How RAETTS Air Bearing Blowers Helped a Dongguan Paper Mill Save Over 30% in Energy Costs

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, every business is looking for ways to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency. The Dongguan paper mill, one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, faced this very challenge in its wastewater treatment operations. To address this, the mill decided to upgrade its blower system, replacing outdated 5 x 95 kW Roots blowers with 3 x 110 kW RAETTS Air Bearing Blowers. The result? A substantial 30%+ reduction in energy consumption, alongside improved aeration stability and reduced maintenance needs.

The Challenge: High Energy Consumption and Maintenance Costs

The paper mill’s original Roots blowers had been in operation for years, but as energy prices rose and maintenance costs increased, it became clear that an upgrade was necessary. The older systems were inefficient, consuming more energy than needed and requiring frequent repairs. The mill was looking for a solution that would not only improve energy efficiency but also reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

The RAETTS Solution: Air Bearing Blowers for Energy Efficiency

After analyzing the mill’s requirements and energy usage, RAETTS recommended a switch to Air Bearing Blowers, which are known for their high efficiency and low maintenance.

Key Benefits of RAETTS Air Bearing Blowers:

• Energy Savings: By upgrading to 3 x 110 kW RAETTS Air Bearing Blowers, the mill immediately saw over 30% reduction in energy consumption. The new blowers are highly efficient and match air flow and pressure requirements more precisely, reducing energy waste.

• Lower OPEX: With lower electricity consumption, the mill was able to reduce its OPEX significantly. The new system is also much more reliable, with fewer breakdowns and lower maintenance costs compared to the old Roots blowers.

• Smart Control: RAETTS Air Bearing Blowers feature intelligent control modes that optimize air flow, pressure, RPM, and current, providing the mill with the ability to adjust aeration based on real-time needs.

• Sustainability: The energy savings directly contribute to lower CO2 emissions, making the facility more environmentally friendly and in line with global sustainability goals.

The Upgrade Process: Seamless Transition

The transition from the old Roots blowers to the new RAETTS system was completed smoothly by our expert engineering team. This seamless installation process minimized downtime, ensuring the mill’s operations were not disrupted. The client was able to start benefiting from energy savings and improved performance almost immediately after the upgrade.
