SinuMEC Case Studies

Energy Savings in a Granulator at a Carton Factory

This case study explores the installation of the sinusoidal multifunctional motor efficiency controller (SinuMEC) in a granulator at a packaging factory. Benefits include improved motor startup, reduced maintenance costs, reduction of electrical consumption, filtration of harmonics and improvement of power factor.

Energy Savings at Plastic Factory

This case study explores the installation of energy saving apparatus (SinuMEC) in a granulator at a co-extruded and thermoformed thermoplastic factory. Benefits include reduction of operational costs by € 1,263 ($1,894) to € 2,849 ($4,273) per year, return on investment of 8 to 18 months and limiting startup current to 1.2 times the nominal. Following the success of this installation, SinuMEC became the standard for energy savings devices in the factory.

Energy Savings in Quarry & Mining

This case study presents measurements and explains the results of a field test conducted with the advanced Motor Energy Controller (MEC) developed by PowerSines. The MEC 20HP/15KW model was installed at the Vered Quarry in Israel to control an inductive electric motor of 20HP (15 KW/30A) which operates a conveyer.

Energy Savings in Escalator

This case study explores the installation of energy saving apparatus in escalators at the Tel Aviv central bus station. Benefits include reduction of operational costs by 23% - 26% and a return on investment of around two years.

Energy Savings in Cement Factory

This case study explores the installation of energy saving apparatus in a bucket elevator at one of the world’s largest cement companies’ plants. Benefits include reduction of operational costs by €1,242 to €1,797 per year and a return on investment of 15 to 24 months.
