Cost reductions in pneumatics
September 1st 2006

Do you used compressed air? If the answer is yes, then you may be interested in reducing your energy costs and protecting the environment with ifm's efector metris. Compressed air is expensive 1kW of work from compressed air costs eight to ten times as much as 1kW of electricity.

Not only are we all encouraged to do our bit for the environment but, following Kyoto, with the UK Climate Levy imposing a 15% surcharge (pollution tax) on energy bills for industry, we are paying for it too. Ifm electronic's efector metris will monitor consumption and detect leaks and is available in different standard pipe sizes.
