TURBO SPIN FILTERFUGE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
FOR USED OIL FILTERS
![]()
The TURBO SPIN FILTERFUGE method far exceeds all EPA’s oil filter disposal regulations. The University of Northern Iowa Oil Filter Disposal Research concluded TUBO SPIN FILTERFUGE technology removes more oil from used filters than any other technology or method on the market.
The TURBO SPIN FILTERFUGE units will remove far more oil than the "draining and crushing" method. The old "draining and crushing" method of oil removal leaves a filter that will continue to ooze oil when disposed of in a landfill. Using TUBO SPIN FILTERFUGE eliminates the draining procedure and saves countless man-hours wasted in handling and draining. Where landfill disposal is appropriate, the possibility of groundwater contamination is significantly reduced after filters have been cycled in the TURBO SPIN FILTERFUGE machine.
Every 10 days the equivalent of the EXXON Valdez oil spill disaster occurs over the mainland of the United States from waste oil.
Over 450 million oil filters are manufactured in the US every year. 70% of all used oil filters end up in domestic landfills.
A single used oil filter can contain 8 to 32 oz. of used oil depending on the size of the filter.
Individuals who generate hazardous waste carry "Cradle to Grave" liability, even if they hire a licensed and reputable company to haul away used oil, lubricants, and solvents. Recently, one site contaminated by used oil identified 126 generators to pay out thousands in remediation costs.
