Newly Weds Foods

About Newly Weds Foods

Originally established in Leeds, 1954, the current headquarters of Newly Weds Foods Limited at Ossett was built in 1989. The business of Newly Weds Foods Limited is to manufacture and market a range of coatings, seasoning and flavouring ingredients to the food industry. A market leader in food ingredients and food technology, they manufacture over 1,000 different ingredients which are then used in producing popular foods.

How powerPerfector were able to help Newly Weds Foods

After receiving the annual electricity consumption details for Newly Weds Foods, it was possible to give a provisional quote for a powerPerfector unit and to outline the potential for energy savings. A voltage logger was then sent for a little more than a week, which recorded the voltage level at the site by connecting it to a regular mains socket. It was found that the average voltage at the site was 248 volts (V), 18V higher than the nominal supply in the UK. After a survey of the site by a powerPerfector Approved Contractor, the installation took place on a Saturday. Analysis following the installation showed that there was an average reduction in kWh consumption of 15% attributable to the powerPerfector installation, equating to annual carbon dioxide emissions saving of 340,000kg.

Voltage Power Optimisation. The less obvious benefits

Reduced maintenance, longer life
All electrical equipment has an optimum voltage at which it works best. A powerPerfected supply delivers that optimum and reduces the strain on your electrical equipment, leaving it to work more reliably and for longer.

Better quality power supply
Some things you may have accepted for years, but product faults can turn out to be caused by a poor quality power supply. For instance, the life of incandescent light bulbs is almost doubled when the supply voltage is optimised. Now imagine that in relation to an IT network or an expensive piece of manufacturing equipment.

Missing the penalty kick
Power factor penalty charges – which are now uncapped in the UK – can be avoided if your power factor is above .95. If your power factor is at around 0.9 at the moment, powerPerfector could remove your exposure to these charges by improving the electrical efficiency of your site.

Lower harmonic distortion and reduced neutral currents
powerPerfectors are able to filter harmonics on the mains incomer. Harmonic distortion is on the increase and can lead to random failures of electronic equipment – particularly computers.

Protection
Common transients – very brief spikes in voltage from the grid – are eliminated by powerPerfector. Transients at this level can cause catastrophic damage to equipment, but smaller, more common transient events will also shorten the life expectancy of electrical equipment over time.
