Emissions reduced
10 May 2013
CHEP, the leading provider of pallet and container pooling solutions, has achieved significant energy savings through the installation of energy efficient Atlas Copco compressors at its pallet production and repair sites in the UK.

The savings from the installation have been measured at over 1000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
CHEP has a network of service centre facilities located across the UK , seven of which have installed Atlas Copco equipment, including 8-9 bar compressed air which is used to transport the wooden pallets around the inspection and repair process.
There are also two air-driven nail guns on each repair bench and an average of 20 benches at each site. Together, these installations have helped to optimise the compressed air system used in all sites as well as eliminate air leaks.
