Cardboard Balers in a Corrugated Sheet Plant Conveying System
The needs of this Corrugated Sheet plant would have required over 200 HP, but instead, it is using 15 HP in conveyors with a 30 HP baler.
This system, designed to convey balers, just started up at a corrugated sheet plant.
There are no fans conveying it by air. Two 5 HP slider bed conveyors bring the waste paper to the incline conveyor which delivers it to the baler.
Their other plant used blowers or fans that required over 200 HP. The electrical saving for the Air Systems Design (if the plant was to run 24/7) is $ 92,500.00 per year.
