Merseyside linen and work wear
rental company and laundry, Deeside
Laundry, is enjoying a saving of 15%
on its gas bills and lower maintenance
costs following the replacement of its
mechanical steam traps with 30 of
Thermal Energy International’s
GEM Venturi orifice traps.

Previously, Deeside Laundry
found its mechanical traps were
failing open, closed and partially
open. The solution came in the form
the GEM Venturi orifice steam trap,
which has no moving parts to wedge
open or fail.
Following a successful trial of the
GEM traps with a tumble dryer,
GEM’s engineering team carried out a
full survey of the laundry. Now
Deeside Laundry is saving 10% in
energy costs alone, which over a tenyear
period will equate to £54,000.
