The customer wanted to test a further solution as part of a vast global efficiency project aimed at making the company a true international reference in the field for environmental sustainability, achieving “carbon neutrality”.

The company’s Head of Global Sustainability was looking for a new efficiency solution to be tested at one of the group’s various sites and then adopted as a standard in the event of positive measured results.

As part of an ambitious energy efficiency program aimed at obtaining carbon neutrality in its production chain, the Cornaglia Group wanted to test an innovative solution that would guarantee energy savings and improve power quality.

The company was looking for an energy efficiency solution that would also improve power quality and therefore contribute to the reduction of production downtime.

Given the company’s objectives in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, the customer wanted to test a new and effective solution for the efficiency of its production sites, which would allow a return on the investment in a sufficiently short time.

Operating in a typically energy-intensive sector and using extrusion systems very sensitive to the quality of the power supply, the customer was looking for a solution that, in addition to ensuring a certain energy saving, also improved power quality and therefore helped to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

The customer wanted to test a solution on the main plant that would simultaneously produce both energy savings and improved power quality in order to reduce the maintenance costs of production machinery.

At the beginning of 2021, the customer decided to proceed with the purchase of a first pilot machine for its main Italian production plant in the Veneto region. Given the results produced by this first Ep-X device, Forgital decided to extend the efficiency project to its other plants by installing additional EP-X devices.

In October 2015, the first 1600A EP device was installed in one of their plants. Over the following three months, two more 1000A devices and another 1600A device were installed on other lines in the same plant.
