Process transparency and digital intelligence
Motan – hall B1 booth 1111
The Motan Group, Constance, Germany, is focusing its attention on minimising energy consumption and the circular economy. The materials management specialist will be presenting a selection of its energy-efficient ancillaries tailored to this purpose, as well as a CO2 calculator for assessing the carbon footprint when producing plastic parts. For processors in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, a completely new product line will be presented.
“The energy data of the material have a massive influence on the overall ecological balance of the manufactured products. Plastics processors expect more transparency and standards here,” explains CEO Sandra Füllsack. By means of energy monitoring, it is possible to record the energy consumption of each individual process step. The CO2 footprint of each individual part can be calculated, and the data is certified. This provides the processor with the basis for a systematic optimisation of the energy consumption of his individual production processes.
Process-safe and energy-saving drying
The material drying process is particularly energy intensive. In the latest generation of Luxor SG small-volume dry air dryers, Motan has incorporated the Ecoprotect function as standard. Depending on the unit size, the function reduces energy consumption by 10%. At the same time, the protective function ensures a secure and reliable drying without over- or under-drying. The mobile small dryers, in which this process-safe technology has been combined with state-of-the-art microprocessor control, are among the trade fair highlights at the Motan stand.
Plastic as a valuable material
In a functioning circular economy with high-quality recycling, material handling plays a key role. To achieve this, Motan focuses on the digitalisation of systems and the networking of production processes. The avoidance of material or energy losses through appropriately designed systems is just one aspect that the material management specialist expresses with its slogan ‘Zero Loss’. Continuously developing processes and products and making them more sustainable is part of the company’s long-standing strategy.
A holistic understanding of the process
Within the scope of the Motan academy, companies can have their personnel trained to such an extent that not only the technology and function of individual units is understood, but also the entire production process. Being able to set up and operate a machine is important. Understanding how settings affect the entire process is even more important. The basic and advanced seminars of the Motan academy teach users the interrelationships of material management in theory and practice.
