Discover new ways to operate more sustainably and see how much you can save. It’s all prepared for you in a customized report with the facts, figures and outcomes clearly documented.
WHAT IT IS
Sustainability is only the start.
The Sustainability Assessment Program from Spraying Systems Co. is a proven process that will help your operations become more efficient, productive, sustainable and safe.
It happens on-site, at any plant you choose, with no disruptions to production. And the results can be significant — all from some very small changes.
During the assessment, our team of spray technology experts will visit your plant to evaluate essential spraying applications such as cooling, coating, cleaning, drying, mixing and others.
Our experts will identify actionable ways to:
-
Reduce water, chemical and energy use
-
Reduce scrap and waste
-
Improve worker safety
A few weeks after the assessment, Spraying Systems Co. will share the findings. You’ll discover new ways to operate more sustainably and see how much you can save. It’s all prepared for you in a customized report with the facts, figures and outcomes clearly documented.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Sustainability Assessment Program matters because it reveals some surprisingly simple changes you can implement immediately to save water, energy, chemicals and money. You’ll recoup the cost of these changes in just a few months, if not weeks.
If that seems too good to be true, consider the facts below.
SIMPLE CHANGES EXAMPLE #1
Reduce Flow Rate
In some operations, lowering the flow rate won't negatively impact performance and the savings can be significant.
SIMPLE CHANGES EXAMPLE #2
Optimize and Automate Cleaning of Tanks and Other Equipment
- Water savings typically range from 50% to 75% when tank cleaning nozzles replace manual cleaning
- The risks associated with tank entry and exposure to toxic fumes are eliminated and in-demand workers can be deployed to other tasks
- Cleaning time can be reduced by as much as 90% and tanks/equipment can be returned to service more quickly
- If tank cleaning nozzles are currently in use, newer technology can help reduce water use further
