ONE STEP BEYOND

摘要

Two companies--Al-jon Inc. and Iran Ax Inc.--take car processing operations one step further by offering more extensive car recycling systems that drain and otherwise prepare scrap vehicles for crushing or logging. Al-jon's End-of-Life Vehicle(ELV) Recycling System provides the machinery to "dismantle, recycle, and crush or log cars in one efficient, environmentally-responsible operation" the company says. After the customer has drained all automotive fluids from the vehicle, a knuckle-boom material handler removes heavy components such as the engine and transmission as well as the radiator, oil coolers, and heater core. These higher-value scrap components are put in bins for separate baling.
