Epcon Industrial Systems

Industrial ovens for curing coatings can be designed to reduce energy usage while providing uniform, quality finishes.  When supplying air pollution control and process heating equipment to the metals industry, beyond meeting the stringent regulations and best manufacturing practices, equipment suppliers must develop new system designs that can keep pace with technological advancements and changing demands. As these industrial systems can have an operating lifespan of 30-plus years, it is critical to think far into the future when designing and engineering anything meant to meet tomorrow’s requirements. Ultimately, environmental impacts and long-term operating costs will be the key drivers when creating any successful systems for a metals industry application.

Epcon  embedded these principles i

As we move through the final quarter of the year, the overall health of the U.S. economy remains strong, demonstrating resilience in the face of global uncertainties. Notably, inflation is nearing the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, which is a significant achievement for the Federal Reserve, reflecting the efficacy of its monetary policies in stabilizing the economy. Economic Landscape In August, the U.S. unemployment rate came in lower than anticipated, which created uncertainty among economists and businesses alike. This unexpected data prompted concerns that a recession might be imminent, as low unemployment can sometimes signal overheating in the economy. In reaction, the stock market experienced volatility, reflecting the collective anxiety about the possibility of an economic downturn. In response to these dynamics, the Federal Reserve acted decisively by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points, exceeding the consensus expectation of a 25 basis point cut. This larger-than-expec

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) stands as a fundamental pillar of ethical business practice, particularly in industrial manufacturing and pollution control sectors. By Tasha Jamalluddin - Epcon Industrial Systems, LP CSR refers to the comprehensive approach companies adopt to ensure their operations positively impact society and the environment. Moreover, it encompasses a range of practices, including community engagement, ethical labor practices, environmental stewardship, and transparent governance. Unlike compliance-based initiatives, CSR is voluntary and reflects a company’s commitment to go beyond regulatory requirements to contribute to societal well-being. This article explores the essence of CSR, its importance, and its distinctive role compared to environmental, social, governance (ESG), as well as diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) initiatives, highlighting why CSR remains crucial for sustainable industrial develop

Epcon  had a unique opportunity to build a multi-level conveyorized web-processing oven . None of this type exist anywhere in the world. At each level, resin was being applied to the fabric base material and then cured in the Oven at 550 – 600 ° F. Each stage also had a different operating temperatures; as the web went higher, the temperature increased. Once built, the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) was completed and the international customers were overwhelmed with the design. Epcon considers this project a record achievement.  For the full feature visit Modern Metals Magazine : https://www.modernmetals.com/item/15351-epcon-builds-multi-level-conveyorized-web-processing-oven.html

Epcon’s collaboration with industry leading Air Conditioning Evaporator and Condenser manufacturers is a perfect example of how Epcon’s attention to customers’ needs results in innovative and cost effective environmentally friendly solutions. When the   HVAC industry   was faced with the challenge of eliminating hazardous solvent based degreasing materials from their processes, Epcon worked closely with industry leaders, to develop an innovative and then patented   Thermal Deoiling   System. Not only did the system achieve the desired degreasing/deoiling and cleaning performance but, at a significant net operating cost savings. Epcon holds two patents:  Thermal Deoiling and Thermal Degreasing. As the first-choice equipment supplier to the Industry,we engineer integrated systems, incorporating  heat recovery  methods and thermal recycling, ensuring your process is optimized for efficiencies. With hundreds of units in the field around the world, Epcon not only custom  manufactures  and i

Epcon Industrial Systems designed, built and shipped a state-of-the-art multi-zone conveyor oven system that will be used to cure internal linings for 55-gallon drums . The effective heating zone oven measures 100 feet long x 6 feet wide x 6 feet, 6 inches high. The custom-designed oven has three independently controlled heating zones operating at a temperature range of 350-600°F and three dual lane conveyor systems to process the drums and the top/bottom lids simultaneously. The dual-lane conveyor systems offer the end-user the advantage of minimizing floor space and reducing the operating cost by approximately 30% compared to a conventional approach of installing separate oven systems for drum and lids.
