Energy. A decisive part of your production costs. But how do you really effectively reduce energy consumption in your production plants?
Choosing the energy sources for your business wisely can already contribute to reducing the effects of global warming. But you can go even beyond that: Using Oerlikon`s e-save technologies can help to optimize your energy consumption – and at the same time reduce your operational expenditure.
There is a huge demand for textile fibers: population growth of around 3% per annum, fast fashion and many other factors are fueling this demand. According to international studies, global demand for staple fibers made from polyester will total 20 million tons in 2025 – this is approx. 33% more than the production volume recorded in 2013. In view of noticeable climate change and its impact on people and the economy, resource- and environment-friendly manufacturing methods are absolutely crucial for the future. High production costs are currently eating into the margins of fiber producers. Noteworthy here are above all massively increased energy and polymer prices, but water is also an important resource today – very frequently scarce and consequently expensive.
Rising energy prices, scarce resources, an ageing society, a shortage of skilled workers and lower profit margins in many industries prove Oerlikon's e-save mission right. For 20 years, the technology leader in manmade fiber production has been scoring points with significantly lower energy consumption compared to the market standard, the competition or its own predecessor models. Fiber and yarn manufacturers around the world appreciate this, as investments in new systems developed according to e-save criteria pay for themselves in a much shorter time.
“Topics such as energy efficiency and the careful use of resources have become increasingly important for all our customers in recent years, not least due to stricter legal framework conditions. Our e-save sustainability program and the associated technology development over the last two decades has often given us the decisive advantage in numerous investment decisions on the customer side and thus the edge over the competition.”
says Georg Stausberg, CEO of the Oerlikon Polymer Processing Solutions Division and CSO of the Swiss Oerlikon Group.
