On behalf of the Whitewater, Wisconsin community
and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Schenck AccuRate has received
the second annual Whitewater Environmental Achievement Award for the design
and manufacture of its Alternative Fuel Feeding System.

The award winning product was chosen for its ability to lower the emissions of greenhouse gases produced from the use of fossil fuels in cement manufacturing processes. Key to the system is the ability to meter waste materials such as PET bottles, saw dust, tires, paper, wood chips, rice, bone meal, and others to the main burner and calciner of a cement kiln reducing the need for non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal. Replacing only 5 tons per hour of fossil fuel by operating a Schenck AccuRate Alternative Fuel Feeding system 24 hours a day is the equivalent of removing nearly 20,000 cars from the road annually.
The Whitewater Environmental Achievement Award was created by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and the city to reward individuals and companies that have implemented programs to uphold environmental sustainability.
