Energy efficiency improvements on new tube packing machine

27 November, 2023

The results proved that the FPS120s tube packer would offer significant TCO improvements over the old FPS-1 model: it delivers a 48% improvement on maximum air consumption, and an impressive 92% improvement on average air consumption. Cerulean says it has calculated a saving of 4.5 million litres of compressed air per year based on the machine running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (but not allowing for any downtime).

Says Shaun Toms, Portfolio Manager at Cerulean: “In today’s economic climate, manufacturers like us have a growing responsibility to become more efficient in order to compete in today’s highly competitive marketplace. This entails a programme of continuous improvement and innovation. We wanted our next generation tube packer to address our customers’ pain points around energy consumption and total cost of ownership. Festo’s automation expertise was invaluable in helping us attain this goal.”
