ETG amorphous core transformer will save approximately 1,600 metric tons of CO₂ emissions*

ISO9001 and ISO 14001 Environmental Certification:

The Engineering Technology Group (ETG) has made it a double whammy by becoming ISO: 9001 and ISO: 14001 certified. As the UK’s leading machine tool and turnkey solution provider, ETG has implemented the global standards to build upon its already robust business framework whilst demonstrating its commitment and compliance to environmental and quality standards.

Commenting upon the certification to the internationally recognised standards, ETG’s Group Managing Director, Mr Martin Doyle says: “ETG has long been committed to achieving excellence in every facet of our business. We have continually delivered industry-leading products that have been serviced and supported by high-calibre employees that exceed customer expectations – this is a credit to our robust business framework. By integrating a QEMS system into our operations and implementing a PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle, we will accelerate our drive to ‘Net Zero’.”

ETG carefully considers the merits of all its machine tool principals and associates, collaborating with them to ensure they are making inroads regarding net zero goals – addressing scope one, two and three emissions. The objective is to supply machine tool products that have improved environmental and power-saving features. One very successful environmental initiative introduced by ETG is amorphous core transformers.

Industry-leading energy saving amorphous core transformers

Powerstar is the trusted supplier of amorphous core transformers to ETG; this collaboration was formed through AESSEAL and Betterworld Solutions, with both companies being members of the initiative.

Amorphous core transformers offer high level of efficiency, deliver substantial savings in operating costs and thousands of kg of savings in CO2 annually. Powered by Powerstar, ETG’s super-low loss amorphous core transformers help manufacturers to reduce CO2 emissions, cut costs and meet environmental responsibilities.

The transformers we supply are suitable for both old and new machine tools. Perfect for environmentally conscious and cost-savvy businesses, our transformers dramatically maximise power and cost savings. When you install an amorphous core transformer on your machine tool, you significantly decrease power consumption and CO2 emissions, limiting your business’s carbon footprint and saving energy costs.

Even though the initial cost is slightly higher than conventional transformers, amorphous core transformers deliver a better return on investment. Over ten years, the new amorphous core transformers can yield an average saving of £25,500 while reducing CO2 emissions by 40,000kg.

Consider this cost-saving and multiply it by the number of machine tools in your shop – your business could save a significant amount. Furthermore, if energy prices keep rising, the amount you save will only increase.

Every nine months, conventional transformers consume their initial investment in wasted energy. On the other hand, our transformers are significantly more efficient and waste very little energy.

Amorphous core transformers are not dedicated to the machine tool manufacturing sector – they can be integrated into most sectors that require a “step down” transformer.
