Gardner Denver, fabricante de unidades de vacío y presión, ha recibido el prestigioso galardón a la Eficiencia Energética Medioambiental por su compresor de tornillo ROBOX energy, en la entrega de los premios Motion Control Industry Awards 2017 de este año.
Ya en su segundo año, la entrega de este galardón, que tuvo lugar el 9 de mayo en el Centro de Exhibiciones NEC de Birmingham, celebra los logros y la innovación excepcionales en la industria del control de movimiento.
The Robuschi triple-impact ROBOX compressor, which is ideal for the energy-intensive wastewater treatment sector, offers energy savings of up to 30 per cent. This factor particularly impressed the judges, as the award is giving in recognition of a product, system or service which has made a significant contribution to environmental issues, such as energy savings, emissions control, noise reduction or life cycle costs.
Wastewater treatment plants are high-energy users. In the UK alone more than three per cent of the nation's gross national product is spent on purifying public and industrial wastewater. Vacuum pumps, blowers and compressors are essential for many processes in these plants and any reduction in their energy consumption can have a significant impact on overall operating costs.
