ARBURG's 2008 corporate objective is the efficient use of energy and this year will focus on techniques and technologies to improve energy consumption.

Comtec IPE is also offering a host of new products designed to cut down energy use and improve efficiency in the plastics and material handling industry.

With input from ARBURG and our other partners, we will bring to our customers a range of articles that cover this up and coming topic.

The benefits from efficiency are clear, but are usually overlooked when it comes down to the crunch, the initial cost of a system pales in comparison to the energy, materials and upkeep costs associated with moulding. By looking at current systems and comparing them to energy saving systems will we be able to see financial benefits that these systems can bring.

Stay tuned for more information on this hot industry topic.
