A Czech customer, an exclusive automotive supplier to well-known car brands, used vane motors for its paint line in the past. The 75 motors stir paint in 200-liter drums in continuous operation. With this amount of paint, it was only natural that the customer was concerned about profitability, energy consumption and costs. It quickly became clear that the customer needed to modernize its paint line. The vane motors, which had long since become technically outdated, had to make way for more innovative and effective alternatives. The customer found a worthy replacement in the economical and powerful radial piston motors from PTM mechatronics.

To prove his decision positively, he decided to compare the radial piston engine with the vane engine. Despite his high expectations, the results still surprised him. Our customer saved €221.791 in energy costs in the first year. He was using relatively low speeds of around 100 rpm. Calculated at 300 rpm, that would be a saving of €596.025 per year. The costs of the changeover were fully amortized within four months. Of course, he has not regretted this decision. And we are pleased to have another satisfied customer.
