Energy-saving and cost-cutting
ECO fuel extraction system - robust and reliable
Thanks to a low drive output of just 0.18 kW (0.30–0.38 kW for 70–330 kW boilers) and a robust, high-efficiency spur gear, the fuel extraction system saves a huge amount of energy and therefore lowers electricity costs. You can save as much as 67% in electricity costs compared to those for conventional fuel extraction systems. With the excellent gear efficiency of over 90%, it clearly outperforms conventional worm gears. The new modular design ensures that the auger, along with its trough and removable cover, is easy to use.
