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.

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.

By contrast, QUANTM's electric diaphragm technology operates at up to 80% efficiency, providing immediate energy savings as well as improved operational efficiencies.

The results were immediate and scalable for our customer – resulting in annual energy savings of close to £1million across 11 UK manufacturing sites.
