Up To Date Laundry, Inc. in Baltimore, Maryland is the perfect example. Every week, Up To Date Laundry handles millions of pounds of laundry for a variety of hotel and healthcare clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The company also puts great emphasis on being environmentally friendly and reducing its carbon footprint. Both of these tasks have become much easier after Up To Date Laundry installed three of Miura’s modular boilers.
Even from a cold start, Miura’s boilers can get Up To Date Laundry’s plant at its full working pressure in mere minutes. Once there, the boilers can be turned on or off depending on the company’s fluctuating needs over the course of the day. Conventional boilers would have to run on full blast all day, wasting energy when the need for steam decreased. With Miura, Up To Date Laundry now has boilers with the versatility to handle the company’s exact needs, helping them reduce their energy costs by 20 percent.
Using less fuel is not only good for Up To Date Laundry’s bottom line, but it also helps the company meet its emission goals. Less fuel means reduced CO2 emissions, helping Up To Date Laundry and similar companies comply with limits on fossil fuel emissions. Miura’s boilers are also able to reduce the temperature of their flame, resulting in a 75 percent reduction in NOx emissions.
“With Miura boilers, there’s less of a volume of water in the actual boiler, which makes for a safer environment,” says Ken Weiman, the chief engineer at Up To Date Laundry.
The ability to turn Miura boilers on and off not only helps save energy, but it can also give companies like Up To Date Laundry salary relief. Before making the switch to Miura, even if laundry operations stopped for the day, an employee would have to monitor the boiler overnight for safety purposes. However, Miura’s boilers can move to standby or shut off completely when they’re not needed, knowing they can be turned back on in the morning and started up in just a few minutes. This feature of Miura boilers helps Up To Date Laundry and similar companies reduce both manpower and payroll, which they are all too happy to do thanks to Miura.
