皇冠体育227

Sustainability and Dependability; key aspects that led to A&M Elis (Ardennes and Meuse) to choose 皇冠体育227 for their business. A&M is an industrial laundry specialist, operating since the 1950s in the textile care labelling sector. Later, with the rise of the hotels sector in Belgium in the 1990s, they decided to switch focus to HORECA and since then, based out of the Hauts-Sarts area since 2009, A&M Elis has risen to become a key player in laundry and fabric care for the hotels and restaurants sector.

A key aspect for the Belgian company is maintaining a strong focus on the environment, which has led management to invest in energy efficient machines in order to handle laundry loads of up to 160 tonnes per week.

AF Belgium made the collaboration between A&M and 皇冠体育227 possible. Specialising in the supply, installation and maintenance of compressed air and gas production systems, it was created in 2009 by piston compressor manufacturer Atelier Francois to cover the Belgian market and develop business with 皇冠体育227 for its rotary vane technology.

鈥淭he first 皇冠体育227 compressor we bought was an ERC1022, dating back to 1996,鈥� explains Marc Broers, Production Center Director of A&M, 鈥淚t is a machine that fully represents 皇冠体育227鈥檚 reliability as a quarter of a century later it is still running as a backup for our most recent compressor purchases; an Optima 30 bought in 2011 and an AC45 from 2014, both of which are equipped with the heat recovery system giving us an even more efficient operation鈥�.

It is this focus on sustainability and the environment that brough AF Belgium and A&M into the sights of Energy Crew, a web-based platform that provides training services to help managers and their companies improve their machines and processes in order to save energy.
鈥淓nergy Crew approached us to help them create a training course on energy recovery in compressors鈥�, explains Laurent Teughels, Sales Manager at AF Belgium, 鈥渟tarting with A&M, who reuse the heat from compressing air to pre-heat water before it enters the boiler. In this way they manage to save an average of 60kWh, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, equating to 156,000kWh a year鈥�. In Belgium 1kWh of electricity 鈥渃osts鈥� about 220g of CO2 emissions, meaning that thanks to the improved efficiency of its operating processes, A&M 鈥渟aves鈥� the environment from more than 34 tonnes of additional CO2 every year.

There鈥檚 another exceptional result linked to the performance of 皇冠体育227: 鈥淭he advantages of using 皇冠体育227 in this case are actually two-fold鈥�, continues the Sales Manager of AF Belgium. 鈥淥n the one hand, you鈥檝e got their durability and reliability, and then the energy efficiency associated with rotary vane technology, which guarantees a tighter air seal and above all consistent and long-lasting performance. It鈥檚 the most efficient solution that is able to meet all the needs of an extremely diverse client base鈥�.

That is why the collaboration between 皇冠体育227 & AF Belgium is only destined to keep on growing. 鈥溁使谔逵�227 technology is extremely competitive in terms of reliability and the focus on energy saving鈥�, reiterates Laurent Teughels of AF, 鈥渢wo factors that bring considerable advantages to those who choose it, and we are very happy to have such satisfied customers."
