Ecopare portfolio
We work closely with a number of companies to help them optimise their energy consumption. Here are some results we have achieved for our clients:
Plastics Sector
| Area: | Process Lines |
|---|---|
| Optimisation: | Capital replacement of older motors to newer, energy efficient motors. |
| Outcome: | £10,000 per annum plus a deferred investment of up to £60,000 for a new sub-station. |
3 process lines showing a 24/5 weekly operation profile with the older machine consuming 30% more energy for a similar task
Metal Fabrication Sector
| Area: | Heat Treatment Plant |
|---|---|
| Optimisation: | Reduce power during non-working hours to reduce base load. |
| Outcome: | £17,000 per annum savings. |
Heat Treatment plant base load reduced by changing work practices
Speciality Printing Sector
| Area: | Compressed Air |
|---|---|
| Optimisation: | Update working practices to ensure smaller compressor is in operation. |
| Outcome: | Reduction of 62% per annum in facility's energy bill. |

Food Processing Sector
| Area: | Production Line |
|---|---|
| Optimisation: | Change working practice to ensure line is turned off instead of in a standby or waiting mode. |
| Outcome: | £1,600 per annum savings. |
A higher cost incurred waiting vs working over a 4 week period
Engineering Sector
| Area: | CNC machines |
|---|---|
| Optimisation: | Change working practice to ensure CNC is turned off during non-working times. |
| Outcome: | Average saving of £1,200 per annum per CNC machine. |
