Case studies
Reduction of costs & increasing efficiency referring to drying systems of two customers
Which are the most important questions to get the best central material station?
For some customers, looking at the fuel consumption of a car, there are some questions to answer:
How fast is the car being driven? Which car? With or without traffic jams? What is the weight? How many people are riding? Gasoline or diesel?
So, how much “fuel” is consumed and what “vehicle” is needed to be efficient, depends on many parameters.
Before each project is launched, all parameters build the base for WENZ. All facts must be considered in order to create an offer for the customer before the project starts. The maximum of savings in relation of energy and costs with maximum reduction of the “CO2 footprint” are essential for WENZ. Thus, the information of only one or two parameters is not sufficient to provide an optimal advice for the drying process to the plastics processing customer.
Reduction of costs & increasing efficiency:
The know-how of the production process and the new qip® technology save up to 90% of CO2 emissions, an increase in efficiency of up to 50% can be expected.
Conditions:
Drying time: 4 h
Throughput per hour: 574 kg
Initial moisture of granules in %: 0,8 %
Final moisture of granules in %: 0,04 %
Ambient temperature in °C: 35°C
Drying temperature °C: 80°C
The following calculated comparison of WENZ customers is made under consideration of the parameters that are relevant for drying the material. For the calculation WENZ has been using average figures that are being improved in most cases in practice.
