GAMBICA: SYSTEM EFFICIENCY, NOT PRODUCT

At the 2012 Motor Driven Systems conference (8th November at the St John’s Hotel, Solihull), GAMBICA will be launching a white paper comparing investing money in efficient systems, and saving capital but accepting higher energy bills.

Presented by GAMBICA deputy director Steve Brambley (pictured), the paper will show how the lifetime cost of efficient equipment is lower due to the high proportion of energy costs in motor-driven systems.

Brambley will explain that 97% of the lifetime costs of a motor come from the energy it consumes and that energy efficient systems can deliver significant, often double digit, savings. He will also compare two example lifetime costs, the first with investment in motor control, the second without it.

"Running old or inefficient equipment is a false economy,” explains Brambley. "The real barrier to investment is the understanding of the lifetime cost of a system at a corporate and financial level. In contrast, I think engineers readily accept the benefits of motor control.” The price for delegates to attend the Motor Driven Systems event is £235 plus VAT.
