Sustainability at EKA CyberLock
Oil is a critical resource with a wide variety of uses but how we manage, process and dispose of our oil waste is significant in supporting our sustainability beliefs. Here at EKA CyberLock, we value sustainability as a societal goal and have taken steps to prevent wasteful practices by recycling and reusing oil from our in-house oil filtration system. These sustainable practices help minimize the carbon footprint of CyberLock access control systems.
How we recycle and clean our waste oil
CyberLock uses oil to cool and lubricate the metal parts being cut for certain products such as CyberKeys, CyberLocks and vaults. Once the products have been cut, the discarded pieces of metal and brass, called “wet chips”, are put aside to start the filtration process.
A special machine called a PRAB machine, which handles and processes scrap metals, will grind up the wet chips and push them to the sides of the spinning centrifuge, while the oil covering the chips travels to the bottom of the machine. The oil is collected and transferred to a filtration machine to begin the cleaning and restoration process.
The filtration machine will continuously circulate the oil until it’s in its cleanest form and ready to be used again. The filtration and recycling process ensures that toxic, dirty oil will not end up in our oceans, rivers or groundwater and promotes the sustainable reuse of resources.
