Measure the energy consumption of your machines and then reset them for better energy efficiency. And turn off machines when they are not actively part of a production process.

The more efficient your internal logistics are, the lower the consumption of energy will be. Put machines together physically in a logical sequence, discover how materials or semi-finished products can be packaged better and evaluate the manner in which goods are transported internally.

Whith the compression of air to compressed air, 96% of the needed energy is released as heat. The remaining 4% is in the compressed air. In addition pressure is lost due to transport through long or thin lines and due to leaks or improper adjustment of the air driven equipment. By optimizing the use and recovering the heat, a lot can be saved on power consumption and costs. The same applies to energy-efficient control of the installation and proper maintenance.

Savings on energy is also possible by changing the composition of a product. This can be achieved by using fewer materials (dematerialisation) or by using different materials (material substitution). With dematerialisation you gain energy from the use of fewer materials per unit of product. An example of this is the reduction of packaging material. With material substitution one commodity is replaced by another, more energy-efficient one. With respect to raw material substitution, you can also consider using recycled materials, such as plastic recyclate.
