Comparative case study on all electric moulding machines
Case studies
1 March 2009
Three companies - Monaghan Plastics, Tru Design Plastics and Tru-Test Limited - installed all-electric moulding machines.
The new machines used 9% less energy than hydraulic machines when making products with short cycle times, such as medical clips. But energy savings of nearly 80% were possible with products requiring longer cycle times, like electric fence insulators.
