Techne is a leader in Extrusion Blow Molding machines manufacturing since 1985 and offers tailor-made solutions according to the needs of its customers. The company states that significant energy cost reductions can be achieved in plastic blow molding by switching from a hydraulic system to an electric system .

More than ever, the suppliers of blow-molded bottles or containers are challenged by the quest for energy optimization and energy efficiency, also because of the increasingly high demand for economically sustainable goods.

Saving energy in the blow molding of plastics is key to great performance and leads to cost-effective policies, which benefit the company in every aspect. The majority of the energy costs related to plastics production are determined by the types of blow molding machines currently in use: for this reason, it is important to evaluate the best technology available, choosing the solution that guarantees top quality and feasibility.

Techne provides an efficiency plan analysis through the replacement of hydraulic technology with an electric extrusion blow molding machine.

In most cases, manufacturers employ a hydraulic blow molding machine in their plant. This equipment is usually very widespread in the industry, thanks to the durability and high degree of reliability that ensures. As such, the main advantage of a hydraulic blow molding machine is simple: it keeps running for a very long time. However, this technology is also subject to obsolescence and this is especially true when it comes to energy-saving upgrades plus new sustainability standards.Therefore, the solution to energy efficiency is the migration from a blow molding machine based on a hydraulic system to an electric one. A full electric blow molding machine can help manage energy costs by reducing: 

- Power consumption saving

- Air / water supply for machine cooling saving.

- Extruded plastic material saving and optimization thanks to an improved parison adjustment

- Absence of a hydraulic unit in electrical technology
