Reduce Motor Running Costs By Up To 40%

Motors are often the single biggest line item on an industrial energy bill, and businesses rarely realise quite how big until they look closely. Across manufacturing sites, motors can account for around half of total energy spend, and in some processes it runs a lot higher than that. A sugar mill, for example, can see motor running costs make up more than 80% of its total energy use.

Integra from Suresense is built to bring that cost down directly. It works by continuously measuring how hard a motor is actually working and adjusting the power it draws to match, rather than letting it run at a fixed, worst-case output regardless of the task. Over a working day, that adds up to a substantial reduction in wasted electricity, particularly on motors that spend a lot of time running under partial load.

Savings typically fall somewhere between 10% and 40%, and the exact figure depends heavily on how variable the load cycle is. A motor running a steady, near-constant load will see a smaller benefit than one cycling through peaks and troughs throughout the day.

Suresense designs and manufactures Integra in the UK, and the controller is fitted without changing how the motor itself operates or the process it's running.
