2. Amount of energy consumed
The size of the energy cost depends on the agitation solution adopted, the relative value of the energy, the price of the mixed products and the investment.
The price of mixed products is deliberately not included. This is because, on the one hand, the cost of energy can play a highly variable role (the price of energy is often neglected in the production cost of pharmaceutical products), and on the other hand, depending on the product manufacturing process, the "mixing" operation only requires 1 × 10 -5 to 3 × 10 -3 kW per kilogram processed, whereas a possible product drying phase will require around 1 kW/kg. It's easy to see why the cost of agitation energy is of little interest.
However, in absolute terms, the annual savings generated by an optimized...
