Variable cooling zone control

Adaptive process control for energy-efficient cooling in thermal production processes

Challenge in the standard process: energy wastage due to rigid conveyor logic

Cooling zones are indispensable in many thermal production lines – for example in the automotive or surface finishing industries. However, these are often inefficient in conventional systems: they operate at a constant air volume and temperature, regardless of the load. This leads to unnecessarily high energy consumption and rising operating costs.

The solution: Variably controlled cooling zones with dynamic cycle and conveyor logic

The intelligent control of cycle times and conveyor speed allows energy consumption to be reduced in a targeted manner – without compromising process quality. The cooling time becomes an active lever for energy efficiency.

Bei Teilauslastung: verlängerte Kühlzeit durch angepasste Geschwindigkeit
Höhere Zulufttemperaturen: weniger Bedarf an starker Luftkonditionierung
Reduzierter Volumenstrom: Lüfter drosseln automatisch
Gesteigerte Nutzung von Außen- und Hallenluft
