Teamwork brings energy savings to Tuzsér

Energy saving
Simple steps make a big difference

At the end of 2019 the number of energy meters was doubled, which helped identify where improvements could be made. This resulted in:

  • Getting the production lines in perfect condition: last year over 90% of the preventive maintenance was completed according to plan.
  • Optimizing the factory utilities: cooling systems were improved and leaks in the compressed air network were repaired.
  • Increase of throughput at injection lines: investments in better extrusion screws, new dehumidifiers and 96 cavity moulds were made.

Daily monitoring and joint meetings between production & maintenance resulted in more energy savings. By working towards the same goal, this team approach helped make this excellent result a reality!
