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.

Voltage Optimisation Cuts Costs in the Machinery and Precision Engineering Industry
Get a savings estimateVoltage Optimisation (VO) has been used extensively in the manufacturing and precision engineering sectors 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 machinery manufacturing and precision engineering companies approaching Powerdown220 to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Whilst there is a difference in savings across all electrical equipment in the Mechanical and Precision Engineering Industry based on its voltage dependency, VO tends to make consistently high savings on equipment such as air compressors, extract & ventilation systems, coating and surface finishing plants, cooling and chiller plants, fluid and vacuum pumps, material handling equipment, traditional and CNC machinery etc.
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.
Energy Specialists Reduces Annual Energy Costs at Brother Industries by £41k
Get a savings estimateWe partnered with Brother Industries, based in Wrexham who have a dedicated manufacturing division that builds machines, parts and automation equipment.
They also have a department that produces machinery parts with CNC machines and 3D printers.
By installing a voltage optimiser, Brother not only boosted their bottom line but also reduced their annual carbon emissions by a remarkable 25 tonnes.
That’s equivalent to planting 775 trees.
Elsewhere, the company also made annual savings worth £41k and saw a return on investment within 18 months.

Huge Reductions in Annual Costs and Carbon Emissions for AIS due to Voltage Optimisation
Get a savings estimateGuaranteed Energy Savings
AIS is a global leader in the engineering, manufacture and application of insulation and passive fire protection systems, buoyancy, and SURF (subsea, umbilicals, risers and flowlines) products. They deliver mission-critical solutions for the energy, industrial, automotive, chemical, and marine sectors. With their annual costs increasing owing to the energy crisis. They turned to voltage optimisation to protect their business from energy cost rises and benefit from its fast payback and stable long-term results.
Following a full technical survey, we pledged that the Voltage Optimisers would deliver a minimum saving of 7.22% across three of their UK sites, 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 23-tonne Reduction in Carbon
- In addition, AIS 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 company. The voltage optimiser has also reduced their carbon footprint by 23 tonnes of harmful carbon emissions a year.

Interplex PMP Eliminate Overspending on Excess Voltage
Get a savings estimateImproving Operational Efficiency
- Interplex PMP based in Arbroath, Scotland a leading manufacturer of interconnect and mechanical products. They supply products to the mobility, medical, information, and communications industries. Their commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency led them to explore innovative solutions.
- Interplex PMP sought a solution to enhance their energy efficiency without compromising the productivity of their manufacturing processes. They aimed to implement sustainable measures that would contribute to their corporate social responsibility goals and reduce their carbon footprint.
- The PowerDown220 technical team conducted a comprehensive energy audit at Interplex PMP to assess the facility’s voltage profile and energy usage patterns. Based on the findings, a bespoke voltage optimisation solution was built and seamlessly integrated into the facility’s existing electrical operations. The installation process was executed with minimal disruption to ongoing operations

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.
