We can conduct a free, no-obligation energy audit to identify how your business could reduce its energy consumption and devise workable and cost-effective solutions to achieve optimal efficiency with no loss of performance.

Optimising your production, minimising your energy use

Motors are a vital component in many sectors of industry, but are one of the biggest consumers of electricity, so it pays for all businesses who use motors to implement effective measures to cut their energy consumption.

Traditionally, the output of flow and pressure from a motor was controlled by dampers or control valves. These reduced the output without cutting the speed of the motor or power consumption. In simple terms, this is tantamount to driving a car with the accelerator flat on the floor and using
the brake to control the speed.

Driving into a 30mph zoneQUESTION – In this situation, what do you do?

  1. Take your foot off the accelerator and slow down?
  2. Keep your foot hard on the accelerator and control your speed with the brakes?

Of course, no motorist would even consider driving in this way. Yet too many businesses continue to operate their processes this way so an effective solution that improves efficiency without compromising on performance is vital.
