Problem: The exisiting crane hoist control system in a finishing department at one of the world's largest steel manufacturing companies was based on older technology and could achieve greater energy efficiency with a more modern solution.
WESCO Solution: WESCO conducted an energy-saving audit and recommended replacing the old control system for the 200HP Hoist #5 with an EATON Cutler-Hammer Respondor DDC. The new control unit cost $65,000 but offers annual energy savings of $65,000 for an ROI within 1.05 years.
