Presentation

Release the pressure: become a 4-bar factory

For most industrial plants, the typical operating pressure (or main compressed airline) is between 6 and 7 bar. The presentation will describe, with practical examples, how to maximize energy efficiency and cost savings by switching a factory to 4 bar. SMC's innovative program to reduce the system pressure will reward tire manufacturers – and their machine builders – with saved money and resources, as well as improved environmental impact.
