How Schaffer Industries reduces production costs with Torus

Schaeffer Industries, a leading steel manufacturer in Lindon, Utah, has delivered high-quality, American-made steel for over two decades. Partnering with Torus, they installed a modular power plant that delivers significant cost savings through demand charge reduction while improving power quality for energy-intensive manufacturing operations.

1. High demand spikes from welding, cutting, and rolling steel operations that cannot be rescheduled or modified
2. Costly utility penalties applied to unavoidable energy peaks and poor power factor
3. Power quality issues affecting industrial equipment performance
4. Difficulty visualizing and managing energy fluctuations across daily, weekly, and monthly cycles

1. Power factor no longer below utility limit, further reducing energy costs
2. Protection against power-quality issues like nuisance trips and damage to key production equipment. Real-time data on energy usage and facility power quality

Schaeffer Industries isn't just a Torus customer; they're also a Torus supplier. Located 40 miles apart in Utah, Schaeffer produces the American-made steel that goes into every Torus Station, while Torus delivers the energy infrastructure that keeps Schaeffer's fabrication lines running cleaner and cheaper.

The savings that Schaeffer's Torus system is projected to deliver will be reinvested directly into domestic steel production. 

The partnership is a working example of what domestic supply chains can do when they're built close to home: faster delivery, greater resilience, and lower costs on both sides.
