Modern overhead conveyor technology from SCHÖNENBERGER is designed for maximum energy efficiency:

Energy-saving concepts:

• Frequency-controlled drives adapt power to actual demand
• Recuperative braking systems feed back energy on downhill gradients
• CPC Trolleyless systems with minimal energy consumption due to reduced rolling resistance
• Intelligent controls avoid idle operation
• Power & Free technology enables stowage without energy loss

Comparison with floor conveyors: Overhead conveyors typically require 30-40% less energy than comparable floor conveyors, as:

• Less moving mass (no heavy conveyor belts)
• Optimized routing with use of gravity
• No friction losses on floor surfaces

Amortization through energy savings typically takes place within 3-5 years.
