Reduced start-up current peaks contribute to energy savings
25 February 2014
Increased demand for Thatchers quality cider products has led the company to extend its premises. Direct Air & Pipework was awarded the contract to supply a compressed air system for cider makers’ new Jubilee building, which will contain the entire kegging facility, additional bottling line and a new state of the art canning line.
Direct Air provided a BOGE SLF 51 air compressor and downstream equipment to handle the varying demands of the processes, while remaining as energy efficient as possible. The unit has a specially designed airend which provides high output volumes at low energy consumption, allowing reliable and energy efficient compressed air supply.
A tighter/reduced system pressure virtually eliminates off load running, which in turn reduces start-up current peaks, that contributes to potential energy savings of up to 40%.
