Reduce your gas costs with Metris EcoDewat

In times of high energy and gas costs, solutions for saving energy, for example, in drying processes in nonwoven fabric production, are more in demand than ever.

Industrial dewatering is one of the most energy‑intensive steps in production—yet a significant part of this energy loss remains invisible. Over time, vacuum blowers naturally foul and lose performance, often without any clear warning signs. This leads to higher drying costs, reduced dryness, and unnecessary maintenance interventions.

ANDRITZ Metris EcoDewat tackles this challenge head‑on. As an advanced, automated process control solution, EcoDewat continuously monitors real-time dewatering data to detect hidden efficiency losses early. The system then recommends the optimal cleaning interval, ensuring that maintenance happens neither too early nor too late.

Why Metris EcoDewat makes a difference

Eliminates hidden energy losses by identifying progressive vacuum decline before production quality is affected.
Reduces drying costs, with energy savings of up to €30,000 per year thanks to optimized blower efficiency.
Increases transparency, offering full insight into equipment health through the intuitive EcoDewat dashboard and weekly analytical reports.
Supports smarter maintenance, helping avoid hardened deposits, excessive gas usage, and unplanned downtime.
Delivers a rapid return on investment, typically within just two months.

A real production case showed 46 mbar of lost vacuum, resulting in thousands of Euros per year in wasted gas, a clear demonstration of how invisible small losses can quickly become major cost drivers.

A Next‑Generation Digital Solution

Metris EcoDewat integrates field sensors, Metris intelligence, and automated optimization into a unified control system. Combined with the ANDRITZ router and secure Metris Cloud infrastructure, it provides a robust digital ecosystem for continuous performance improvement.

Key capabilities at a glance:

Efficiency Tracking: Real‑time visibility into blower performance and dryness trends
Energy Optimization: Lower gas consumption and more stable dewatering results
Proactive Maintenance: Smart scheduling based on actual equipment behavior

Metris EcoDewat offers a simple yet powerful way to stabilize your process, reduce costs, and unlock the full potential of your dewatering system. If you’d like this in a shorter email teaser or a brochure‑style version, I can prepare that as well.
