Central Valley Machine ensures parts run to completion with Torus

Central Valley Machine is a precision manufacturer founded in 1976, serving aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors from a 150,000-square-foot facility in Logan, Utah. CNC machining at this scale demands clean, consistent power, and CVM wasn’t getting it. Nuisance trips scrapped precision parts, voltage and frequency issues shut down critical machinery multiple times a year, and heavy equipment like welders and panel benders drove steep demand charges. CVM partnered with Torus to stop the production losses, flatten demand peaks, and bring energy costs under control.

1. Nuisance trips and machinery malfunctions scrap precision production runs 
2. Welders, panel benders, and other equipment require heavy current during operation, spiking demand, and driving charges
3. Voltage issues cause critical machinery to shut off or malfunction, leading to operational downtime

Torus instantly corrects voltage issues, eliminating the nuisance trips that scrapped hundreds of thousands of dollars in precision parts annually.

1. Stored energy covers demand spikes from production runs and equipment start-ups, reducing peak demand.
2. Real-time energy data makes demand charges and power quality visible month over month

CVM's Torus system was designed with future solar integration in mind. The system can store excess energy from CVM's existing solar panel array instead of exporting it to the grid — increasing the return on their renewable investment and energy independence. As CVM grows its aerospace, medical, and industrial customer base, Torus scales alongside that growth, adding capacity and demand management as new machines come online.
