To help its customers be energy misers, the producer of Goodyear Engineered Products has become a U.S. EPA Energy Star Partner.
Energy-efficiency initiatives can be cost effective, according to Jim Hill, general manager-North America for Veyance Technologies, the exclusive manufacturer and marketer of Goodyear Engineered Products. "Energy savings can improve a company's financial performance," said Hill, "so we develop technologically-advanced products designed to reduce energy consumption." Energy Star, a joint program of the U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, helps protect the environment through business partners. Veyance has pledged to offer energy-saving products and guidance to its distributors and industrial buyers making equipment and maintenance program purchase decisions. "Timing is perfect," said Hill. "We've joined the program as energy management is becoming more critical to industrial manufacturers." According to a recent U.S. EPA study, Americans' awareness level of Energy Star has reached more than 70 percent in 2008, a 40 percent increase in five years. Primarily associated with home appliances, the familiar blue Energy Star symbol is now linked with several Goodyear-branded industrial products. Goodyear Eagle Pd, Falcon Pd and Hawk Pd synchronous belts and pulleys can achieve up to a 98 percent power transfer by avoiding slippage and pulley-sidewall friction. Goodyear Maximizer software helps installers select energy-efficient belts; Goodyear TensionRite belt frequency meters use light optics rather than sound to achieve optimum tension. "Belt tension is critical for power-transfer efficiency," said Hill. A new Goodyear EasyRider conveyor belt cover reduces energy loss at idler contact points. It recovers its shape more quickly than conventional covers, reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs up to 12 percent. Additionally, Goodyear Flexsteel steam hose with special couplings and the company's crimped steam hose program can provide energy-efficient steam assemblies. One coupling leak of 2.6 pounds of steam per minute at $11 per 1,000 pounds can add up to $6,000 lost in a winter season, explained Hill. "Energy management saves money on utility bills and avoids greenhouse gas emissions," said Hill. "Seeing the signature Energy Star logo signals that the manufacturer and its products can deliver the savings." Veyance Technologies manufactures and markets Goodyear-branded industrial and automotive products including conveyor belts, hose, hydraulics, power transmission belts, rubber track and air springs, as well as tensioners, sprockets, fittings and couplings. |
