| | | ENCAP: Overview | | ENCAP is a technology driven company that produces value-added products for the retail, landscapers, golf, sports, lawn care, and forest fire restoration markets. The mulch-based product line offers solutions to help repair bare spots, establish new turf, control erosion, and condition the soil. The entire line features the AST, a patented technology that releases water-soluble PAM into the soil. From the environmentally sound building that houses operations, to the beneficial reuse of recycled office paper in the manufacturing process, ENCAP has established a corporate philosophy of being environmentally sensitive. |  
| | | Production | ENCAP’s production plant, located in Green Bay, WI was built in 1999, covers 20,000 sq. ft. and has received numerous awards for energy efficiency and green building designs. This fully integrated; state-of-the-art processing plant is completely automated. Bagging capabilities at the facility range from ten to fifty pound poly bags. Large bulk bags and trailer loading are also available. The versatile plant has the capability to produce granulated mulch, encapsulated seed, NPK fertilizers, and many other agglomerated materials for private label, tolling, and test market purposes. | | | Advanced Technologies | ENCAP develops and markets advanced technologies for erosion control, seed establishment, fertilizer runoff, and other environmental management challenges. These technologies offer solutions to the landscape, construction, forest fire restoration, retail and agricultural markets, both domestically and internationally. In addition, ENCAP is currently developing a series of advanced technologies to be used in a variety of market segments ranging from soil stabilization to manure management. ENCAP owns the patents and exclusive rights to numerous soil and water related technologies throughout the world. With over a dozen US and international patents and applications, along with countless trademarks, ENCAP is positioned for long term success. | | | Environmental Solutions | | ENCAP's technologies in development feature the world's first fertilizer control product containing patented Movement Control Technology™ (MCT™). This environmental solution is designed to improve the delivery and use of valuable crop and turf nutrients by effectively reducing the runoff, leaching, and loss of nutrients. In addition, ENCAP's MCT™ is also designed to assist in manure management practices by controlling the movement of potentially harmful components of manure. | | | | International Success | | ENCAP's technologies are relevant throughout the world and have far reaching environmental and economic implications. Partnerships with FEECO International and Soil Net, LLC are instrumental in the advancement of new technologies and processes for handling agricultural and industrial by-products in Colombia, Brazil, China, and other countries. ENCAP will soon have facilities in Colombia and other parts of the world to support distribution channels into South America, Europe and beyond. | | | | | Post-Fire Restoration Projects | | | Fire ravaged soils on steep slopes and mountainous regions face significant challenges from the affects of wildfires. The intense heat can adversely affect both the soil structure and chemistry creating increased problems with soil erosion and plant establishment. ENCAP's PAM-12™ Plus featuring Advanced Soil Technology™ (AST™), delivers the needed solution and has been proven to be more effective than straw at establishing vegetation, fighting erosion, and overcoming soil hydrophobicity (water repellency). The downstream impacts of wildfires to the rest of the fire-damaged site, the surrounding watershed areas, nearby surface waters, native wildlife and local communities are enormous if not properly treated. PAM-12™ Plus has the ability to control erosion and reestablish plant life effectively to protect the environment at a significant cost savings. | | | | History
The basis of ENCAP’s agglomeration (particle size enlargement) technologies was developed along with its parent company, FEECO International. FEECO has been helping industry solve material processing problems since 1951 with equipment ranging from single machines to complete turnkey operations for companies such as OM Scotts, IMC, Cargil, The Andersons, Simplot, Farmland, Pursell, and Agruim. The knowledge ENCAP and FEECO have gained in working across markets provides the opportunity to develop unique solutions to some very complex problems. Whether particle size, shape flowability, composition, and/or strength are of concern, we can tumble, mix, granulate, pelletize, ball and condition the solution. |
