purchase, you will be sure to make a more fair comparison, and you
will win, because you have bought the best baler for the job. We
feel confident that our balers are the best on the market, and after
considering the above points, that our balers are priced to provide
the highest possible rate of return on your investment. If you're
looking for a throwaway baler, we're probably not the place you
should be looking, but please keep us in mind for after you've
thrown the other baler away and you need the real McCoy. Our balers
will keep on producing long after others are on the scrap heap.
