Energy and resource efficiency are promoted as the main drivers to create an environmentally less harmful economy. Besides, the EU proposals for reducing CO2 emissions i. 2.1. Energy efficient injection mouldingTo achieve a more environmentally friendly production, there are basically two options available: technology and/or processes can be optimised. Wh. 3.1. Objective, approach and research demandThe approach is specifically taking into account the evaluation of energy efficiency in process and pr.
[PDF Version]Optimizing the plastic injection molding process yields significant benefits for cleaner and more sustainable production. By lowering specific energy consumption to 21.7477 kWh/kg, manufacturers reduce electricity use, promoting energy conservation. Decreased energy consumption also cuts CO2 emissions, mitigating environmental impact.
Within the plastic industry, injection molding is a critical process that is not only energy-intensive but also marked by large-scale production and relatively low energy efficiency, often requiring between 4 and 5 kWh of energy per kilogram of plastic produced .
A method to forecast the energy consumption of injection moulding processes is developed and validated via energy measurements. Furthermore, a method for an energy controlling of entire injection moulding cost centres is presented.
The injection molding (IM) process is a widely used manufacturing process for injecting material into a mold for producing a diverse array of parts. It includes several energy-consuming procedures, such as heating plastic pellets, forcing melted polymer into a mold cavity, and cooling down the molded products.
The accurate prediction of energy consumption in injection molding enables timely adjustments to operational parameters and process optimization, leading to reduced energy consumption and significant improvements in both energy efficiency and production output.
Electric energy can easily be provided and allows fast production cycles. The main drivers for energy consumption in injection moulding are the injection moulding machine, the cooling system, the material dryer, and the take-out-system (e.g. robot or handling system).
