Baldor’s Partnership with Jin Lian Yu

As a leading brand in the cable and wire sector in China, Jin Lian Yu sought to enhance its competitiveness by upgrading its energy consumption systems. In 2020, the company partnered with Baldor to optimize its air compressor system, vital for manufacturing processes. After evaluating energy consumption data and equipment performance, Jin Lian Yu selected Baldor’s reliable and energy-efficient air compressors to boost manufacturing efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Air compressors are a major energy consumer in industrial production, representing a significant portion of total energy usage. According to lifecycle cost theory, while the procurement cost of an air compressor accounts for only 10-15% of the overall cost, the energy cost can make up to 77% of total expenses. Recent energy-saving retrofitting has been driven by three main factors:

1. High Energy Consumption: Air compressor energy usage is disproportionately high compared to overall electricity consumption.
2. Instability in Compressed Air Supply: Pressure fluctuations and unstable air supply negatively impact the functioning of industrial equipment.
3. Expansion and System Upgrades: As production scales, companies must upgrade existing compressed air systems to meet growing demands.

In the cable industry, air compressors are used in:

• Material transportation
• Pneumatic tools
• Extraction and brake valve operations
• Wire dust blowing
• Cold connection machine operations
• Cable packaging

The following key factors were considered when selecting the air compressor for Jin Lian Yu:

1. エネルギー効率: The old compressors were insufficient, prompting a search for more energy-efficient solutions.
2. Stable Air Supply: The compressor must operate smoothly, ensuring continuous production.
3. Simple Maintenance: Solutions that minimize downtime through low-maintenance design.
4. Thorough Evaluation: After comparing top brands, Baldor stood out with its superior energy efficiency, product quality, and after-sales service.
5. Rigorous Testing: Baldor compressors were tested for safety, ease of use, and performance reliability.

Baldor worked closely with Jin Lian Yu to design and implement a precise energy-saving solution tailored to their needs. By using Baldor’s Sky Series combined with refrigerated and adsorption dryers, Jin Lian Yu benefited from:
