A large Household cleaning product bottler recently contacted Paxton about replacing their compressed air nozzles with a Paxton blower and air delivery system. They provided the following information:
- Three compressed air fan nozzles
- Operating at 75 cfm and 80 psi
- Energy usage per year was $9,893, assuming an energy cost of 7 cents per kW hour
Paxton engineers designed a drying system for them that included a 3 hp centrifugal blower and 10 nozzles for air delivery. This system provided 300 cfm at 1 psi, guaranteed by Paxton to dry as well as -- or better than -- the existing compressed air system. Energy usage for the Paxton system is only $1063 per year and resulting in energy savings of $8830 per year and a less than one year return on investment on the cost of the blower system.
We also recently designed a system for an automobile manufacturer for wheel and tire blow off. In this case, cost to operate the compressed air system was $4.40 per hour, and the cost to operate the Paxton system was only $0.74 per hour. The return on investment for this system was less than 1.2 years. Learn more.
