Sawing & storage innovations

For many years, Kasto has been supplying its storage and retrieval systems for long stock and sheet with optional energy recovery, whereby surplus kinetic energy, such as that produced in braking or lowering of lifting gear, is converted into electricity and fed back into the grid. 

Now the company can optionally supply its automated storage systems with an integrated energy storage unit that permits flexible use of the recovered power. It will be demonstrated on a KASTOunitower at EMO.

The solution, which can be retrofitted, not only reduces energy costs but also improves the quality of the supply because power is continuously drawn and load peaks are avoided.
