5th June 2014 marks World Environment Day, an
annual event which sees the United Nations promote global awareness of
environmental issues. It’s an occasion when all of us should consider our
impact on the planet, but we’re well aware that our customers want to reduce
their carbon footprint every day of the year, not just one.
As part of our Green Efficiency initiative, we always look
to offer our customer engineering solutions which are energy efficient and
reduce carbon emissions. Here’s how we do it in each of our divisions:
ABB Variable-Speed Drives
As members of ABB’s Authorised Value Provider scheme, we
have access to a global network of products and expertise for variable-speed
drives. This means we can recommend other products and services that could
improve the energy efficiency of your plant or process. This ensures you get
the ideal product for your application, keeping your carbon emissions to a minimum.
Electric Motors
Gibbons’ ABB electric motors, along with our own brand, conform
to the International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60034 (rotating
machinery), meaning they meet the latest efficiency regulations. With energy
efficiency standards changing all the time, we keep our customers abreast of
new European directives to ensure they reach increasingly stringent targets.
HVAC Services
When ordering from our HVAC Services division, the
pre-purchase phase includes a thorough site energy appraisal which allows us to
advise where the best opportunities are for reducing the impact of the building
on its environment. In addition, our comprehensive programme of repair,
refurbishment and retrofit is designed to upgrade customers’ equipment to new,
more energy-efficient products.
Humidification
Our atomiser systems are specially designed to offer a
low-energy humidification solution, helping you reduce your carbon footprint –
not to mention your costs.
Panel building
Gibbons’ extensive control panel service includes
refurbishment and retrofit of existing systems in order to help you meet
energy-efficiency targets.
Pumps & Controls
We’re available at each stage of a pump’s lifecycle to make
sure your equipment maintains energy-efficient running, from routine servicing
to major overhauls.
Transmission Systems
Gibbons’ range of transmission systems include a variety of
gear arrangements such as worm gear motors, bevel gears and shaft-mounted
gears, meaning we can match the right level of energy-efficiency to any
application.
Rewinds & Repairs
We’ve been rewinding electric motors since 1969, and our
expert engineers are more than capable of restoring your motor to its original
efficiency. In fact, a rewind may actually increase a motor’s efficiency, so if
it’s the most energy-efficient choice for you then that’s what we’ll recommend.
If you’d like to discuss how we can lower your energy
consumption and reduce your carbon footprint, give us a call on 01621 868138 or
