If any company uses a large amount of electricity and wants to reduce costs and support the environment, I would recommend a Voltage Optimiser with Powerdown220.

Eliminating Electricity Overspend in the Plastic Industry with Voltage Optimisation
Get a savings estimateMitchells & Butlers Achieve UK’s Largest Voltage Optimisation Rollout
Get a savings estimateVoltage Optimisation (VO) has been used extensively in the plastics and injection moulding industry for many years to reduce energy costs on-site. Because of high energy consumption requirements and rising energy costs, VO is quickly becoming one of the most popular energy savings technologies, with many plastic and injection moulding companies approaching Powerdown220 to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Whilst there is a difference in savings across all electrical equipment in the plastics industry based on its voltage dependency, VO tends to make consistently high savings on equipment such as motors found in all types of air compressors, extraction and chopper fans, vacuum pumps industrial automated assembly lines, as well as material handling and packaging conveyors.
Whilst VO does not make a saving on LED lighting for example, it does help to protect the equipment and make it last longer, with an increase in the equipment lifespan of up to 46%, as stated by (UK wiring regs BS7671).
Calculating savings for VO is a fairly straightforward process, our technical team completes a full on-site technical survey, to confirm the exact savings made at any particular site.
Once we complete a technical survey we can offer a full savings guarantee, meaning if we don’t deliver the savings promised, we will remove the equipment and offer a full refund.

Kinnerton Confectionery Cuts Costs with Voltage Optimisation
Get a savings estimateGuaranteed Energy Savings Against Rising Energy Prices
- Fischbach, an injection moulding market leader in the supply of cartridges, nozzles and plunger systems for the sealants and adhesives industry, faced a huge increase in their kwh rate from their energy supplier, with their annual costs increasing owing to the energy crisis. They turned to voltage optimisation to protect their business from spiraling energy cost rises and benefit from its fast payback and stable long-term results.
- Following a full technical survey, we pledged that the Voltage Optimiser would deliver a minimum saving of 7.22%, which was further underpinned by the Powerdown220 Savings Guarantee. With these figures in mind, they were able to budget and plan, helping to protect against their increase in energy costs.
A Stable Power Supply and a 163-tonne Reduction in Carbon
- In addition, Fischbach is also benefiting from a more stable power supply on-site, with their equipment only drawing the energy that it needs to run at its optimal level, rather than having to work harder due to excess energy from the grid.
- As a result, the voltage optimiser will help increase the lifespan of the equipment and save on future expenditures by reducing ongoing maintenance and replacement costs across the site. The voltage optimiser has also reduced Fischbach’s carbon footprint by 163 tonnes of harmful carbon emissions a year

I didn’t realise beforehand that this would be the biggest project of its kind in the UK, but that fact puts it all into perspective. Powerdown had a really robust plan to deliver over 1100 Mitchell & Butlers sites across the country.
Dale Fenton
Energy Manager · Mitchell & Butlers
When I looked into the technology, it was a no-brainer. It offered a quick return on investment with continued savings going forward and completely fitted with our environmental strategy.
