ABB drives cut £20,000 off energy bill for GKN

摘要

ABB low voltage AC drives are saving GKN £20,000 a year in energy costs on its Toyota component production line. ABB contacted GKN ASL with a proposal to investigate energy usage at the plant and determine if low voltage AC drives could make a difference on any motor-driven applications. Ade Stone, Energy Champion for GKN ASL, identified the fume extraction on the Toyota line as a likely candidate and agreed to a trial of ABB drives.
