BLUCHER reduce product factory energy consumption by 30%

A proud BLÜCHER production technology have been presented with a Watts Water Sustainability Award for Environmental Stewardship at a ceremony held at BLÜCHER. The award was won for an energy saving project carried out at BLÜCHER’s production facilities, which reduced energy consumption by 30% and emission of CO2 by 148 tons per year.

Replacement of the Ventilation System

We decided to upgrade the ventilation system for our production facilities in Vildbjerg, Denmark. The existing ventilation system needed major renovation, and because it consisted of several minor stand-alone parts added along with expansions of the production facilities, it did not operate as efficiently as desired.

In collaboration with external consultants, BLÜCHER’s production technology team decided on a project with a new energy-efficient ventilation system. It permits recycling of heat from the exhaust air and the recovery of 95% of exhaust ventilation air, as compared to about 30% with the old system.

Better Workplace Environment and Fewer CO2 Emissions

BLÜCHER’s employees benefit from the capacity of the new ventilation system, which at 70,000 m³ air per hour can renew the entire air volume in the factory 0.9 times per hour.

With the reduction of energy consumption by 30% and of CO2 emission by 148 tons per year, the new ventilation system significantly reduces the factories carbon footprint.
