In the current era of upgrading and transformation of the manufacturing industry, compressed air is the “fourth largest industrial power”, and its energy consumption has long occupied an important position in corporate operating costs.
A large number of industrial enterprises face the pressure of high energy consumption in air compressor operation and high electricity costs. At the same time, they also have to deal with multiple challenges such as unstable air supply caused by pressure fluctuations, frequent shutdowns due to aging equipment, and energy waste caused by pipeline leaks.
The more critical restriction lies in the fact that many companies clearly understand the need for energy-saving renovation, but are stuck in a wait-and-see state due to initial capital investment pressure.
This dilemma is particularly prominent in high-energy-consuming industries such as new energy, lithium batteries, and electronic manufacturing.
How to improve the energy efficiency of compressed air systems without increasing the financial burden on enterprises?
Suzhou Qiankun Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. has explored a feasible path through more than ten years of industry practice.
The EMC contract energy management service launched by Qiankun Machinery is essentially a risk-sharing business model innovation.
Enterprises do not need to pay upfront renovation costs, and all funds for equipment upgrades and system optimization are advanced by the service provider.
After the project is put into operation, the project expenses will be paid in installments through the saved electricity expenses, truly realizing “exchanging future income for current upgrades”.
This model transforms energy-saving renovation from “cost expenditure” to “benefit sharing”.
For manufacturing companies that need to control capital expenditures, they can not only obtain professional technical empowerment, but also maintain healthy cash flow, forming a win-win situation.
Qiankun Machinery’s energy-saving transformation is not a simple equipment replacement, but a system engineering based on diagnosis.
Through performance testing and grade assessment of the energy-using system, weak links in energy consumption are identified; combined with waste heat recovery technology, the heat energy generated during the operation of the air compressor is converted into heat for production or domestic use; and with the intelligent joint control platform, remote monitoring and load adaptive adjustment of the air compressor station are realized.
This combination of renovation solutions helps customers reduce energy consumption by 15%-30%.
The air compressor series products provided by Qiankun Machinery adopt IE5 permanent magnet variable frequency motors and intelligent joint control technology, which can automatically adjust the frequency according to the actual air consumption and reduce no-load energy consumption.
Compared with traditional power frequency models, this type of equipment can achieve comprehensive energy savings of 15%-35%.
For different cleanliness requirements, companies can choose micro-oil, oil-free or centrifugal compression solutions; for vacuum systems, they are equipped with oil screw, dry and magnetic levitation vacuum pumps to ensure vacuum stability under high-frequency continuous operation.
Equipment supply is the starting point of service.
Qiankun Machinery has established an operation and maintenance team consisting of 30 professional installation technicians and 10 overhaul technicians, of which over 40% are engineers with more than 10 years of experience.
The company provides 24-hour mobile services, 24-hour door-to-door service for domestic projects, and responds to emergency failures within 30 minutes, effectively preventing economic losses caused by sudden shutdowns.
From skid-mounted integration business to improve on-site installation efficiency, to pipeline leakage detection to reduce waste in transportation links, to compressed air quality testing to ensure production cleanliness, this closed-loop service covering design, installation, operation and maintenance, and overhaul reduces the time cost of customers coordinating multiple suppliers.
For overseas projects, Qiankun Machinery also provides general contracting services for equipment export, customs declaration, inspection and on-site installation and commissioning.
As a long-term authorized dealer of Ingersoll Rand and a high-tech enterprise, Qiankun Machinery has served more than 350 customers, of which customers in the new energy and manufacturing fields account for more than 60%.
In the field of lithium batteries, it provides compressed air system solutions for Chuzhou Lishen New Energy, Lanjun New Energy, Jiangsu Dangsheng Material Technology, Zhejiang Guanyu Battery and other companies; in the field of electronic manufacturing, it serves customers such as Shennan Circuit, Shanghai Liyang Chip, and Anjieli Electronic Technology (Suzhou); it has mature application cases in chemical hazardous waste treatment, food and medicine, magnetic materials and other industries.
These projects start transformation through EMC mode, replace old units with high-efficiency equipment, and cooperate with intelligent control systems and waste heat recovery to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption and improvement in gas supply stability without increasing financial pressure on the company.
Qiankun Machinery’s business layout has covered the country and the world.
As a member of the Contract Energy Management Professional Committee and a governing unit of the Guangdong Battery Industry Association, the company has deeply combined the EMC model with compressed air system technology to provide a feasible energy-saving path for industrial enterprises.
Driven by the dual goals of carbon neutrality and cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the manufacturing industry, energy-saving renovation of air compressors is no longer an option, but a must-answer.
Through its zero-investment EMC model, systematic technical solutions, and quick-response operation and maintenance system, Qiankun Machinery is helping more companies solve energy consumption problems and promote the evolution of industrial fluid systems toward high efficiency, intelligence, and low carbon.
