Problem
During a visit to a customer’s plant in Spain, which produces construction materials, Brammer noticed that an air treatment unit was being powered by a 45kW motor. On closer inspection, Brammer realised that there was no electric control for this – meaning that the motor was constantly running at maximum speed and power.
Solution
To rectify the problem, Brammer installed a converter that allowed the motor to be controlled and the customer has since been able to reduce motor speed by 29%, whilst maintaining the required airflow at the factory.
Result
Overall, this led to improvements in production efficiency, reduction of energy consumption and increased energy efficiency – all equating to a total cost saving of €28,000. Furthermore, the substantial energy savings Brammer helped to create will be central to an important internal report on the customer’s performance and sustainability.
