Refuse Site Lamby Way
The refuse site at Lamby way in Cardiff as 4 hydraulic press balers which operate throughout the day. The Bollegraaf Baler idle while they are loaded, which provides an ideal opportunity for savings. Our engineers first logged the run profile of the baler then installed a our SC399 control to optimise the power flow to meet loading requirements. The overall saving across all 4 bailers was over £12,000 per year with no effect on operation.
“City of Cardiff Council (CCC) is using Re:fit in order to optimise the energy efficiency of certain properties, improve their building performance, reduce CO2 emissions and save money.
