Indusquip assisted a Plastic Recycling Company with regards to ENERGY SAVINGS on clients Main Plastic Extruder. Indusquip firstly undertook FREE OF CHARGE Power Analyser recordings prior to AC Motor & Drive conversion. The DC Motor & DC Drive were replaced with a WEM High Efficiency motor and INVT Variable speed drive.

Original 200kW DC Motor kilowatt was reduced to 132kW WEM High Efficiency Motor & 132kw GD200 INVT variable speed drive. Variable speed drives offer both PF correction and reduction in current. (amps).

The savings in this application was 102.1 amps @ 400volts.

The actual Monetary savings in this particular case was exceptional due to clients extensive Production hours, where on average their cost of electricity was 75 cent p/kwh - Rand savings in 1 year would amount to R 404 000-00 in electricity.

Indusquip Marketing motto of “Energy savings are application specific” are
reinforced with the latest IEC specification IEC 60034-31: Application guide for
selection of energy-efficient motors.

 

Excerpts from IEC60034-31 – “In comparing motor efficiency not only the
increase of efficiency but also the respective power factor has to be taken into
account”. “When a replacement of a standard motor with a high efficiency motor
is envisaged in existing applications, the correct power-demand and sizing
of motor should be evaluated”

Indusquip - Fan Case Study 001

Indusquip Fan case study
Energy Savings, Vsd, Vfd, Inverter, Variable speed drive
 
Indusquip Marketing have assisted countless Companies with Power
Analyser recordings, advice and solutions to “Energy Savings”.

 

This Fan - Case Study for High Pressure Furnace Fan for Gold Mine
recovery plant where a Slip ring Motor was replaced with a WEM High
Efficiency motor and INVT Variable speed drive.

 

Original 350kW Slip-ring motor reduced to 315kW WEM High Efficiency
Motor & INVT variable speed drive. The Plant did have Power Factor
correction on Mains Supply and believed that this would reduce electricty
costs. Studies show that motors started DOL, Star delta & Soft Starter
are not corrected by means of Power Factor on main supply. Variable
speed drives offer both PF correction and reduction in current. (amps).

The savings in this application was 180.7 amps @ 525volts.
