Installed:
- EKOMAK 30CDVST Screw Compressor
- 30-40% electricity savings with frequency control
- EKOMAK CAD 110 Air Dryer
- AIRCOM Aluminum Piping
The challenge
In a woodworking shop, compressed air drives hand tools, paint and lacquer spraying, and pneumatic clamps. Demand in this kind of production is highly uneven: in one minute several tools are running, in the next none.
The solution
- EKOMAK 30CDVST screw compressor with variable speed drive
- Air dryer EKOMAK CAD 110
- Aluminium pipework — AIRCOM
Where the 30-40% saving comes from
That figure is not marketing. It follows from specific physics. A conventional compressor runs in only two states: fully loaded or idling. While idling it produces no air at all, yet still draws 20 to 30 percent of rated power.
A variable speed drive machine adjusts motor speed to real demand, so it simply never goes into idle. The second effect is in pressure: a fixed-speed system is forced to run 1 to 2 bar above what is needed in order to maintain its load-unload band, and every extra bar costs 6 to 7 percent in energy.
This is why a VSD machine is most effective where demand fluctuates, and a woodworking shop is exactly that kind of site.
The result
The shop has stable pressure, dry air, and 30 to 40 percent lower electricity consumption than a fixed-speed system.
For your workshop too
If your demand is uneven, a VSD compressor will most likely pay for itself quickly. See our screw compressors, air dryers and service.
