Energy Savings with VFD Systems

Posted on October 5, 2010 by Administrator

Are you looking for big savings on energy and filter replacement? The Intelli-Touch control panel for use with Micro Air dust collection systems is truly a state of the art system enabling the dust collector to always operate at the designed CFM. It reduces energy consumption with a built-in variable frequency drive (VFD) that automatically controls motor RPM based on CFM needed at the running static pressure.

The Intelli-Touch also utilizes a soft start and ramp up of motor speed which eliminates sudden surges of power usage, further reducing energy requirements. All settings are controlled easily at the touchscreen. By operating at the exact specifications your application requires, there is no wasted horsepower, compressed air, or energy. It also allows for the maximum possible filter life, and built-in monitors give alerts for filter change-out.

The patent-pending control panel regulates airflow on an as-needed basis, providing dramatic energy savings, filter cleaning on demand reduces compressed air requirements and the capability of regulating airflow through branch pickups without the use of traditional blast gates and variable frequency drives.
