The industry-first 9kWh sustainable power supply uses salt-based power cells to replace lithium, marking a new era of environmental media production30th May 2023Anton/Bauer has announced the launch of Salt-E Dog, a sodium-based 9kWh mobile power source designed specifically for motion picture and television production. The industry-first power source delivers consistent and reliable energy and addresses the pressing issue of carbon emissions associated with traditional fossil fuel or lithium generators. It signifies a major milestone in sustainable power for the media and entertainment industry, positioning Anton/Bauer as a leading provider of clean energy solutions.
The Future of Sustainable ProductionThe Salt-E Dog caters to location shoots and productions that demand emission-free and noiseless power. By utilizing sodium-based power, the battery creates a healthier and more pleasant environment for both production crews and talent. Unlike gas generators, the Salt-E Dog produces no harmful CO2 or NOx emissions, resulting in cleaner air and a safer production experience. Its near-silent operation and compact design allow for placement closer to where a production needs power, eliminating lengthy and hazardous cables and reducing time-consuming ADR work. The Salt-E Dog offsets greenhouse gas emissions, allowing productions to offset 2.6 kg of CO2 and associated NOx per liter of fuel saved, contributing to a greener future.
With the increasing focus on the environment and sustainability, the motion picture and television production industry has a responsibility to embrace eco-friendly practicesAndrew Hutton, Product Manager - Anton/Bauer
Until now, productions have relied on gas generators, designed for heavy industries with less sensitive equipment. Or, lithium-based power supplies, said Andrew Hutton, Product Manager - Anton/Bauer. We are using a more sustainable and readily available option: sodium. Compared to lithium, sodium cells offer a safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting power solution. This makes Salt-E Dog the smart and sustainable choice for powering cine equipment.
Not only is the sodium cell 100% recyclable, but it also has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating compared to lithium-ion batteries, making it the most environmentally friendly choice in the market. Using sodium cells, rather than lithium, productions can safely place the unit near lighting, catering, craft and even on-screen talent without the risk of thermal runaway or fire, reducing the need for fire marshals and water trucks on set lowering insurance premiums.
7-inch color touchscreen display for real-time monitoring
The Salt-E Dog offers a range of power output options. AC power is provided through four 20A 120V outlets or a 50A 125V Stage Pin connector. DC power comes through four 16A 28V XLR3, four 16A 48V, as well as two 5 20V, 100W USB-C ports. With these power capabilities, the Salt-E Dog can provide up to 6000W of pure sine wave power, allowing for extended off-the-grid usage to run production equipment for hours. Users can recharge the unit from AC outlets, solar PV, and CCS Level 2 (J1772) electric vehicle charge points.
Multiple AC and DC outputs supply green power to everything
Anton/Bauer has a long-standing history of pioneering innovations in the industry, and introducing the Salt-E Dog solidifies its position as an industry leader in sustainable power solutions. By adopting sodium battery technology, Anton/Bauer continues to drive the industry forward in reducing carbon emissions and offering a safer and more cost-effective alternative to traditional power sources.
The motion picture and television industry plays a crucial role in inspiring audiences and driving change. Said Nicola Dal Toso, divisional CEO - Videndum Production Solutions. The Salt-E Dog is the first of a new breed of sustainable Anton/Bauer products that will provide consistent, reliable power with no noise or pollution, helping productions meet sustainability goals without compromising quality.
We are excited to be at the forefront of industry sustainability efforts by producing a cleaner, more environmentally safe alternative to traditional power sourcesNicola Dal Toso, Divisional CEO - Videndum Production Solutions
