Making Energy Efficiency Flow.

Control Panels & Systems.

Ageing switchgear and control systems waste as much energy through heat
as the inefficient motors and fans connected to them. As control systems age,
switchgear becomes worn and operation becomes sluggish. Add to this component
failure and the aggravation of breakdowns and you have a recipe for trouble.

At Gemtech we can supply and install modern control panels and systems to alleviate
the problems associated with ageing systems. Modern controls are far more energy
efficient, versatile, and can be tailored to your vision or requirements. Modern variable
speed drives and motors will help your pocket too.

Return on investment can be relatively quick and lifetime costs reduced as motors can be
run at reduced speeds to reduce wear and controls are now more solid state so less moving
parts to wear out. Level controls such as ultrasonic transmitters and radar provide an accurate
representation of chamber level in pumping stations and eliminate the problems associated
with traditional float switch controls, a common cause of breakdowns.

On water booster systems, traditional pressure switches become sluggish and are prone to failure.
Modern pressure transmitters especially combined with variable speed drives can provide significant
energy and lifetime cost savings.

Retrofitting is always possible but as always, caution must be taken when retrofitting to older systems.
Some older pumps and motors are not compatible with modern variable speed drives for example as the
motors are wound differently and have different insulation properties. Equally, some systems will run at
full demand most of the time, rendering variable speed drives uneconomical to install with little return on
investment. We have been called to many sites where with the best intentions the client has installed
energy efficient controls but have been ill advised and the system is of little or no benefit.

Gemtech are also able to supply, install and repair most types of golf course or water irrigation systems.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements. We can visit your site(s) and assess your systems and
advise you accordingly. Equally, if you have a project in mind please get in touch and we will do our best
to help find a solution.
