THE OPPORTUNITY
American Sheet Extrusion needed to improve the quality and consistency of electricity at its Evansville facility, reduce demand-based energy costs, and enhance production quality control without disrupting manufacturing systems and using the energy savings to fund the enhancements.

THE RESULTS
After comprehensive facility and operation analysis, Energy Systems Group designed and installed a custom energy efficiency program and strategy that significantly increased electric reliability, reduced energy consumption and improved operations efficiency without impacting any existing budgets. This $300,000 partnership benefits American Sheet’s facility and operation through:

• Reduced Operating Costs by Compressed Air Retrofit & Storage Application
• Increased Energy Reliability While Reducing Costs Via Power Factor Correction
• Improved Lighting to Enhance Operation and Facility Environment
• Guaranteed Energy Savings to Pay for the Program

As an added benefit, ESG was able to enhance American Sheet’s manufacturing process by:

• Utilizing ESG’s In-Depth Analysis to Install Extrusion Heat Blankets that Reduce Energy Consumption and Increase Manufacturing Process Quality Through Tightly Controlled Extruder Barrel Temperatures
