go green - Technology transition

In order to improve competitiveness in times of rising energy costs, energy efficiency is an important key to success. Efficient electric drives make a decisive contribution to reducing energy consumption in production and achieving sustainability targets. There are many reasons for switching technology from hydraulic and pneumatic to electromechanical drive systems.

Ecological advantages

Electric drives are energy-efficient, clean, quiet & sustainable.

Technological advantages

Electric drives are flexible, programmable, dynamic, precise and safe.

Economic advantages

Electric drives lead to higher productivity and quality and are also cheaper to operate and maintain. Energy-efficient operation has a very positive…

AktuatorWatt Funding Program: Electric Instead of Pneumatic

With EBP’s AktuatorWatt grant program—supported by ProKilowatt from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy—the switch from pneumatic to electric systems is now eligible for additional funding. As an accredited partner of EBP, Parkem handles all the paperwork—from project calculations and the application process to approval and disbursement.

Funding of up to 30% of investment costs (max. 90,000 CHF)

More and more companies are becoming aware of the importance of conserving resources. Parkem helps its customers to do this:

Manufacturing processes often require too much energy. We electrify hydraulic & pneumatic movements for maximum efficiency.
In general, efficient electrical systems such as controlled servo drives are used.
These drives are correctly calculated and not oversized.
All drives are operated in a controlled manner so that only the energy directly required is consumed.
During commissioning, all drives are optimally adjusted and optimized for the application.
Sustainable repair is possible for drives that are up to 30 years old, but modern drives work more efficiently than old ones!

We are also constantly striving to become more sustainable. It's often the little things that help!
