Author: Silke Landtwing, Corporate Communication Manager, Leister AG, Switzerland

Since electricity prices in Europe have reached record highs and all we hear and read about are electricity shortages, everyone is talking about saving electricity. And this applies not only to us but also to manufacturers and users in the plastics processing industry. When thick-walled plastics are molded on sheet-fed machines, a timed process is used. And it is precisely here that major savings could be achieved.

Leister experts Oliver Hinz, Senior Product Manager IH, and Silvio Conti, Technology Infrared Manager, have analyzed which requirements infrared heaters in sheet-fed machines must meet in order to take advantage of these savings potentials. They share their findings and calculations with you in this white paper.
