ZAP! - LE's Energy Saving Programme
Objective: Reduce customers’ overall operating costs!
Energy consumption is a major concern for every industry, both for economic & environmental reasons. Friction (due to metal to metal contact) in the working parts of machines robs electrical energy. (more info)
LE’s heavy-duty lubricants reduce friction, heat & wear - and, therefore, electricity consumption due to:
LE lubricants reduce friction and when it is reduced, less electricity is required to drive a gearbox, compressor or pump.
LE lubricant customers generally see a 5% reduction in their power requirements and some have experienced savings as high as 20%.
The following are averages of actual documented electricity savings through the use of LE lubricants in the following equipment:
-
GEARBOXES 15%
-
AIR COMPRESSORS 12%
-
Typical annual savings for an estimated 5% amperage reduction more than pays for the LE lubricant required to do the job as shown below:
