OPERATION TIP #3:
Energy Conservation for Machines and Factories
 
 
 
Utilizing waste heat is the key to energy conservation
   
       
 
1. For injection molding machines
  • Install the heater band covers.
    Even a thin cover will help conserve energy.
  • Install heat insulator on the bottom for maximizing the effect.
  • Use the insulation plate for mold…increases the quality and yield.
   
         
 
2. For material dryers
 
  • Dryers:
    Since the heat dryers create heats in a factory, it is better to discharge the exhaust heat outside during summer time and blow it inside during winter time to save the cost on air conditioning.
  • Installing heat insulation:
    Installing the heat insulation material around the tank has great benefit in saving energy for both dryer and air conditioner.
  • Switching to different type of dryers:
    Dehumidifier and vacuum type dryers are more effective and create less exhaust heat.
  • As alternative to dryers:
    - Buy dehumidified materials.
    - Get help from the material vendor (use damp-proof packing and inject dehumidified air).
    - Install gas cleaner.
