Our commitment to resource conservation started in earnest with the move to our new plant in 1994. The 35,000 cubic foot per minute dust collection system is powered by a 75 hp reverse incline fan, an energy savings of 40% over the 125 hp requirements of a traditional system. Our wood waste; molder shavings, sawdust, ground scrap wood, and sander dust fill a 48' trailer every 1-2 weeks and are recycled.
We reconfigured the spray booth in our finishing room to reduce the required air volume, saving 42% on heat and electricity. With the installation of reflectors plus high output ballasts & bulbs we were able to cut by one half the number of fluorescent bulbs lighting the plant, saving 55% on electrical requirements. A power factor correction capacitor has improved our electrical power factor by 22%.
