Air filtration 4.0 enables reduced energy consumption
Published: April 25, 2023, 10:05 a.m. Updated: April 27, 2023, 1:47 p.m.When energy costs are constantly increasing, many businesses are looking for efficient ways to reduce their consumption. Despite the fact that many industries are at the forefront of energy optimization and technical development, filtration solutions have been overlooked and stagnated – something that Nederman intends to change. The need for clean air and an optimized air flow is vital in most industries. Despite this, the development of the air purification industry has stagnated – until now. By combining digital solutions with traditional air filtration, businesses can now smoothly connect to their filtration products to ensure that everything works as it should. Magnus Edmén, Head of Sales at Nederman, believes that this will lead to both a significantly better working climate as well as reduced costs. Digitization and optimizationDespite the fact that large parts of the industry are far ahead in technological development, the filtration system has fallen behind. Magnus believes that many see filtering as a necessary evil. – Filtration is vital in, for example, the wood or metal industry, as the dust that is created can be explosive in large quantities or completely sonic, preventing continued production. However, it can have a large energy consumption and therefore result in high costs. With long experience and both global and local actors, Nederman has long been at the forefront. The combination of digital advantages, such as automated processes, the availability of operating data and competent technicians means great optimization possibilities. It is this combination and technical advantages that enable large energy savings. – The system is implemented and mounted during installation or directly on the already existing system. Through algorithms and logic, the system can then minimize energy consumption based on the current filtering need, says Magnus. Many businesses have their fan system switched on around the clock, as it could mean major consequences, like those mentioned above, if the fan was switched off during production time. However, this results in a high energy consumption, which according to Magnus, is completely unnecessary. – Our system cooperates with the remaining equipment and results in a production and technology that is in harmony and interaction with each other. If the fan is not needed at a certain time, it will not be switched on and therefore will not consume any energy. The importance of a good working environmentMagnus believes that all of this is fundamentally about creating a good working environment, for both people and nature. – Air filtration is not only vital for production and for reduced energy consumption, but also for the well-being of people and nature. Certain production waste, for example welding fumes, are carcinogenic and other chemicals can be harmful to nature. It is therefore vital for most branches of industry to invest in a system that is both ecologically and economically sustainable – for everyone, he says and concludes: – Our high-quality technology in combination with our digital services means that our products have greater flexibility and performance than other products. But fundamentally, our technical success is about creating clean air that can protect products, people and the environment.
