Woodworking: Energy Cost Savings
Trappenfabriek Vermeulen cut energy costs by 50% using Busch Vacuum's central system [https://www.woodandpanel.com/woodnews/article/trappenfabriek-vermeulen-cuts-energy-costs-by-50-with-busch-vacuum-s-central-system/]. How does this system work?
The central vacuum system from Busch replaces individual pumps on each CNC machine. This reduces energy consumption and heat output. Vermeulen previously used 24 individual vacuum pumps. The new system uses just three centrally located pumps. The central system also provides a more stable vacuum level. This leads to fewer production errors. The reduction in heat output has significantly improved working conditions. This has reduced the need for air conditioning.
