Stop Paying To Run Idle Equipment
Automatic Energy Savings for Plastics Processors
The Watt-Stop automatically shuts down grinders, conveyors, blowers, pumps, loaders, and compressed air systems whenever production stops — then restarts them when the process resumes.
No operator action required.
No wasted runtime.
No paying for equipment sitting idle.
Your Equipment Stops. Your Utility Bill Doesn’t.
Every hour idle equipment keeps running:
- motors consume electricity,
- compressors keep working,
- blowers generate heat,
- and utility costs continue climbing.
Most plants never realize how much they’re losing.
What Watt-Stop Does
Connect It. Set It. Let It Work.
The moment production resumes, Watt-Stop re-energizes the system automatically.
①
Monitor Your Main Machine Watt-Stop detects when your molding machine, extruder, or process stops.
②
Control Auxiliary Equipment Automatically shut down:
- grinders
- blowers
- conveyors
- pumps
- compressed air systems
- loaders
- fans
- and more
③
Restart Automatically
Typical Application

- Air Knives & Blow-Off Systems
- Loaders & Feed Systems
- Cooling Pumps
- Exhaust Fans
- Blowers
Grinder Energy Waste Adds Up Fast
A typical grinder and blower system can continue consuming:
45% of full-load power even while sitting idle.
Modeled savings: $18,486/year across 5 grinder systems.

Compressed Air Waste Is Even Worse
Compressed air is often the most expensive utility in the plant.
A single 1.5″ Line Vac running continuously can cost: $9,366/year in compressor energy.
Watt-Stop automatic shutoff reduced modeled operating cost by: 95%
