The path to saving 20% of electricity

1. Hardware upgrade (contributing about 50% energy saving):

◦ High-efficiency motor + frequency converter (energy saving 8%~12%)

◦ Low friction design (energy saving 3%~5%)

2. Intelligent control (contributing about 30% energy saving):

◦ Dynamic speed regulation + automatic start-stop (energy saving 5%~7%)

◦ Tension/temperature closed-loop control (energy saving 3%~4%)

3. System optimization (contributing about 20% energy saving):

◦ Heat recovery + production scheduling (energy saving 4%~6%)

Notes:

• Return on investment: usually 1.5~3 years (calculated based on the electricity cost of 0.8 yuan/kWh and the average daily operation of 16 hours).

• Maintenance costs: Permanent magnet motors need regular degaussing inspections, and intelligent systems need software upgrade support.

Through the superposition of the above technologies and refined control, the overall energy saving of the slitting machine is 20%, and in some cases it can even reach 25%~30% (such as with photovoltaic power supply). The actual effect needs to be evaluated in combination with the original energy efficiency level of the equipment and the production conditions.
