PrimePac Ltd, Northern IrelandContinuous extrusion blow molding

Energy appraisal by ABB authorized value provider, Advantage Control Limited ACS880-01 wall mounted drive, IP55 enclosure Synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM), IE4 efficiency class

Customer challengePower consumption and product quality Old blow molding

machine was using a lot of energy and producing increasing amount of rejects

Company needs to upgrade power connection in order to install a new extruder to produce products for a new customer

Customer benefitsImproved product quality and increase in production Power consumption of

the old machine reduced by 60 percent

30 percent higher output in accepted products

New extruder can be installed without power connection upgrade

The noise level around extruder is lowered

Customer feedbackMassive improvement in production.“We have been able to install another new all-electric blow molding machine. And even that machine is still not using all the 60 percent of energy we saved. We have managed to massively increase our production, just by installing one SynRM package from ABB.”
