1.8 COST SAVING
Esco uses the permanently lubricated direct drive centrifugal blowers which employ an energy-efficient
external rotor type design. This helps Esco cabinets deliver excellent performance while keeping the
operating cost low at the same time.

Before being shipped, each individual unit is extensively tested for performance and safety and delivered
with a detailed test report and certificate of performance. Testing performed at our factory laboratory
includes:
•
Operator comfort tests: noise, light, vibration

local, regional and international scopes. In particular, testing in our laboratory is most frequently
conducted based on:
