Energy-Saving Dust Extraction from Dust Control Systems Ltd
In most existing dust and fume plants, extraction fans operate at a constant speed and run continuously. Simply reducing fan speed by just 10% can save around 27% in energy. However, utilising their latest Dynamic Drive System, Dust Control Systems can design extraction systems which are dynamically responsive, providing optimum extraction, only when it’s needed.
For a typical application, with a 30kW main fan and machines that are not all in use all of the time, the average volume reduction achieved can result in power savings of between 40% and 60%. Assuming that a workshop operates 2500 hours per year, and the company is buying electricity at 10 pence/kilowatt-hour, this would deliver annual savings of £3,750, on just one fan.
In addition to employing Dynamic Drive Systems on new installations, DCS can readily retrofit the system to existing extraction plant, often without the need to replace any equipment or wiring.
