The UK manufacturing sector is worth as much as £208
billion, according to research from Cranfield University. The study also found
that manufacturing accounts for up to 13.5 per cent of the UK’s economy,
despite domestic manufacturing experiencing uncertainty in the wake of 20,000
job losses in the last three months.
The value of the UK manufacturing sector means that
maintaining current levels of productivity requires investment in the purchase
and maintenance of energy-efficient machinery.
Electric
motor-powered processes make up two thirds of industrial electricity
consumption worldwide, so it’s clear that upgrading to the most
energy-efficient motors will reduce long-term costs while yielding a quick
return on investment.
Adding variable-speed
drives to motor-driven applications such as conveyors, pumps and mixers
means manufacturers can achieve energy savings of as much as 60 per cent. Not
only does this benefit productivity, but it also minimises equipment wear and
maintenance requirements.

Value Provider for ABB drives,
we’re approved to recommend the ideal equipment to fully optimise manufacturing
processes. We have substantial experience within the manufacturing sector and
