Practical tips for energy conservation
Spies Hecker is giving bodyshops some handy hints on how to save energy, and save money.
Practical steps * Check pneumatic tools, e.g. eccentric grinders and spray guns, regularly for leaks and replace faulty parts. Switch the compressor off at the end of a workday.
* Determine the maximum compressed air needs of pneumatic tools and set the system to maximum pressure.
* Frequency converters, controlled booth equipment and controlled management of process air flow yield savings. However, the cost of investment must also be considered.
* Speed Repair with IR- or UV-drying in an optimally equipped universal workplace takes the pressure off the booth and saves energy during drying.
* The use of air blowing equipment accelerates drying.
* Regularly service and replace prefilters, ceiling filters and paint arrestors in the spray booth.
* Lighting: Motion detectors in the store and changing room ensure demand-driven light use.
