Wonder Cement, one of the leading cement manufacturing companies in India, installed ABB’s ACS880-based SPRS solution for saving energy, at its manufacturing plant in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. The plant has three production lines, with a capacity of producing 8 Million Tons Per Annum (MTPA) of clinker.
The cement manufacturing process is complex, and companies usually opt for big slip ring induction motors to get high starting torque and to meet process requirements. The traditional method uses external rotor resistors and leads to heavy energy loss in the form of resistive heat dissipation.
ABB’s ACS880 based SPRS solution plays a very important role in controlling the speed of slip ring motors and helps in achieving significant energy savings. The built-in energy calculators including used and saved kilowatt-hours, CO2 reduction, and money saved, help the customer to optimize manufacturing processes to ensure efficient energy use. The energy optimizer mode ensures maximum torque per ampere, reducing energy drawn from the supply.
“This project is indeed a great example of how we are one of the most trusted partners for customers when it comes to energy efficiency. From the cement sector to food & beverages, and pharmaceuticals, we have constantly promoted technologies that help in driving our carbon-neutral future. Our solutions are helping businesses across India to cut energy expenses and decarbonize their operations,” said Sanjeev Arora, President, Motion Business Area, ABB India.
With the help of SPRS, Wonder Cement saved 1.8 GWh – 2.0 GWh energy annually, which is equivalent to the energy consumed by over 9,000 houses per month.
Shares of the company gained Rs 18.10 or 0.85%, to trade at Rs 2,151.15. The total volume of shares traded was 5,763 at the BSE (2.29 p.m, Monday).
