Two new electric Zambonis are now cleaning the ice surfaces at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre.
The City of Belleville says the new machines have several advantages over traditional fuel-powered models, including:
Zero emissions
– Electric Zambonis produce no tailpipe emissions which helps maintain better air quality.
Environmental Impact
– Using electric Zambonis reduces the carbon footprint of ice rinks, helping reach sustainability goals.
Noise Reduction
– Electric models operate more quietly than their fuel-powered counterparts.
Cost savings
– Electric Zambonis save money in the long term with lower fuel and maintenance costs.
The new Zambonis are being used at the Mackay Insurance and Family Dental Centre Arenas at QSWC.
