Case Study
40% reduction in cooling costs for an injection moulder
In plastic injection, controlling temperatures is crucial for part quality and productivity. A manufacturer reduced its energy costs by 40% thanks to a targeted upgrade of its cooling system, without compromising its production performance.
MTA deployed a bespoke solution combining high-efficiency technologies and intelligent control, demonstrating that industrial performance and energy efficiency can go hand in hand.
Context
The company faced several critical challenges:
- Ageing equipment leading to high maintenance costs
- Excessive energy consumption undermining its competitiveness
- The need for more precise thermal control to guarantee product quality
- CSR targets requiring a reduced carbon footprint
Solution
MTA designed an optimised system incorporating:
Key technologies:
- New-generation chillers with screw compressors and electronic speed control
- Intelligent control adapting to production needs
- Heat recovery to make use of the thermal energy
Optimisations deployed:
- Hydraulic network recalculated to minimise pressure losses
- Precise matching of cooling capacity to actual needs
- Remote monitoring for proactive performance tracking
Result
The new installation generated remarkable gains:
- 40% savings on annual energy costs
- 25% improvement in thermal stability
- Fewer maintenance interventions
- Lower environmental impact
- Scalable system ready for future needs
