Exelon Grant Improves Lighting

Specialty Screw — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:56:58 +0000

Specialty Screw Corporation was fortunate to receive a grant through our electrical energy provider, Exelon, and facilitated by our electrical component supplier, Steiner Electric, that paid for approximately 25% of the material and labor cost in retro fitting our T12 florescent lamps with the more energy efficient new electronic ballasts, reflectors and T8 florescent lamps. This reduced our energy load for those lamps by 50% that equates to a 2.37 year payback. In addition in our shipping/receiving area, we replaced six (6) metal halide lamps of 400 watt output each with six lamp florescent fixtures of 192 watt per fixture.

Also, in our low traffic raw material warehouse area, we incorporated with each retro fitted florescent fixture a motion sensor resulting in even greater energy savings. Specialty did the full retro fitting in our offices and plant in three phases to minimize our cash flow requirements. The retro fitting was accomplished with minimal disruption to the work areas, and besides the energy savings, we will have less ongoing maintenance of the plant lighting, because all the fixtures have new ballasts, reflectors and lamps, not to mention the benefit of better illumination for our employees’ work areas.

Fastener Manufacturer Cleaning Technology

Specialty Screw — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:58:55 +0000

Specialty Screw Corporation of Rockford Illinois upgraded its part cleaning operations by adding a new parts washer utilizing Ransohoff’s latest cleaning technology, PRO-CLEAN DRUM ™. With the aqueous alkaline continuous part cleaning and additional stages for rinsing and rust inhibiting. An additional oil decanting system for removing oils from the cleaning solution. All added up to parts being cleaner, processed faster while reducing downtime.

Aqueous cleaning effectively removes heading and secondary oils from our fastener blanks making feeding and assembly of parts much more efficient. As part of Specialty Screw’s continuous improvement in the area of energy conservation, plans are being implemented for solar thermal heating of the 240 gallon rinse tank. The payback for the solar installation will be accelerated by trading equivalent carbon credits.

The reaction so far by employees of Specialty Screw Corporation has been very positive. The automatic tank filling option allows for much easier monitoring during the day. The larger drum size has allowed the throughput of fasteners cleaned to double. The new technology and tank auto filing will help reduce downtime.

Ransohoff, Incorporated is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and is a QS-9000 registered and ISO-9001 certified manufacturer. PRO-CLEAN DRUM ™ is a registered trademark of Ransohoff Incorporated.

Specialy Screw Saves Energy

Specialty Screw — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:27:20 +0000

The current relamping of our fastener manufacturing plant in Rockford, IL completes a plant wide relamping that had its initial start in 1998. Replacing 264 T12 florescent fixtures with high efficiency T8 units and reflectors. The new units use half the energy while maintaining the same lighting levels. With a ComEd rebate of 50% of the cost and a Federal Energy Credit on taxes, results in less than a 1 year payback.

Another area for energy conservation that Specialty Screw Corporation is investigating is the utilization of solar concentrators to preheat our aqueous parts washer fluid that has a total of 600 gallons of processing for our new three stage parts washer being delivered in September 2008. With integrated filtering equipment, the new parts washer from Ransohoff will further reduce our waste processing fluids in half, which originally we reduced in half when Safety-Kleen installed a waste water recycling unit back in 1998.

Specialty Screw Corporation has an on going Green Initiative which you can view at our website. You can also monitor Specialty Screw through our RSS news feed.
