USING THE RIGHT SIZE DIESEL GENERATOR
Next Article
The use of a diesel generator in a brick-making plant is essential to ensure a sustainable and efficient power output. The correct size generator must be selected in order to meet the power requirements of the plant, as well as ensure a safe and reliable operation.
The power output needed will depend on the size of the plant, the number of machines and equipment in use, and the overall energy consumption of the facility. A generator that is too small will not be able to provide the necessary power, leading to downtime and decreased productivity. On the other hand, a generator that is too large will result in unnecessary costs and wasted energy.
Other important factors to consider when selecting a diesel generator include the fuel consumption, noise level and overall emissions. A generator that is fuel-efficient and has low emissions will help to reduce costs and minimise the environmental impact of the brick-making plant. The noise level can have an impact on the working environment and the surrounding community.
It is also important to consider the overall lifespan of the diesel generator and the cost of maintenance. A generator that is well- maintained and has a longer lifespan will be more cost-effective in the long run. This will also decrease the number of maintenance and repair costs.
Revaro silent-type diesel generators have all these benefits and more. The enclosed casing reduces noise. From 30-400kVA, the reliable Ricardo engine keeps smaller brick machines and plants running, while from 500-2 500kVA, the powerful and trusted Cummins engine will ensure that productivity of medium to large brick-making plants do not miss a beat.
Below are a few guidelines of the power output needed for Revaro brick-making machines.
Revaro REL range egg-layers do not require power, as they are either manual or come with a diesel motor. A single-phase electric motor option is available as well.
RS range ± 75kVA (75-100kVa)
RE medium range ± 200kVA (200-400kVa)
RE large range ± 500kva (500-1 000kVa)
