Energy drives every stage of plastics manufacturing. We help injection molders, extruders, and compounders optimize electricity costs without sacrificing quality.
Understanding the unique energy consumption patterns of plastics and polymer processing facilities
Plastics facilities consume substantial electricity, scaling with size and operation type
Injection molding and extrusion operations drive substantial peak demand
Process heating, material dryers, and chiller systems require significant natural gas supply
Continuous or multi-shift operations with quick changeovers between product runs
Injection molding machines, extruders, chillers, dryers, and compressed air systems
Consistent power quality essential for precision molding and dimensional accuracy
The challenges plastics manufacturers face in managing energy costs and consumption
Hydraulic and servo-hydraulic presses consume substantial electricity during injection cycles.
Cooling systems run constantly to hold mold temperatures, creating significant baseload demand.
Hygroscopic resins require extensive drying before processing, adding substantial energy costs.
Resin costs fluctuate with energy markets, creating double exposure to price swings.
Competitive pricing pressure means every cent per kWh matters. Cost control is critical for profitability.
Extended hours across multiple shifts maximize equipment utilization but also maximize energy exposure.
