Show Local Salvage Yard Operators Build Own Auto Smasher by Bruce Jennings At their yard along the highway south of Ephraim, Keith, Allen and Ron Keisel doing business as Central Utah Coal and Salvage make compacts even more compact. They, of course, apply the same process to other cars, too, big and small, reducing them to 18 inch thick hunks of metal that are stacked onto a truck and hauled away for further processing. At a plant in Salt Lake City or Phoenix or Los Angeles the smashed hulks that once were new life in a cement wall or highway bridge. The process is called recycling a word that means reusing materials that could otherwise be wasted. The Keisels built their car smasher in their spare time over an 18 month period. Its basic parts are a car engine, a hydraulic pump and a couple of rams. It can apply 180,000 pounds of pressure, and that kind of pressure can make cars resemble pancakes. In the time they've been smashing cars into 18 inch layers, the Keisels figure they've put about 600 under the giant foot and then trucked them away. Most of those 600 cars hae come from Sanpete County junkers in somebody's yard or on the street that had better be serving a useful purpose. Some the Keisels go after, some are brought in. They pay $13 a ton for them. Cadillacs, Fords, Plymouths and Volkswagens will be shredded, melted down, and reprocessed as reinforcement bars. Eventually those cars have a Before a car goes into the smasher some parts are sallike radiators, tires, if vaged they've still got some life in them, anything else worth more than junk. When the Keisels get around to it, they intend to improve their smasher by installing larger rams and a heavier pump. Then theyll be able to reduce cars to about nine inches through the waist and haul that many more away per load. The Keisels dont claim the smasher is original with them. They had seen smashers in operation and decided to imitate, with some innovations of their own. Besides, they figured they could save something on the $55,000 to $80,000 price they'd have to pay to have one manufactured. Of course, smashing cars isn't the only operation at Central Utah Coal & Salvage. Smashing cars is mainly a ment and other materials for a Salt Lake based trucking outfit. Even Roxie, wife and mother, has her role in Central Utah Coal and Salvages manifold operation. She keeps the books. Allen expresses the family philosophy in words that have an old ring with a modem application: We put in according to our ability and take out according to our needs. Maybe that philosophy explains why the Keisels are willing to put in long hours of hard work making their vision of a shared success come true. summertime activity when there isnt much demand for coal. During the coal season Allen Keisel makes about five or six trips a week to the mines for the black stuff that is making a comeback as a principal fuel source. His brother Ron usually works at the yard. And Keith Keisel, the father head, is mainly involved with a third phase of the family business. He pilots a diesel truck around 17 states, and company hauling pipe, lumber, equip representative said.
