Orange Line Oil Company and Shell Lubricants Are Pleased To Announce The Ecobox System
March 1, 2011- Pomona, CA - Orange Line Oil Company, Inc, a Shell Alliance Distributor, has teamed up with Shell Lubricants to distribute Ecobox to Southern California.
Through its design, Ecobox can help owners and operators of oil change facilities more efficiently store, manage and deliver oil to their customers' vehicles. The bag containing the oil in the Ecobox carton is designed to help improve speed and ease of use compared to bottles, as it drains quickly, leaves minimal residual oil behind and requires less handling than quart bottles.
According to Shell, using the Ecobox plastic liner results in 89 percent less plastic landfill waste than the equivalent 24-quart plastic bottles, and the Ecobox carton is fully recyclable. The Ecobox pump system provides motor oil delivery that helps improve many operational tasks associated with dispensing oil using individual quarts, the oil company said.
The Ecobox is part of Shell's "smarter mobility" approach to developing innovations for cleaner and more efficient transport of people and goods. Smarter mobility has three elements: smarter products, smarter use and smarter infrastructure. The Ecobox system is an example of smarter use, through smarter packaging, Shell says.
Oil is easily dispensed from the specially engineered box and valve, and then transferred to the engine crankcase by a custom-designed Ecobox container or pump system. The Ecobox carton can reduce storage space in shops, as it is about one-half the size of the equivalent volume of single-quart cases. Easy-to-read Ecobox carton labeling and the specially organized storage rack help technicians select and install the correct oil, while delivery of oil to the vehicle is simplified through labeled containers or no-drip digital metered delivery nozzles.
As the number of viscosity grades that locations are required to keep on hand continues to increase, the Ecobox system can allow installers to offer a wider range of specialty oils to meet customers' needs by making it easy to stock and install a number of different motor oils without the need for bulk storage.
Combining this innovative packaging with professional product training through Orange Line Oil Company, the professional oil change installer has the necessary tools to provide the most complete service and value to the oil change consumer.
