Abstract

This study in pharmaceutical packaging manufacturing focuses on improving compressed air efficiency through targeted strategies at both the source and user levels by establishing a baseline to analyze energy consumption patterns. Key measures, including minimizing air leaks, adjusting pressure, and optimizing compressor performance, aim to achieve a 20-50% increase in efficiency, thereby supporting environmental sustainability. The User Point and Source Point approaches are expected to lower Specific Power Consumption (SPC), with data collected from December 2020 to May 2022 providing insights into potential energy savings. Establishing this baseline, based on machine runtime and productivity, offers a solid foundation for evaluation. Results show a 23% reduction in compressor electricity usage and a 7-8% decrease in compressed air consumption. A structured improvement process and strong collaboration between engineering and management are essential for enhancing productivity and achieving sustainable energy efficiency in the industrial sector.
