AIR BACK RE-INJECTION – VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE – INTELLIGENT MONITORING

AIR BACK 5 Recycling system.

This system allows the simple 40 bar AF compressor to re-use 5 bar compressed air coming back from the blow moulding machine. The 1st stage is acting as a low pressure unit while the 2nd and 3rd stage are managed as a booster. The energy saving is from 6 to 8 kW/ 100 m³/H retrofit. This is a unique system on the whole 40bar PET market. Design and Engineered by AF.

Energy Saving ES
. Version for this specific version of the CE68B, decreasing the consumed power.
CE68B ‘ES’
. 450 kW 2600 m³/H.

Frequency inverter. Variable Speed.

Available on the major part of the range.
Increases efficiency and decreases power consumption.
Most of the time this kind of electrical starting and regulation cabinet is equipped with airconditioning.

Priority Selection. Metacentre  XC 0-12 


XC 0-12

from 2 to 12 units, different powers, with or without Frequency inverter with Energy Saving device.
Control of several units in parallel for an optimal performance. Constant air pressure in the network
Compressors are monitored to anticipate the rapid pressure changes.
Optimal running hours timing and control.
Intelligent data analyser, performance monitoring.
Possible optional upgrades for monitoring units without micro-proce.

P 4

= 4 compressors maximum, same power only,
Without frequency inverter, basic simple priority selection. On specific request only due to a limited application.

80% of the PET plant working money expenses is energy consumption

AF Brings your production direct money savings

Energy cost is increasing worldwide and neglecting its importance in a production management is for sure increasing the working expenses.

Money savings is your Benefit during years…
