EC motors reduce energy consumption for egg producer

WEG HAS SUPPLIED A BRAZILIAN egg producer with 30 motors from the W30 Smart EC line, as part of a project focused on energy efficiency and improving thermal comfort in its poultry houses. The replacement of old, low-efficiency equipment was carried out with motors featuring integrated drives. After a few months of operation, on-site measurements confirmed the effectiveness of the adopted solution: 48.6% energy savings.

In addition to energy savings, the solution also has a positive environmental impact, with an estimated reduction of 1 ton of CO2 per year. The implementation also led to improvements in water distribution, which became more uniform, expanding the coverage area and significantly reducing waste.

With intelligent control, the replacement directly impacts the wellbeing of the poultry, as the fans operate with automatic speed adjustment, reducing noise and maintaining thermal stability, an essential factor to ensure productivity in large-scale farms.

The W30 Smart EC line is a complete and versatile solution that stands out for its energy efficiency (IE5 level, above the standard requirement), compact design, easy installation, remote monitoring connectivity, built-in drive, and permanent magnets, which allow variable speed and guarantee airflow with energy savings. By eliminating the need for external inverters and simplifying the system, these motors provide technical and economic advantages, with excellent cost-effectiveness and a quick return on investment.
