1. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 1 Energy Savings & Molding Costs Fred Pratt Business Development CCS SyncroSpeed what can retrofit motor speed control achieve?

2. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 2 what to expect from this session how much savings to expect the cost of retrofit installations what makes a good system perform well how to avoid poor results & failed investment

3. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 3 molding costs relative and rising costs of –material –labour –energy –maintenance, depreciation, overheads energy is not the greatest spend, but costs can be managed and reduced

4. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 4 savings in perspective

5. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 5 energy savings in perspective energy for the molding machines is most of the utility bill source

6. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 6 energy savings in perspective power consumption operating hours savings potential cost of realisation risk

7. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 7 savings index motors and heaters offer the greatest potential but not the least risk

8. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 8 hydraulic IMMs what’s not to like?

9. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 9 moulding machine hydraulic losses Q p actual pump discharge actual discharge pressure true flow demand USEFUL POWER WASTED POWER true working pressure requirement prime cause of losses is mismatch of power supplied to true demand

10. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 10 how the savings are made matching supply to demand –speed of movement –volume of oil from the pumps –regulation of required oil volumes reducing pressure losses attack the over supply of oil volumes and pressures

11. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 11 performance … what to expect reduction in motor energy consumption –25% to 55% reduced load on oil cooling system –additional 5% to 15% of above machines to operate as normal still working 10 years on a developing technology that delivers measurable results

19. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 19 typical system inverter to drive the motor controller to regulate the inverter signal interface with host machine user interface for information techniques & experience –installation design & specification –maximise energy savings –deal with host machine faults

20. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 20 typical installation

21. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 21 main screen The main screen displays essential operational information; drive (inverter) status motor speed motor power averaged energy savings

22. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 22 calculate power savings The ‘re-calculate’ button forces the motor to run at full speed for three cycles, then revert to speed control. The Full Power data is retained and the SyncroSpeed data refreshed every three cycles. Users can establish benchmarks of energy performance for every job. Setters have the vital information to refine the job setup to further optimise energy saving performance.

23. energy savings & molding costs retrofit motor speed control 23 power consumption This screen provides useful information for the user concerning power consumption and energy costs. The ‘energy cost per kWh’ is set by the user. The consumption and cost variables are automatically updated and displayed every 3 cycles of the machine.
