Environment
The observation is simple and shared, we do not have a planet B. The environment plays an integral part in the problems manufacturers face. It is no longer possible to produce, design, and sell products without thinking of the impact they may have on the environment.
Definox is technically involved in designing more sustainable products and committed to a global reduction in consumption. The high standards of its know-how contribute to developing its industrial practices in the sense of a collective awareness.
HOW DOES DEFINOX SUPPORT MANUFACTURERS ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES?
RESPONSIBLE DESIGN CHOICES
- Interchangeability of sub-assemblies and components
- Encouraging the use of locally produced components
- Integrating environmental criteria in product design
SUSTAINABILITY OF EQUIPEMENT
- Sustainable designs of Definox products
- Equipment lifespan of over 40 years for an optimal and economical use
- On demand components, well beyond the sale of standard replacement parts
MAINTENABILITY OF COMPONENTS
- Definox products are entirely maintainable
- Components replaced on demand
- Reparation of valves used in rotation so as not to disrupt production lines
- Retrofitting of valve assemblies
MODERNIZATION OF INFRASCTRUCTURES
- Renewal of the machine park
- Optimization of the pickling station to diminish energy consumption
- Project of recuperating heat generated by the machines to be reused in the process
OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCES
The rise in consumer demands, the volatility of raw material quality and cost increases are leading manufacturers to produce better and more sustainably.
The Philosophy of up-cycling
Preserving our resources includes fighting against obsolescence. The oldest valves still have spare parts available, beyond the classic 10-year period, allowing you to upgrade your park at the fairest environmental and economical cost.
- Our valves are 100% repairable using standard maintenance tools
- Pneumatic actuators can be completely disassembled in order to replace only the necessary parts
- We integrate retro compatibility in all of our new development projects
Recyclability
Our design office uses digital simulation to make the first prototypes, optimizing the use of raw materials and energy. We aim for reliable, robust designs that significantly reduce the frequency of part replacement. The geometry and materials used offer durability and waste reduction throughout the life cycle of the equipment
Continuous improvement
Definox and its SORIO technology help you to meet the challenge of sustainability and performance. With continuous improvement we accompany you in the optimization of your resources.
