Energy savings for board maker
November 1st 2011 In a bid to meet production demands
for improvements in energy
efficiency and air quality, insulation
board manufacturer Celotex has
replaced its existing compressor
installation with an Atlas Copco
variable speed drive, oil-free
compressor together with a heat
regenerative IMD dryer. The result is
reduced energy consumption and
improved air supply quality. The
positive environmental impact of the
new installation has been a
contributory factor in gaining the
company ISO 14001 accreditation.
The single air-cooled ZT75VSD
FF machine has an IMD heat-ofcompression
technology dryer. The
installation provides the moisturefree
air blanket required for the
production process and, due to its
VSD feature that matches output to
production demands, is a major
factor in reducing energy use.
The compressor is pre-wired and
pre-piped ready-for-use out of the box. More articles from Atlas Copco Ltd: |
