Guy-Raymond has ISO 14001 certification, demonstrating our commitment to environmental protection, and we are working to identify ways of further reducing our impact on the environment.

In November 2008 we started an electricity power reduction project and as a result of this we have identified many potential savings, some small but some very large. Some of these ideas have already been implemented, including:

The replacement of old air compressors with a new motor inverter controlled screw compressor. This will save approximately 161 000 KWH every year, which represents over 10% of our electricity consumption;

The replacement of 8' fluorescent tubes in the Injection Moulding department with new high frequency T5 tubes, with improved positioning, which has reduced power consumption from 9.0KW to 2.2 KW;

Fitting energy saving soft start motor units to two 100 ton moulding machines for evaluation. This will reduce the machines' power consumption by approximately 10%, or 0.8 KW per machine.

The latest major project is an air blast cooler which was fitted in October 2009. The air blast cooler draws in cold air from outside to cool the water used in the Injection Moulding department, when the outside ambient air temperature is below 14°C.
