Energy savings for board maker

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.
