As part of Nuaire’s continuing commitment to the environment, we have recently invested in a Safan Pressbrake machine which will allow us to reduce our power consumption.

The new Safan will replace the small PromeCam which is no longer meeting Nuaire’s requirements. The Safan will enhance the sheet metal manual bending cell offering increased flexibility and security.

In addition the Safan eliminates the need for hydraulic rams and a crowning table, incorporating the use of belts and pulleys to equally exert force across the bend of the machine. Removing the conventional method of providing a bending force gains considerable energy savings because the main drive motor is only used when the upper beam is moving, this is contrast to a conventional hydraulic driven pressbrake where the pumps are constantly running.

If the machine is purchased with hydraulic clamping, only a small proportion of hydraulic oil is required to run the machine compared to the usage of a conventional press brake machine, therefore reducing oil consumption and the amount of oil being stored on site.

The introduction of the first servomotor driven pressbrake into Wales is an exciting opportunity for Nuaire and underlines our commitment to reducing our effect on the environment.
