Civil & Marine - Payback in Months for Two Large Fan Drives

A major upgrading of the control for two large fans has given both improved throughput and payback in under a year thanks to substantial energy savings. Two modular Unidrive SPM AC drives from Control Techniques have produced immediate energy-savings and paid for themselves in record time.

Alcoa - Keeping Up the Pressure at German Aluminium Plant

Three of three massive aluminium extrusion presses, at Alcoa in Hannover, now depend on variable speed drives from Control Techniques and, as well as dramatically increasing production time availability, increasing throughput by 10% and decreasing maintenance costs, the installations have cut energy consumption by a huge 40%, saving thousands of kilowatt hours of energy every year!

Henry Denny - Drive Provides Cool Energy Saving Solution at Henry Denny

The installation of a large freestanding variable speed AC drive from Control Techniques has produced improved temperature control in a food company’s chilled rooms – and is well on the way to delivering a massive saving of around £23,400 in their annual electricity bill – a cut of 50% of the plant’s total power usage!
