Save energy with the right conveyor belt
Would you like lower operational costs at your facility? The answer to this question is most likely yes. If you also would like to help the environment by saving energy, then today’s blog will be of interest.
Solutions beyond belting
As of 2019, global energy consumption is still slowly rising at 0.6%. Although energy efficiency improvements are slowing in general, the good news is that industrial energy efficiency is becoming a focal point. By making energy efficiency an essential part of business, companies can make a significant impact – not only reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also cutting operational costs.
The demand for electricity, in particular, is constantly increasing and most likely represents a significant proportion of your business’s total energy costs. Developing more efficient technologies and processes are the best way to achieve energy efficiency. That’s why at Habasit, we continuously look for ways to improve technologies to bring you more energy-efficient solutions.
What are the benefits of energy efficiency?
- Reduce energy costs
Many industrial companies spend over 15% of their operating expenditure on energy. Yet what if instead you could increase profits 2-10% annually by saving energy? With smarter processes and products already available, it’s possible. For example, manufacturing plants can often reduce process-heating costs up to 15% by implementing energy-saving measures and best practices.
- Impact your environment
Greenhouse gas emission is one of the biggest culprits behind rising levels of CO2 in our atmosphere. Energy efficiency represents about 40% of the world’s greenhouse gas reduction potential. As part of that potential, improving your energy efficiency has tremendous capacity to boost economic growth and decrease your negative impact on the environment.
- Boost brand competitiveness Given the current economic situation, it’s more important than ever to improve competitiveness by cutting energy costs. Yet competitiveness is also about pulling in more revenue via brand preference. Customers increasingly choose suppliers and manufacturers that value sustainability and invest in industrial energy efficiency while reducing their costs. By focusing on energy efficiency, you gain a sincere reputation as an environmentally friendly company.

Habasit Eff-Line
Habasit Eff-Line fabric conveyor belts reduce application running costs through cutting energy consumption by up to 45%. Their special impregnation lowers the sliding friction of the belts, and also makes them more durable, leading to longer belt lifetimes, fewer belt replacements, and even more savings.
Power Transmission Belts
Habasit’s fully synthetic, high-quality power transmission belts are equipped with a strong and resilient traction layer made of polyamide, polyester, or aramid. Wear-, oil- and grease resistant friction covers made of NBR rubber provide a high degree of consistent friction between the belt and the pulleys.
Spindle tapes
Habasit has been setting the benchmark for spindle tapes for decades, and today our spindle tapes are used in the textile industry all around the world. Drawing on our extensive range, you can find the most suitable spindle tape for your specific application, no matter how demanding.
HabasitLINK spiral belts
Habasit has a broad range of HabasitLINK plastic modular belts, HabiPLAST profiles and wear strips, and necessary components and accessories, making us the reliable single-source partner for any spiral applications.
