Providing our customers with industrial solutions that ensure their products are of the highest quality is our primary objective, but not our only one. Our cleaning and materials joining solutions also respond to our customers' increasing demands for better environmental performance. Our ability to provide environmentally superior industrial solutions helps our customers comply with environmental regulations and can result in substantial cost savings.
Whether your focus is on reducing environmental
compliance costs, reducing the cost of capital
equipment ownership, or improving a product's life
cycle performance, Branson offers solutions that work.
Reduce Compliance Costs
Our customers face an array of environmental regulations. Their equipment should
ensure regulatory compliance with few, if any, additional controls. Branson
designs its equipment with this goal in mind. We help our customers:
- Meet and in most cases exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for solvent losses.
- Eliminate the need to use ozone depleting chemicals, chlorinated solvents, and other hazardous chemicals.
- Comply with OSHA requirements.

Reduce Cost of Capital Equipment Ownership
Superior environmental performance results in a reduced cost of ownership. Branson products create economic value for our customers by reducing or eliminating environmental costs associated with:
- Air emissions control
- Wastewater treatment
- Solid waste disposal
- Hazardous materials management

Improve Product Life Cycle Performance
While regulatory compliance is an important indicator of environmental stewardship, in many cases it only tells half the story. The environmental and regulatory community increasingly looks beyond facility emissions and wastes to determine the potential environmental impacts of a product through all phases of its “life” – from the raw materials that are used to make it to the way it is ultimately recycled or disposed. From this “lifecycle” perspective, Branson's industrial solutions offer a clear advantage.

Product Manufacture
|
Companies
that use solvents for precision cleaning face compliance costs associated
with the proper storage, handling, and disposal of these chemicals. |
Branson's ultrasonic cleaning
products can eliminate the need for potentially harmful solvents, lowering
compliance costs and reducing the impact of these chemicals on the environment.
|
| Product
Use |
Companies
that use epoxies or other adhesives to join materials must address the potential
health and environmental impacts of these materials when they are making
their products and in some cases, when their customers are using them. |
Branson's ultrasonic joining
solutions eliminate the need for potentially harmful adhesives and the
economic and environmental costs associated with their use.
|
|
Product Use
|
Companies that manufacture
food products generate waste when they operate and clean traditional cutting
equipment.
|
Branson's ultrasonic cutting
tools eliminate food-cutting waste and the need to use blade-cleaning
chemicals. This reduces costs for our customers while improving the environmental
performance of their operations.
|
|
Product Use
|
Companies
that use resistance welders to join non-ferrous metal parts face high energy
demands. |
AmTech's ultrasonic joining
solutions reduce energy requirements by a factor of 20%.
|
|
Product Recycling/Disposal
|
Companies
that use screws or other fasteners to join parts face additional costs if
they want to disassemble or recycle their products. |
Branson's ultrasonic joining
solutions eliminate fasteners and make it much easier to recycle products
at the end of their useful life.
