Sustainability in Industry: The Impact of 4-Bar Operation

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and energy efficiency, companies are constantly looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their profitability. A key strategy to achieve this is to optimize compressed air systems by adjusting the operating pressure to 4 bar.


Operating at a lower pressure, such as 4 bar, offers multiple benefits. First, it significantly reduces energy consumption, as less energy is needed to compress the air. In addition, many tools and equipment operate efficiently at this pressure, which prolongs their service life and lowers maintenance costs. It also contributes to sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and improving working conditions by reducing noise in the workplace.


To ease the transition to this optimal pressure, SMC International Training offers the ENS-200 energy efficiency trainer. This training device enables users to learn and apply energy-saving concepts in compressed air installations. With the ENS-200, professionals can detect excess consumption and propose corrective actions, optimizing the design and operation of industrial machines.


At SMC, we are committed to sustainability and energy efficiency, helping companies to achieve their goals in a responsible and profitable way.
