• Reclaim Systems ROI (based on various Ontario locations at 80% reclaim with 26,000 cycles
and excludes maintenance costs)
Challenges unique to our market Water Costs Salt Saturation
Wash Type Capital Cost Annual Savings Investment return
Cloth Tunnel $25,000 Approx $15,000 <2yrs
Touchless Tunnel $25,000 Approx $18,000 < 2yrs
Touchless Rollover
$22,000 Approx $8,000 <3yrs
High Efficiency Heating Systems Typical investment ranges $30,000 - $50,000 ROI typically 3-4 yrs depending on system and volume Combine with Energy Management System Considerations
Humidity Management Placement
VFD’s Emerging Technology Manage power output to reduce peak loading and consumption Reduce loading and inrush increases motor life Vacuum centres, dryers, pumps
Dryer Applications
• Spot Free Rinse Systems Opportunities for waste water use
Irrigation Weep Systems Washrooms
Challenges unique to the Canadian Market Performance is temperature sensitive
• Weep Systems Approaches
Recapture weep water and re-circulate, heat with glycol loop Savings Potential
