Measures
- Installation of three new 10 kW piston compressors
Energy Savings
By installing three new 10 kW piston compressors and reducing the mains pressure, the company's compressed air costs have fallen by over 60%. This corresponds to approximately 60,000 kWh of electrical energy per year and a total annual savings of ¤20,000. Since ¤40,000 was invested in the compressors, the payback period is just two years.
