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, as well as 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, American’s 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. "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.
