How can you be more energy efficient and reduce your your compressed air system electricity consumption?

Effective energy management and monitoring strategy

Soaring energy prices look like they are here to stay for a while yet. This has provided a refocus on energy efficiency, and what can be done to reduce electricity consumption. Cambs Compressors always aim to offer the best value in sustainable compressed air technology, but the power demands of production processes are constantly changing. The difference between a new modern compressor could be as much as a whopping 60% of energy consumption. However, there are some quick wins to save energy and reduce your bills. Whether it is normal wear and tear or the changing needs of the business – there are always opportunities to reduce energy usage.

Helping reduce the impact of rising energy prices

The greatest cost-reduction opportunities are most often revealed by conducting energy audits. These audits reveal quick, practical measures and advice on saving energy. Whether it's the most basic tasks, from air leak detection audits and fixing leaks – to switching off compressors during non-production periods. Cambs Compressors supports the BCAS 10% Taskforce. This is the British Compressed Air Societies initiative calling for UK businesses to take simple steps to cut their compressed air energy usage figure by 10%, which could demonstrate savings of £147.5 million.
