Always Green, Becoming Greener

Energy Efficiency Solutions

For years, The Schulz Group has provided energy efficiency solutions to our customers. Now we are transforming our own facility into a more environmentally friendly workplace.

Some of the things we have done to transform our own facility are:

Intensive recycling program in-house to include:
Batteries, oils, solvents, florescent bulbs, metals and ballasts from light fixtures, glass bottles, aluminum cans
Vari-drives (energy efficient drives) are being added to machines, starting with a milling machine in the machine shop
Energy efficient air compressors have been installed
An air compressor with a vari-drive has been added to the facility
All new vehicle purchases are increasingly more fuel efficient.

Spotlight: H20WELD: Oxygen Gas Generator

Used in making copper wire connections and eliminates the use of bottled carbonized gases, resulting in no CO2 emissions.

Features:

Safety: 10 Psi max, no stored gases. No harm to corneas from flame.
Ecology: Zero carbon emissions. Water vapor bi-product is absorbed into air.
Handling: Lightweight handle and simple to use.
Economy: 85% less expensive to operate than bottled gas.
Heat Quality: 6500 ’F, neutral flame, precise, robust.

Safety

No hazardous fumes produced as a by-product. Special safety glasses not required; non-carbonized flame Operates at 2-7 Psi., depending upon torch tip size. Not governed by OSHA standards. Not considered compressed gas. Not a hazardous or combustible machine.

Quality

Easy employee training and use. Same flame without employee intervention. Better fill due to focused heating and improved capillary action. Fewer voids due to better joint fill. Less heat transfer and overspray of flame. 50% less heat dissipation, hence less oxidation and heat transfer damage.

Ecology

No by-product pollutants. Operates on Distilled Water and Electricity. No CO2

Economy

80-90% lower operational cost than bottled gas based on $0.10/KW. Faster brazing time than conventional heat.

Handling

Flexible torch tip accessories. Light weight and versatile. Torch can extend 150 feet from machine. No explosive canisters to touch.

Heat

2000’C higher temperature than conventional bottled gas. Clean burning. Adjust by distance of flame to object, not by adjusting mixture of gas. Always a neutral flame. More focused heat to brazing area, less heat expansion.
