1000 Accident Free Days
June 1st 2009 marked our 1000th accident free work day here at Egge Machine Company. CEO Ernie Silvers reports: "I am tremendously proud of all of our employees for remaining focused on the target and continuing to be safe."
We marked this day with a special celebration.
We had special limited edition (employee only) t-shirts and gifts for the employees as well as a catered taco cart lunch. A favorite here at Egge. Counterman Peter Alamo won the taco eating contest with a "gut-busting" 15 tacos! He beat the previous record held by our petite receptionist IleneYniguez.
Safety Captain, Marcia Martinez reports: "It's not just a matter of wearing safety glasses, using equipment properly and housekeeping, It's also about reporting potential hazards, reporting near misses and offering solutions to prevent them from happening again. Basically, keeping the lines of communication open. We can't 'sit back now & put it on cruise control, we've got to continue our good safety habits and go the extra step and improve upon them."
Ernie continues: "The record number of days without an accident has afforded us a favorable position with our workers' comp insurance carrier - who, by the way, still wants to know why their other clients can't be more like us. This favorable positioning helps keep our fixed expenses down which, in turn, helps us weather the storm of the current economy."
Piston of the Month - March 2009 - The EP2148 for 1957-67 Chevrolet, Fuel Injected HiPo 283
The fiery red month of March gets it's name from the ancient Romans as Martius after Mars, the Roman god of War. Working the front line in the connecting rod defense our EP2148 advances till the pressure builds and BOOM another explosive attack from the ignition pushes against the advancing line creating horsepower to go again and again and again, 6200 times per minute. Our Piston of the Month has a pop-up design with a 190 dome to capture the explosive force only to gain more strength.
Fuel Injected Hi-Performance combustion is no match for the T-6 heat treatment, which makes this little baby perfect for the demands of a Chevy 283. And in a split second the EP2148 marches forth to battle in the combustion chamber.
A Super Ram-Jet Fuel Injected 283 will produce 283 hp at 6200 rpm 290 lbs-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. Add 11:1 compression and you’re getting 315 hp! These battles are won with the kind of power that only Egge’s World Class manufacturing can create.
A descendant of the classic 265, the 283 with it’s 90 degree cylinder block has plenty of room to bore and stroke it out to a 327. Egge offers these pistons in the standard 3.875 bore to .125 oversize at a total 4” giving you plenty of performance options.
