Case Study: Günther Maschinenbau achieves 25% energy savings with Eaton PowerXL DC1 drives

Günther Maschinenbau - Customer Case Study

Günther Maschinenbau, a manufacturer of machinery for the food industry, sought to increase the efficiency and automation of its pickling injectors for small to medium-sized butcheries. Their challenge was to move away from an inefficient mechanical pressure control system that wasted energy and to offer a more advanced, energy-efficient machine design. They turned to vendor Eaton for a solution using its PowerXL DC1 variable frequency drives.

Eaton's solution involved implementing its compact PowerXL DC1 variable frequency drives to precisely control the pump's injection pressure and the stroke movement of the needles. This allowed Günther Maschinenbau to achieve energy savings of at least 25%, reduce installation and maintenance effort, and increase the machine's functionality with variable speed control. The results provided their end-users with a faster process and a longer machine lifespan, giving Günther Maschinenbau a competitive edge in the market.
