Boosting Energy Efficiency in plastics manufacturing with specialty lubricants by Klüber Lubrication
Why lubricants matter?
Every moving part in your production line – from extruders to injection molding machines – relies on friction management. Conventional lubricants reduce wear, but advanced specialty lubricants offer even more benefits that support your operation: they minimize friction, provide lower operating temperatures, and optimize energy consumption. This results into direct energy savings and reduced CO₂ emissions which supports you to meet environmental targets while decreasing costs.
Proven benefits of lubricants for the plastics industry
- Energy savings: Field measurements show reductions in electricity consumption by up to 6%, with payback periods as short as a few months.
- Lower operating costs: Extended relubrication intervals reduce downtime and maintenance expenses.
- Sustainability gains: Reduced energy consumption results into lower emissions and ensures compliance with energy management standards. This gives customers confidence in their investment decisions and makes it easier to implement improvements as part of ISO 50001 certification.
