EcoSpa
We invite funeral directors and entrepreneurs to partner with CycledLife to grow or launch their death care business using our disruptive technology.
CycledLife's EcoSpa has a stainless-steel interior. It operates below 199 degrees Fahrenheit. For those concerned about safety, it is a low-temperature system; thus, it does not create high-pressure. It does not require steam. It is truly a beautiful system that can be operated inside a funeral home, approximate space required: 8' long x 3' wide x 3' high.
Inside Scoop on Water and Alkali Systems
Besides us, there are other companies offering water and alkali systems for use with human remains including, Resomation® LTD (Matthews International is a distributor) and BioSAFE Engineering. Our competitors offer high-temperature systems; whereas, we manufacture a low-temperature systems, which operate at ambient atmospheric pressure.
Less hassle, contanimation, cost, maintenance, downtime, and space requirement compared to high-temperature systems.
Price is a key issue. No one who has done their homework would buy a high-pressure system, especially since these systems are more costly to purchase and to operate than a low-temperature system. High-pressure technology is outdated and inferior to our patentable EcoSpa.
To understand why high-pressure systems are so expensive, $150,000 or more, one must follow the money involved in making such systems. To build a high-pressure system requires components that can withstand high-pressure. This requires the use of exorbitant specialty parts. These parts will need to be repaired or replaced, adding to the total cost burden of owning these systems. Steam boilers are required, which are more costly than the hot water tank specified for our system. High-pressure systems require expensive doors to withstand the pressure. Low-temperature systems are less costly to build and to operate.
At the end the operating cycle, both high-pressure and our low-temperature system produce similar results: bones; sterile medical devices, including pacemakers, which can be donated; gold; silver; mercury containing amalgams used in tooth fillings; and a nutrient enriched water.
A 750 pound body can fit in our EcoSpa.
An EcoSpa requires a heat source: natural gas or propane.
There is significant test data to confirm the equivalency to high-pressure systems in the destruction of prions. CycledLife's EcoSpa is being manufactured in Denver, Colorado, USA. Installation process: set the system in place; plumb in the vent line, water supplies, gas or propane, and chemical tanks; and connect the electricity. It is ready to go.
The process time is less than 2 hours using our patentable chemical process.
Please e-mail us to request a spreadsheet model of the financial aspects of this business opportunity. In most markets, two dispositions per month would be sufficient to cost justify the investment in our system. In most markets, a funeral director can save about $150 per disposition, plus travel and labor costs, instead of using a wholesale crematory.
