Improving Efficiency: A TOEO Installation Case Study in Italy (2024)
Technoplan Engineering SA carried out a successful energy optimization project in Italy, highlighting once again the impact of our engineering expertise in the PET packaging industry.
The project involved the installation of our TOEO system — Technoplan Oven Energy Optimization — on a SIPA SFR blowing machine at a water bottling plant. This intervention was part of a broader initiative to support our clients in reducing energy consumption and improving operational efficiency, without compromising on the quality or stability of their production.
A Concrete Impact on Energy and Cost Savings
Following the installation, energy measurements revealed a clear improvement in oven efficiency. The client was able to reduce their electricity consumption from 98 kW/h to 76 kW/h, resulting in 22 kW/h saved per hour of operation. On top of that, the energy consumption of the infrared lamps — one of the most energy-intensive components of the machine — was reduced by 25%, generating an estimated €13,200 in annual savings.
