Reach your sustainability goals – and reduce as much as 25% of installed power

These days, it’s crucial to embrace sustainability and work towards ambitious environmental objectives. That makes it essential to optimise machine processes and systems – and you can do this with innovative solutions, by downsizing pumps and by streamlining product variants. This not only reduces energy consumption but also means lower total cost of ownership and CAPEX. 

Today, around 50% of the power consumed by hydraulic and cooling systems in machine centres is underutilised. But in most cases, these systems are operating at full speed without optimisation. This has been happening for decades, resulting in excessive power consumption. 

By optimising these systems, we can reduce energy consumption by as much as 25% while improving and enhancing machinery. But how do we optimise machine centre hydraulic and cooling systems? 

We’ve developed a series of e-pumps with a multifunctional motor and built-in variable speed functionalit that’s perfectly suited to diverse machine tool applications, flows and pressures. So you can maximise performance and cost savings and ensure efficient production. 

Moreover, smaller filtration, cooling or washing units equipped with fewer control parameters often suffer from excessive control installations and suboptimal system designs. This leads to: 

• Higher CAPEX due to costly control parts of the equipment
• Greater OPEX due to an increasing need for engineering programming and expertise
• Overly complex equipment and solutions

Our design engineers can reduce pump size to less than a third of the fixed-speed pump with Grundfos high-speed e-pumps. That means you get an all-in-one solution that integrates the pump and advanced control functions, with the Grundfos MGE motor serving as a mini PLC. 

Overall, you get reduced system complexity, lower equipment costs, fewer system components, smart productivity, and the convenience of an all-in-one supplier. This helps you achieve a 37% energy reduction compared to fixed-speed pumps, thanks to enhanced efficiency and precise pump sizing.
