News from Beacon Engineering - Manufacturers of Aerosol Can Disposal and Candy Making Equipment

It has been over a year now since we lost Dean Shields, our chief engineer and designer of the vertical tube taper and EVAC aerosol can crushers. Dean’s business philosophy was one of deep personal consideration and support of each individual customer. We are committed to the continuation of this philosophy.

While the past year has been difficult from a personal standpoint, we have regrouped and added Susie’s son, John Chivington and daughter, Jennifer Guinn to our staff. John will assist Wesley Babcock in assembly and as service technician. Jennifer will be taking over the sales and marketing, and Susie and Sandra Quinton have assumed management of operations. Our long time shop employees are still in place and their experience and knowledge permit us to continue serving the industry with tube tapers, aerosol can crushers and confectionery/candy making machinery as Dean would serve you himself.

In 2008 we were blessed with excellent sales. We successfully installed a large EVAC II in Italy, an EVAC I and tube tapers in Australia and other aerosol and confectionery production machines across the United States. This year we are hoping to complete the development of the vertical electronic orienting tube taper and orienter-spot labeler for the aerosol industry.

We are especially proud of our EVAC line of aerosol can crushing product recovery systems. We are well aware that the worldwide economic situation may have affected your capital expenditure budget. However, please factor into your ROI the ability to burn the propellants as alternative fuel, to re-use the contents, to save money on your present disposal costs, and to derive income from the recycled scrap cans. The EVAC systems assure your complete compliance with ‘going green’ as they capture in excess of 98% of the entire contents, providing maximum safety for the environment. The EVAC I operation can also be viewed on our website.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions, requests for quotations, or however we can be of service.

Thank you for your continued confidence in Beacon Engineering, and in our aerosol can and candy making machinery and service.
