Energy consumption in powder coating systems results largely from the suction in the booth, piping and recovery system. The fan motor in the final filter, which can reach outputs of over 30 kW depending on the size of the system, plays a decisive role. This is precisely where the EEP comes in, which WAGNER developed several years ago and which is now more important than ever: With special air guidance and optimized components that significantly reduce energy requirements.
Less resistance, more power
At the heart of the concept is the specially developed EEP monocyclone. It separates the powder-air mixture, directs the exhaust air to the final filter and leads the powder back to the guns. Its flow-optimized design results in significantly lower pressure losses than with conventional systems. As a result, the final filter requires a smaller fan motor. Up to 40 percent less power consumption is possible without sacrificing suction performance.
The flow-optimized monocyclone also improves powder recovery: the separation efficiency is increased by one to two percent, which means that more powder can be recovered and saved.
The specially shaped pipe between the booth and monocyclone also helps to minimize the pressure loss in the system. The special shape, which differs from conventional piping on the market, significantly reduces powder deposits and powder wear. This protects the powder, improves the recovery quality and ensures a stable, clean color change process. Manual cleaning of the monocyclone interior during color change is generally no longer necessary, which further shortens the color change process.
Even more economical with EEP Plus
If you want to get even more out of the system, you can choose the optional EEP Plus extension. The system automatically detects when there are no components hanging on the conveyor - so-called hanging gaps - and then switches to ECO mode. During this time, the fan motor runs at a reduced speed, which further reduces energy consumption. As soon as components are detected again, the system starts up automatically. Depending on the production process, an additional 10 to 30 percent of energy can be saved in this way - without any intervention by the operating personnel.
Technology that pays for itself: With the Energy Efficiency Package and the EEP Plus extension, WAGNER offers a pioneering solution for energy-efficient powder coating. For system operators, this results in a clear economic advantage: the lower energy consumption noticeably and sustainably reduces ongoing operating costs - without compromising on process reliability or coating quality.
