Energikartläggning hos RostiGP i Gislaved
In today?s modern age, energy consumption has become a major issue, both from an environmental viewpoint and cost perspective. Because of a rapid technologic change and increased costs of production of electricity, the demand to develop effective methods for energy efficiency industries have grown.The electricity-intensive industries, such as plastic industry, the demand to reduce energy consumption has grown significantly over the past 10 years, which have led to the development of different methods to determine and locate energy-consuming parts in the industry. This also means being able to prioritize and organize activities in the industry.In this study the measurements of voltage, current, power and PF performance on injection molding machines (K-TEC 275 form Ferromatik Milacron in Germany) with a focus to locate, within a machine, various measures that could improve energy use in the plastics industry, in this case RostiGP in Gislaved. These measurements have been carried out with the help of a power quality clamp meter to carry out time logs of the machines for some time during normal word rate. Logging data were analyzed and documented to be used as a basis for access to various measures to improve energy use. In some cases it was carried out with calculations with the value and data from the company itself.While measuring, it was observed that the machines energy use was relatively well optimized for the terms and conditions as they have with their supplier (Gislaved Energy Ltd). This contributed to an improvement by only improving the PF would not be sufficiently to reduce consumption, but to reduce consumption you are forced to reduce the active power through the engine replacement or replacement of devices with new technology that can work more efficiently and cheaper. It also means that it is important to keep your system optimized and are well supervised to avoid unnecessary energy uses in your compressed air system of forgetting the lights in a premises where no staff staying for long periods.
