2,500 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer . See inside this 2,500 SCFM Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer , designed, manufactured, tested and installed by Epcon. This animation demonstrates how the airflows pass through the shell and tube heat exchangers for maximum operating efficiencies. The Recuperative technology is suitable for low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) concentrations and processes requiring 24-hour operation. These systems can achieve thermal efficiency up to 97% and have a DRE (destruction removal and efficiency) of 99%.

April has been a particularly challenging month. It began with the President’s “Liberation Day” announcement on April 2nd, introducing a new round of tariffs. These latest tariffs were directed primarily at automobiles and  automobile parts , with China singled out for significantly higher rates. The announcement introduced considerable uncertainty across the markets; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell sharply, and global economists and business leaders raised serious concerns about the broader impact on global trade and supply chains. Additional volatility followed when the President publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over interest rate policy. Discussions surrounding potential changes to Fed leadership further fueled market instability. Despite these broader economic headwinds, conditions are beginning to show signs of improvement. There is cautious optimism that tariff pressures may ease, bringing greater stability and supporting co...

Managing Director, Tasha Jamaluddin, shares tips for cultivating an authentic ESG narrative based on her experiences at Epcon. The old days of mission and vision statements are over. To be competitive in today’s marketplace, a company must be able to clearly define its Environmental Social Governance (ESG) values and practices in place. In fact, many companies require ESG policies to even consider partnering to do business. One aspect that makes the ESG development process complicated is that many of the individual elements – the Es, the Ss and the Gs – are themselves intertwined; social criteria overlap with environmental and governance through compliance with EPA regulations and labor laws, as well as broader concerns about sustainability, safety, and wellbeing. This step-by-step guide will not only demonstrate how to define a company’s ESG values and it will suggest methods to effectively promote them to help it stand out.

Many manufacturing applications and processes require temperatures and other operating parameters in an industrial oven or furnace to be controlled accurately, in real-time with minimal delays. A metal curing process for example, often requires the curing of adhesives or various polymers materials and their bonding to the metal surface, a highly temperature-sensitive process. The temperature affects the reaction kinetics and, more importantly, the atomic structure of the particular substance. The conversions of the atomic structure configurations occur at a specific temperature, and reaching the nearest temperature to target one is essential for manufacturing durable and high strength materials. One of the most troublesome issues in  industrial Oven and Furnace  applications is maintaining the target temperature uniformly across all oven sections. The excessive production demands and the cost of high quality products are followed by overwhelming operating costs, especially i...

Epcon Industrial Systems is a known leader in designing and building ovens and oxidizers for continuous web processing applications, where the web can be either steel or aluminum, paper, plastic, fiberglass, and/or any composite material. The company’s challenge for an automotive industry customer was designing a high-velocity oven with forced convection to process 60-inch wide steel or aluminum web. This system used Epcon’s patented technology to integrate the functionality of oven(s) with the oxidizer , to increase efficiency. The system was 100 percent installed and commissioned on a turnkey basis. Read more https://thermalprocessing.com/news/epcon-industrial-designs-installs-high-velocity-oven
