The HASV Air Saver Module generates pulsed air while also minimising pressure reduction during the short (30ms) off time to maintain the same efficiency as continuous air blow technology. At a customer trial plant in the US, installing the Air Saver Module on 50 blowguns provided healthy returns. Using a pressure of 5 bar, and operating for a total of 120 minutes per day, the factory is set to save approximately €5,500 on its annual electricity bill, based on 240 days’ usage.
Further advantages of HASV Air Saver Modules, which do not require a regulator, include a reduction in compressor operating time and noise, says Parker.
