Siemens
will also install high-efficiency SIMOTICS IE2 motors, and together they will
support optimization of the plant’s energy usage, increasing operational
efficiency by up to 10 percent. IE2 and IE3 are international standards for
high and premium efficiency motors in industrial operations.
“Pakistan
is one of the world’s largest producers of sugar, and the integration of IE3
motor technology is a milestone in supporting the industry to continue
competing on a global stage,” said Helmut von Struve, Managing Director of
Siemens in Pakistan.
“Highly-efficient
Siemens motor technology in the industrial sector is an important way to ensure
our customers’ infrastructure is operating at its most reliable, energy
efficient and cost effective. We’re proud to be the chosen technology partner
for the first installation of IE3 motors in Pakistan’s sugar industry.”
The
highly-efficient motors, which range from 30 kilowatts (kW) to 200 kW, will
reduce the amount of electricity used by the mill, which operates an
independent power plant. The electricity saved by the motors will be
contributed back to the national grid, increasing revenue and strengthening the
electricity supply.
Existing
Siemens motor technology at the plant has already enabled Faran Sugar Mills to
realize efficiency gains of two percent and cost reductions of between two and
three percent.
Electric
drives and motors consume up to 70 percent of the energy used in industrial
plants. Siemens premium-efficiency motors (IE3) are up to 10 percent more
efficient than conventional IE1 motors, making the analysis and modernization
of drive technology in a manufacturing facility a potential for significant cost-saving.
As part of its portfolio for process industry and drives
Siemens also has the world‘s first true one-stop solution for entire drive
trains. The Siemens Integrated Drive System integrates seamlessly in any drive
train and any automation environment, turning common components into drive
systems allowing easier diagnosis of potential errors, and a more flexible
approach to maintenance. The result is lower wear on machinery and ultimately
shorter time to market.
Siemens
recently announced the inauguration of a new service and repair center
in Karachi for generators and motors, extending the range of services offered
to cater for increasing customer demand in Pakistan. The company has
been a key provider of infrastructure solutions to Pakistan since 1947,
implementing technology for power generation, transmission and distribution,
industrial automation and solutions for innovative building management systems.
