Power & utilities machines, step by step
The machines are in the order they work in the process. Ask us about any of them: we check feasibility and the import rules before we quote.
Grid connection
Power from the grid is stepped down to the factory’s voltage and shared out safely to each section.
Transformer
Steps grid voltage down to the voltage the factory uses, in an oil-filled or dry-type unit.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineSwitchgear and distribution panels
Cabinets of breakers, meters and protection that switch power on and off safely and share it out to each section.

Backup and captive power
Generators keep the lines running during outages, and some factories make most of their own power.
Diesel or gas generator
An engine coupled to an alternator that makes power during outages, or runs the factory on its own.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineRooftop solar system
Solar panels on the factory roof, with inverters that feed daytime power into the factory supply.

Power quality
Correcting the power factor and smoothing the voltage protects machines and can lower the electricity bill.
Power factor correction panel
Capacitor banks switched in steps to correct the power factor, which cuts wasted current and can lower the electricity bill.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineVoltage stabiliser
Holds the supply voltage steady when the grid rises or dips, protecting sensitive machines.

Steam
Boilers make steam for dyeing, cooking, drying and heating, and need soft, treated water to last.
Steam boiler
A fired pressure vessel that makes steam for dyeing, cooking, drying and heating across the factory.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineWater softener
Resin beds that take the hardness out of feed water, so scale does not build up inside boilers and pipes.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machine
Compressed air
Compressed air drives tools, valves and packing machines, and is dried so moisture does not reach them.
Air compressor
A screw or piston compressor that supplies compressed air for tools, valves, cylinders and packing machines.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineAir dryer
Takes the moisture out of compressed air by cooling or adsorbing it, so water does not reach the machines it drives.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machine
Cooling
Chilled water cools machines, moulds and process rooms, and cooling towers carry the heat away.
Water chiller
A refrigeration unit that chills water for process cooling and for air conditioning across the factory.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineCooling tower
Sprays warm water over fill packs while fans pull air through, carrying the heat away by evaporation.
