Savings in the can
03 October 2016
A beverage can manufacturer in the UK wanted to save energy on its installed pump systems so approached Grundfos to undertake an Energy Check. The focus was on the can wash lines; an energy check was undertaken and a report produced.
An order was placed with Grundfos based on the savings projected by the Energy Check. It included 6 MTRE 64-8/2 and 8 MTRE 45-2/1 pumps. These vertical multistage centrifugal pumps are designed for pumping cooling lubricants for machine tools, condensate transfer and similar applications.
In addition to an ROI of 18 months, the customer will achieve operational savings of £53K per annum. So impressed was the customer with the energy savings of 590,000kWh/y, that they decided to change the pumps, not only on the original can wash line, but on their second line as well.
