GreenShift Announces Tornado Trash Can™
GreenShift's Tornado Generator™ accelerates compressed air to supersonic speeds in a closed cyclonic chamber where the air is powerful enough to almost instantly grind, flash desiccate and atomize solid and liquid wastes and other materials into micron sized powders.
Tornado Trash Can™ The current generation of GreenShift's proprietary Tornado Generator™ is a completely contained system with no internal moving parts that is powered by compressed air. It can safely and cost-effectively and rapidly process a very broad array of wastes including agricultural wastes, septic wastes, municipal solid wastes, and construction and demolition wastes. In its most basic mode of operation, the Tornado Generator™ can simply be used to dramatically reduce the volume of targeted wastes by about 90%, as well as the associated transportation and disposal costs.
GreenShift's new Tornado Trash Can™ product line is designed to reduce the volume of waste shipped off-site by commercial clients in appliances engineered to match the form factor of traditional trash cans.
"The key here is distributed waste reduction - helping a great many consumers each do a little bit to reduce what they throw away," said David Winsness, chief executive officer of GreenShift's industrial design group. "GreenShift's Tornado Trash Can™ products are designed to cost-effectively reduce disposal costs by decreasing the frequency of off-site disposal. We continue to see this technology as a 'killer-app' green technology and we are looking forward to bringing its many different applications to market."
More information on Tornado Generator™ products will be made available in conjunction with the launch of GreenShift's expected initial limited production run of Tornado Trash Can™ products in early 2006.
The new Tornado Trash™ product line will be manufactured by INSEQ Corporation, a 70% owned GreenShift portfolio company, and will initially be sold exclusively through INSEQ's new online green products marketplace, which is slated for launch later this month.
A prototype based on the new design was recently completed and is expected to be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Tornado Generator™ technology for prospective clients on-site at their locations.
