GREEN ENERGY
We collect rainwater to reduce our environmental footprint. Rainwater is natrally destilled, reducing mineral buildup and corrosion in factory equiptment. By using rainwater we are conserving resorces and extending lifespan of our machinery. We meet all our washing needs in production – all from collecting rainwater from the factory rooftop.
Harnessing Rainwater for Production
At Olsen Metal, we strive to blend innovation with sustainability in every aspect of our operations. One standout feature of our production process is our impressive washing machine—think of it as a giant dishwasher, specifically designed for cleaning metal applications, including our specialized metal spinning products. What sets it apart? It doesn’t use tap water. Instead, we harness the power of nature by collecting rainwater.
The Power of Rainwater Collection
Our journey began with a simple yet effective initiative: collecting rainwater from our factory rooftop. This eco-friendly approach significantly reduces our environmental footprint while allowing us to meet all our washing needs without relying on municipal water sources.
By utilizing rainwater, we benefit from its naturally distilled quality, which helps to minimize mineral buildup and corrosion in our factory equipment, crucial for maintaining the integrity of our metal spinning processes. This means we’re not only being responsible stewards of our environment but also prolonging the lifespan of our machinery.
How It Works
You might be wondering how we manage to fulfill our washing requirements with just rainwater. Here’s a snapshot of our process:
- Collection: We have strategically placed multiple containers to collect rainwater from our factory rooftop.
- Efficiency: Over time, we discovered that we only need half the amount of rainwater we initially anticipated to meet all our washing needs, including the thorough cleaning of our metal spinning applications. This is achieved by collecting rain from just half of the rooftop!
- Sustainability: By relying on rainwater, we’re conserving valuable resources while ensuring our equipment operates at peak performance.
The Results Speak for Themselves
The results of our rainwater collection initiative have been nothing short of remarkable.
- 4 Containers: Our system includes four large containers dedicated to capturing rainwater.
- Half the Rooftop: By utilizing rainwater from only half of our rooftop, we can meet all our washing needs for our diverse range of metal spinning products.
- Sustainability Success: This practice not only enhances our operational efficiency but also significantly contributes to our sustainability goals.
At Olsen Metal, we take pride in our commitment to innovation and sustainability. By harnessing rainwater for our production processes, particularly in cleaning and maintaining our metal spinning applications, we reduce our reliance on tap water and extend the lifespan of our machinery.
