Energy Efficient Fans

At BarkerBille, we are guided by two fundamental principles: unparalleled efficiency and steadfast reliability. Renowned globally for our cutting-edge technology, we specialize in crafting fans that not only deliver exceptional performance but also set energy-saving standards.

Driven by our dedication to sustainability, every BarkerBille fan is meticulously engineered to minimize energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions, empowering companies worldwide to make substantial savings without compromising on quality or performance. Leveraging our extensive expertise and state-of-the-art dimensioning software, we meticulously tailor each fan to the unique demands of its application, ensuring optimal efficiency and maximum reliability in every operation.

Discover the BarkerBille difference and join us in shaping a greener, more efficient future for industries across the globe.

Below, you’ll find a curated selection of our energy-efficient fans. However, rest assured that each fan in our lineup is meticulously designed to maximize energy efficiency.

60% Energy Savings with New BarkerBille Fans

BarkerBille was contacted by IFF, producer of products for the food industry, with a request to look at replacement of two old fans with new, more energy efficient ones. After a visit and some measurements at their production plant, it was evident that we could help them optimize their processing plant.

Before installing the BarkerBille fans on site, IFF’s annual energy consumption was 810,000 kWh. After the installations, this was reduced to 320,000 kWh, a decrease of over 60%.

The new fans are direct-driven, which is an optimization for IFF compared to the old belt-driven fans that use significantly more energy. The old, inefficient electric motors and dampers have also been replaced.

Another significant saving for IFF comes from using the installed frequency converters and control system, as the fan speed can be adjusted during idle operation. With the old fans, IFF had to run them at 50 Hz constantly, but they now expect to reduce that to approx. 15 Hz for 15% of the operating time.

Energy-Efficient, Climate-friendly Fans

We are committed to environmental awareness and recognizes the importance of sustainable business practices. Therefore, we have also declared commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 by looking at energy savings and low CO₂ emissions.

We always offer the best fan at the best price. But as an extra sustainable commitment, we will invest extra time in calculating and assessing whether there is a more climate-friendly choice of fan and let you know.

When operating costs are not a key factor, smaller, less energy-efficient fans are often chosen instead of larger, more energy-efficient fans. Together, we can try to change that.

High-Efficiency Fans for Boilers

These six high efficiency fans were designed and supplied by BarkerBille for two identical biomass boiler lines.

All six fans were equipped with Siemens synchronous reluctance IE4 motors as per customer request. The synchronous reluctance technology enables very high levels of efficiency at the rated operating point and under partial load, with both high-power density and high dynamic performance.

So, in addition to the high efficiency thanks to BarkerBille fan design, with this type of motor the fans achieve additional efficiency and sustainability with a reduced CO2 emissions.

The synchronous reluctance motors are more expensive than the traditional asynchronous, but the payback time is usually short – often less than one year. At the same time, the service life of these motors is often much longer as they do not overheat.
