Key Drivers for Pneumatic System Efficiency

  • Jul 15, 2024, 12:36 PM

Reducing operational costs and environmental impacts are among the drivers for development of more efficient pneumatic systems. The latter has become an increasingly larger focus for many manufacturers in recent years. 

According to Jon Jensen, CFPPS, CFPECS & CFPAI, Industry Projects Manager - Energy, SMC Corporation of America (no relation to author), compressed air is a good target for reducing the environmental footprint of an operation. He said about 20% of the electrical power consumed in a factory goes to compressing air. "There's plenty of room for improvement," of pneumatic systems he said. 

There are various methods which can be used to improve the efficiency of pneumatic systems, including the creation of smarter systems. Interest in these systems is increasing, particularly when building new manufacturing facilities as many companies have become more focused on total cost of ownership but there is still work to be done regarding uptake of smart systems which can help better manage the efficiency of pneumatics. 

In this discussion with Power & Motion, Jensen provides his thoughts on the technologies available to improve pneumatic system efficiency as well as future developments and industry initiatives that will enable additional efficiency gains.
