In the last post, we talked about how to keep an eye on your factory’s energy usage rating. This time, we’d like to take a closer look at how you can actually create a stronger level of energy efficiency within your factory setting.

Creating an Eco-Friendly Factory

No matter what your eventual plan for reduced energy consumption, the changes you make will fall into two major categories.

• Capital Investments: Your capital investments are where you’re going to be looking at better equipment to make your energy efficiency goals work. This is where Komax comes into the picture. Whether you’re talking about a heat exchanger or our award-winning Triple Action Static Mixer, all of our equipment is designed to help you do more with far less energy. In fact, with many of equipment options, you can expect an energy savings of up to 30%. To get a closer look at how we can help you save energy, contact us today. Capital investments may require a larger budget at the outset, but they provide returns that other energy efficient changes just can’t begin to touch.
• Operating Adjustments: These kinds of changes take the data you gathered during your evaluation and change how it is currently being used in the long run. While exactly what changes you make will depend extensively on your specific situation, a few things many factories do include identifying equipment that is using energy, yet sitting idle, making maintenance changes, and retrofitting existing equipment to utilize less energy. Reducing startup spikes, looking at how to keep energy to a minimum during regular production shut downs, and ensuring nothing coincides with peak energy demand are all also useful changes.

Creating real cost savings for your company in terms of energy really is possible, but it’s going to take some work on your part to make that happen.
