Sustainability in automation

Schmalz compact ejectors SCPSC, and SCPSi leading the way in intelligent design

- 

In an era where sustainability is a global priority, industries are tasked with balancing operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. This challenge is particularly evident in manufacturing, where resource-intensive processes, such as the use of compressed air in automation, contribute significantly to energy consumption. Optimizing these processes is essential to reduce environmental impact and achieve long-term cost savings. Schmalz has addressed this need by developing a series of compact ejectors SCPSC and SCPSi that combine cutting-edge technology with resource efficiency.

Sustainability as a design principle

Compressed air, though indispensable in vacuum systems, is often one of the most energy-intensive resources in automated operations. Recognizing this, Schmalz has embedded air-saving technology into its ejector designs. This innovation optimizes air usage, significantly reducing compressed air consumption by up to 80% compared to conventional systems. Beyond energy savings, this reduction translates into lower greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the global push toward sustainable manufacturing. Moreover, the SCPSC and SCPSi models incorporate durable materials and robust designs that extend their operational life. This minimizes the frequency of replacements and reduces material waste, further contributing to sustainability goals.
