The electricity used by compressors for air accounts for approximately
by the entire factory. Also, 70% of the air consumed in the process is used for air blowing. SMC
blow guns have minimal pressure loss compared with conventional models, so they can achieve
equivalent performance at lower pressures and with less volume of air consumption. As a result,
it is possible to achieve a

Energy Saving Pneumatic System Proposal Energy Saving Effects When the yearly total working hours spent on air blowing amounts to 8,300 hours, use of conventional models results in power consumption costs totaling 194,220 yen. When using the SMC system (Blow gun + S coupler + Coil tube), however, the yearly cost is reduced to 155,625 yen, for a total yearly saving of 38,595 yen, or 20% of the...
