Compressed Air Pumps' 57% Energy Savings
To realise low energy and service costs with a new Arkle Print has installed a PIAB Vacuum and Blow System (PVBS).
PIAB's PCC automatically maintains a pre-set level of vacuum to ensure that a consistent vacuum level and therefore, a secure grip, is provided at the suction point, which is reliable during fluctuations in vacuum pressure, caused by product variations or changes in cycle time, said the company.
Additionally, the PCC allows the pump to only consume the energy that the optimised vacuum level requires.
That feature decreases air consumption and lowers the overall noise level of the vacuum system, whilst reducing physical wear and tear on machinery components and lowering the need for spare part repairs and overall maintenance costs, added PIAB.
PCC is offered as a complete package, with valves and vacuum switches.
It can be connected to PIAB's new P6010 vacuum pump without further controls or monitoring equipment.
Based upon the company's patented COAX multi-stage ejector, the P6010 vacuum pump is said to provide up to 40 per cent more flow than conventional vacuum pumps.
