Energy Saving and CO₂ Reduction in Manufacturing – Benefits of Introducing CHIKO compact Dust Extractors
In today’s manufacturing environment, increased CO₂ emissions and rising electricity costs have become major challenges. CO₂ emissions not only accelerate global warming but also trigger climate change, making it more difficult to achieve a sustainable society. At the same time, higher energy costs directly drive up production costs and reduce competitiveness, with particularly severe impacts on energy-intensive industries.
Implementing energy-saving measures is therefore essential. By improving energy efficiency and eliminating unnecessary energy consumption, companies can reduce CO₂ emissions while lowering electricity expenses. This article introduces a practical solution that addresses both challenges—replacing traditional dust collection methods with compact fine dust collectors.
Conventional pneumatic dust collectors require large volumes of compressed air, which increases the power consumption of air compressors and leads to higher electricity bills. When other processes simultaneously demand compressed air, suction power may become unstable, and noise levels may rise.
Solution: Use a fine dust collector.
The following is a simulation comparison:
| Equipment | Airflow | Required Equipment | Measured Power Consumption | Operating Rate | Annual Power Consumption |
| Pneumatic dust collector | 3.3 m³/min | 10HP(7.5kW) Air Compressor | 5.6 kW/h | 50% | 10,752 kW |
| CHIKO dust extractor* | 4.2 m³/min | — | 0.6 kW/h | 100% | 2,304 kW |
Calculation conditions: 16 hours/day × 20 days/month × 12 months = 3,840 hours/year.
Electricity cost savings (Industrial electricity rate: NT$4/kWh): 4 × (10,752 − 2,304) = NT$33,792 saved annually
| When using vacuum cleaners to remove debris from workpieces, several issues often occur: 1. High power consumption, resulting in high electricity costs. 2. Not designed for continuous operation—frequent stoppages and breakdowns lead to higher operating costs. 3. High noise levels, creating a poor work environment. |
| Advantages of switching to a high-pressure fine dust collector: 1. Lower rated power consumption and reduced noise. 2. Capable of 24-hour continuous operation without interruption. 3. Suitable not only for localized dust collection but also for cleanroom applications. |
| Example - Dashboards cleaning | Example - Rubbed in dust removal | Example - PET bottle air blower |
