PrimePac Ltd, Northern IrelandContinuous extrusion blow molding
Energy appraisal by ABB authorized value provider, Advantage Control Limited ACS880-01 wall mounted drive, IP55 enclosure Synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM), IE4 efficiency class
Customer challengePower consumption and product quality Old blow molding
machine was using a lot of energy and producing increasing amount of rejects
Company needs to upgrade power connection in order to install a new extruder to produce products for a new customer
Customer benefitsImproved product quality and increase in production Power consumption of
the old machine reduced by 60 percent
30 percent higher output in accepted products
New extruder can be installed without power connection upgrade
The noise level around extruder is lowered
Customer feedbackMassive improvement in production.“We have been able to install another new all-electric blow molding machine. And even that machine is still not using all the 60 percent of energy we saved. We have managed to massively increase our production, just by installing one SynRM package from ABB.”
