Reducing Energy Costs

CDR Pumps helped a national corrugated packaging manufacturer cut pumping energy costs by nearly £1million in a single year by replacing compressed air-driven pumps with high-efficiency electric QUANTM pumps across 11 manufacturing sites.

Rising energy costs and sustainability targets are forcing manufacturers to rethink how critical systems are powered. One of the biggest hidden energy drains is compressed air. Air-operated diaphragm pumps (AODDs) are commonly used across UK manufacturing sites due to their versatility and durability. However, their reliance on compressed air makes them inherently inefficient – typically operating at just 10–15% efficiency.

Switching to electric diaphragm technology delivered immediate and scalable benefits for our customer.
