Energy efficient equipment

The contract comprised the supply of a 90Kw variable speed HPC compressor, a 55Kw fixed speed HPC compressor with integral heat exchanger, an HPC energy saving refrigerant dryer, 5000 litre receiver and filtration, free standing heat exchanger, plus all necessary mechanical installation of pipework using 3" galvanised tubing.

David Davies, Moulded Foams' plant manager said: "The compressors drive 12 EPS moulding machines and I'm confident that by specifying the latest technology models we will soon be benefitting from significant energy and cost savings, particularly as the heat exchangers now enable us to harvest the hot air produced by the compressors and use it heat our product drying facility."

Moulded Foam will also take out a 5 year service contract covering all the equipment.
