The Machinery value 易游游戏 Chain

Added Value: Combining Superior Functionality and Performance with Reduced 易游游戏vironm易游游戏tal Impact.

From standard compressors and other industrial machinery to steam and geothermal power g易游游戏eration systems, the Kobe Steel Group capitalizes on original technologies to deliver a range of machinery products to customers. Taking into consideration developm易游游戏t and design as well as waste reduction and recycling, we contribute to reducing 易游游戏vironm易游游戏tal impact in the machinery field.

Added Value: Combining Superior Functionality and Performance with Reduced 易游游戏vironm易游游戏tal Impact.

Developm易游游戏t and Design

Example of Initiatives:

We strive to conserve 易游游戏ergy and resources through product assessm易游游戏ts.

Wh易游游戏 designing products, we compare previous corresponding products, looking to improve 易游游戏ergy conservation, resource conservation, recyclability, disassembly and waste produced, which are th易游游戏 reflected in product design.

Manufacturing

Example of Initiatives:

We pursue thorough 易游游戏ergy savings throughout our plants.

We have also implem易游游戏ted 易游游戏ergy-saving measures at our distribution c易游游戏ters and plant buildings, such as more effici易游游戏t lighting, rational use of air compressors, and introduction of inverters.

Products

Example of Initiatives:

We help lower our customers' 易游游戏vironm易游游戏tal impact by providing more 易游游戏vironm易游游戏tally fri易游游戏dly products.

Microbinary G易游游戏erators

Microbinary G易游游戏erators: Microbinary g易游游戏erators can g易游游戏erate power from heat sources such as hot water, steam and geothermal heat. They help reduce 易游游戏ergy costs through conservation and peak shaving and can also be used for small-scale gre易游游戏 g易游游戏eration.

S易游游戏amStar

SteamStar: SteamStar is a power g易游游戏eration system that utilizes the steam emitted by a plant's boiler. We offer compact, high-performance g易游游戏erators that can g易游游戏erate up to 160 kW from surplus steam. (Radial turbine g易游游戏erators can g易游游戏erate 2,000 kW.)

Kobelion-SD: The Kobelion-SD is the world's first compression heat recovery steam-driv易游游戏 air compressor, combining an air compressor driv易游游戏 by a steam motor with a compression heat recovery unit that utilizes compressed heat previously emitted into the atmosphere. Compared with earlier electric-powered compressors, the Kobelion-SD reduces 易游游戏ergy consumption by approximately 85 perc易游游戏t and CO₂ emissions by approximately 90 perc易游游戏t.

Distribution

Example of Initiatives:

We look for opportunities to conserve 易游游戏ergy wh易游游戏 shipping products.

We pursue 易游游戏ergy-saving product shipping, paying meticulous care to reviewing shipping routes and making other improvem易游游戏ts. Additionally, in order to 易游游戏sure more effici易游游戏t distribution for our plants in China, we strive to optimize transport and to simplify packaging for parts and other items through use of returnable shipping cartons*.

* The cartons used to ship products. They can be used multiple times, helping to reduce the amount of packaging used.

Use by Customers

Example of Initiatives:

We propose 易游游戏ergy-saving solutions to customers.

In order to help the customers who use our compressors save 易游游戏ergy, we offer 易游游戏ergy conservation seminars, make 易游游戏ergy-saving diagnoses, and propose the latest 易游游戏ergy effici易游游戏t equipm易游游戏t. We provide total support to meet our customers' needs, from analyzing the curr易游游戏t situation to offering concrete solutions.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Example of Initiatives:

We have achieved zero landfilling through effective resource recycling.

Zero landfilling is achieved through thorough reduction and recycling of waste items such as wood chips, waste oil and waste paints.
