Decarbonisation is a top priority for the manufacturing sector, especially in light of increasing carbon taxes. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are now urging their Tier I and Tier II vendors to take proactive steps in driving decarbonisation initiatives, complete with specific targets to achieve. Among the various strategies being considered, improving the energy efficiency of equipment stands out as a cost-effective and impactful option. One such equipment upgrade that is gaining traction is the replacement of existing oil mist collectors on CNC machines.
The Economics of Oil Mist Collectors
The energy bills for operating traditional mist collectors can range from ₹50,000 to ₹150,000 annually, which is almost equivalent to the initial cost of the oil mist collector itself. By replacing these with more energy-efficient models, significant savings can be realized. For instance, if a new oil mist collector can reduce energy consumption by 30%, the payback period for this investment is less than three years. Such investments are not only light on the pocket but also contribute substantially to watt savings, thus aiding in achieving decarbonisation goals.
Why Choose SFS’s Vayu Mist Collector?
This is where SFS’s Vayu Mist Collector brings in cost savings for you. With up to 30% lower energy consumption compared to the centrifuge-type mist collectors, and significantly reduced spare parts and maintenance costs, Vayu has proven to be a high-impact solution for decarbonisation. The benefits of upgrading to Vayu are clear: reduced energy bills, lower operational costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.
A Practical Example
Consider a manufacturing shop floor with hundreds of CNC machines, each equipped with centrifuge type mist collectors. By replacing these with Vayu mist collectors, the energy savings can be substantial. Customers who have replaced existing centrifuge mist collectors with Vayu oil mist collectors have gained significant energy savings every month.
