Tempico, Inc.
Why Tempico
The Rotoclave® process is the key component in the effective, and financially viable operation to reduce by volume and weight, the MSW produced by any population center, thus drastically eliminating the noxious effects to the environment that present incineration and landfill disposal methods provide.
The Rotoclave® system provides the possibility to mechanically separate any element contained in the sterilized material, thus allowing the recovery and recycling of marketable targeted materials.
Tempico Information
Tempico, Inc. was formed in 1990 to commercialize patented technology utilizing pressure and steam within a rotating autoclave registered as the Rotoclave®. The technology is being used in the medical waste processing field currently, with other exciting applications underway.
Tempico is responsible for the manufacture, sale and service of the Rotoclave® medical processing systems to medical waste generators such as hospitals, laboratories, etc. The Rotoclave® technology is well suited for, and is being used by, regional medical waste processing plants both domestically and internationally.
The Rotoclave® technology offers the opportunity for volume reduction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to landfills. This unique application for Rotoclave® technology reduces volume by approximately 50% without the need of grinding. This application will become increasingly more important as landfills become full. New landfills are not a preferred solution for this problem.
