Chico, Calif.-based Springboard Biodiesel is celebrating six years of biodiesel equipment production this week with the release of its “True Blue 190,” a biodiesel processor with a powder-coated exterior.
Springboard has been selling processors under its BioPro line since May 2008. To celebrate the six-year milestone, and to differentiate machines made in 2014 from other years, Springboard is selling machines with an optional “True Blue 190” powder-coated exterior through this year. The company is offering free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. through June.
“For six years, we’ve been listening to our customers feedback and upgrading our equipment and now, in 2014, this machine represents what we believe is the best small-scale biodiesel processor on the market,” said Mark Roberts, the company’s CEO. “If you are a school or a restaurant chain or a military base and you have been paying attention to the multitude of scientific reports outlining the impacts of climate change, you have a golden opportunity to make a difference and save money at the same time.”
