MILTON KEYNES, England — Rockwell Automation announced that West Fraser has made significant gains towards stringent carbon-reduction and energy saving targets at its plant in Cowie, Scotland, thanks to its deployment of a complete Intelligent Packaged Power (IPP) solution. The IPP solution is deployed across three of the site’s energy-intensive fan applications. Used for raw material drying, end-product extraction, and material-condition-based rejection, more precise control of all three fans has resulted in West Fraser significantly cutting overall energy consumption. “We are now exactly where we need to be in terms of optimizing the speeds of our large process fans,” said Gordon McArthur, engineering manager at West Fraser’s Cowie plant.”
