An example of the reduction in operating costs
Our t bend POWERLINE bending machines have a hydraulic unit with an output of approx. 60 l/min and a maximum operating pressure of 200 bar. Previously, a 15 kW drive was required for this. On average, approx. 80 % of the drive power is called up, as normal motors have a high power requirement even when idling. With 6 hours of daily use, this results in an annual power consumption of 15,840 kWh.
In a typical bending cycle with interval times of 5 seconds for loading and unloading the tubes, a servo pump has an average power consumption of less than 4 kW. This corresponds to an annual consumption of 5,280 kWh. If one kilowatt hour costs 0.25 euros, the new transfluid technology saves electricity costs of 2,640 euros per year. Low maintenance and repair costs due to the simplified fan technology increase this efficiency.
