How to boost energy efficiency in machines?

Energy efficiency is an increasing concern in the global strategy of your customers. By offering them machines that save energy you will have a definite advantage over the competition.

MachineStruxure™ solutions helps you design more energy efficient machines while increasing:

Machine performance
Machine attractiveness for end users

Machines energy optimization in 4 sustainability steps

For supporting energy savings and obtaining immediate results, we follow the 4 Energy Efficient principles adapted to the machine life cycle.
Make your machine an enabler for End User compliance to EN16001 & forthcoming ISO50001 standard

1.Measure

Machine Energy audit

Measure energy use with expert auditing to identify potential savings and malfunctions on the machine (Pumps and fans, Motors, Air compressors, Hydraulic station, HVAC control, …)
- Increased visibility on machine energy consumption
- Identification of significant savings on equipment costs (proper sizing for power equipment, cables, motors, …)

2. Fix the basics

Choosing the right motors since motors account for 60% of electricity usage.
- Advise on relevant motor technology and make machine compliant with local regulations
- Reduced space used by “just-enough” motor
- Preserve lifetime of motors and sensitive equipment
