Braeside, Victoria
The Problem
Around 15 years ago, Blackmores partnered with Quality Energy to install Power Factor Correction equipment, improving their energy efficiency and reducing unnecessary costs.
Six years later, Blackmores introduced a new production line capable of manufacturing over 40,000 vitamin tablets per hour. Ensuring a stable and high-quality power supply became critical, as any fluctuations could compromise the sensitive computer systems controlling their robotic processes.
However, with a significant number of variable speed drives operating on-site, power quality issues arose. To safeguard their operations, Blackmores turned to Quality Energy once again to monitor their main switchboards, diagnose the source of power disturbances, and deliver a tailored solution.
The Solution
Quality Energy delivered and installed 3 x Power Factor Correction units totalling 600kVAr that we still service and maintain today.
For the most recent issue, we analysed data from our monitors and determined a 400Amp Active Harmonic Filter was required to reduce Blackmore’s total harmonic distortion down to safe levels.
