GREAT NEWS FOR YOUR ROI: ELECTRIC PUMP QUANTM IS IE5 CERTIFIED
What would be your main driver to swap out your air driven pumps with electric ones? For a lot of companies, it is to lower their electricity bill. If that is also your goal, then it is paramount that you opt for the most energy efficient electric pump out there. With QUANTM, you are making the right choice. Its electric motor has been certified as IE5, the highest level of energy efficiency. What exactly does that mean for your business case?
Electric pumping technology helps you reduce your energy usage. Here is how.
- Replacing your air-operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD) with electric operated double diaphragm (EODD) pumps, allows you to get rid of your energy consuming air compressor.
- Electric pumps are far more energy efficient than their air driven counterparts.
This results in a lower energy bill.
Save up to 80% energy
As you try to reduce your energy consumption, you want to make sure you are replacing your AODD’s with the most energy efficient EODD out there. QUANTM pumps cut your energy usage and costs by up to 80%.
Where does that number come from? From numerous calculations across different industries. Our distributors have carried out multiple integrations in which they replaced AODD’s with QUANTM. This has given us the opportunity to make one-to-one comparisons on a global scale for different applications.
We calculated the energy cost savings by comparing the air consumption of the AODD, multiplied with the price each company was paying per Nm³/h produced by their air compressor, with the kWh consumption of the newly installed QUANTM pump.
These calculations showed that an 80% energy saving is a realistic and achievable value, especially in pumping-intensive industries. Making QUANTM the most energy efficient pump we have ever made.
IE5: highest level of energy efficiency
The IEC is an independent organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. QUANTM’s motor has been tested according to their technical specification IEC TS 60034-30-2 and proven to meet IEC’s highest standard.
With energy efficiency classes ranging from IE1 (standard efficiency) to IE5 (ultra-premium efficiency) the IE5 class represents the pinnacle of energy efficiency for electric motors. QUANTM motors are placed in the ultra-premium class, surpassing the minimum IE3 standard set by the EU Ecodesign Regulation in July 2021.
What does this mean for your processes?
1. Accelerate your energy savings and sustainability goals
The motor's ultra-efficient design makes it a highly attractive option if you are committed to cost reduction and sustainability.
As renewable energy continues to grow as the fastest energy source globally, you need to align with this shift. QUANTM prepares your processes for a future where energy efficiency and sustainability will be paramount, both for operational success and for compliance with stricter environmental regulations.
The IE5 certification is more than just a technical specification. It is an indicator that QUANTM will help you meet regulatory requirements and improve relationships with environmentally conscious consumers and investors.

2. Unlock future savings with grants and incentives
In addition to energy savings, QUANTM’s IE5 classification makes it eligible for numerous government incentives aimed at promoting energy-efficient technologies allowing you to reduce your initial investment costs.
For instance, in Germany, the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control offers up to 25% in investment subsidies through module 1 of its support program. And an additional 15% through module 4 for energy optimization measures. Further, the BLE program offers grants of up to 30%.
These opportunities make QUANTM an even more cost-effective solution for energy-conscious businesses.
3. Build a stronger business case with a superior ROI
Beyond the savings and grants, QUANTM minimizes operational costs through simplified maintenance and reduced downtime. Its advanced motor technology eliminates complex components like belts and chains, reducing the risk of breakdowns and lowering maintenance costs.
If you add this up with the points above, you now can build a strong business case to replace your AODD’s with QUANTM. This calculator helps you to get a first general idea of your ROI.
What makes QUANTM so energy efficient?
The difference is in the electric motor technology with proven double-diaphragm design. This technology provides a high torque at a low rpm. QUANTM is the only double diaphragm pump with an IE5 motor which is also ATEX/EX certified.
