EcoConcept
Sustainable Storage Solutions
Advanced energy-efficient storage technology for environmental protection
The effective energy consumption of automated material and file handling systems has a major impact on operating costs, amortization and, critically, on environmental protection. For this reason, we have always placed great emphasis on continually optimizing the energy efficiency of our storage systems. This brings our customers many benefits, both from an economic and an ecological perspective! Under the heading Hänel EcoConcept, we constantly develop components that contribute to improving energy efficiency - a system with the future in mind. The Hänel Lean-Lift® is specifically designed for vertical storage with energy recovery capabilities.
EcoMode®
Intelligent energy management solutions
- EcoMode® level 1: TFT display backlight turns off
- EcoMode® level 2: Electrical control system components turn off
- EcoMode® level 3: Storage system lighting automatically dims
- EcoMode® level 4: Complete system shutdown via main switch
Hänel EcoMode® gradually switches off idle systems in four energy-saving stages, minimizing consumption when not in use. Time intervals can be programmed to match individual requirements.
EcoDrive®
Efficient energy recovery - Depending on the traversing rate, up to 40% of the energy can be returned to the power supply network!
The Hänel Lean-Lift® stores items in height-optimized positions for compact storage and energy savings. Hänel EcoDrive® uses frequency converters developed exclusively for vertical storage systems by Hänel and Mitsubishi. <br> The system transforms kinetic energy from the descending extractor into electrical energy instead of losing it as heat. This recovered energy feeds back into the power supply and can power other Hänel Lean-Lift® devices in the system. Depending on extractor travel rate, up to 40% of the energy required for upward movement can be recovered. Hänel was the first manufacturer worldwide to integrate energy recovery as a series feature! <br> EcoDrive® improves your energy footprint and considerably reduces CO2 emissions!
