Our Engagement for the Environment

For KraussMaffei, a healthy environment is the basis for sustainable economic activity. This applies particularly to us as a leading player in the plastics industry. We therefore minimize and continuously improve our environmental impact in all areas. Our vision of a sustainable environment guides our daily activities.

 

Our commitment to the environment is reflected in the continuous optimization of our products. Through ongoing improvements, we have been able to achieve a cost reduction in many products and applications while maintaining or improving product quality and reducing material usage. Of course, we pass these savings on to our customers. In addition, these adjustments lead to lighter machines and thus to the conservation of resources during transport.
 
The manufacture of large industrial plants naturally requires a high input of resources and energy. Our aim is to constantly reduce these efforts and make them as environmentally friendly as possible. At our own locations, we measure emissions, energy and resource consumption, as well as waste and water consumption, using clear key performance indicators.

A family affair

Two companies located just 600 m apart (as the crow flies) are connected closely in every way: Michel Werkzeugbau AG and Wipf AG. Together, they supply aroma-seal valves to the international market. For these and other projects, Michel has invested in 13 new KraussMaffei machines (12 all-electric PX machines and 1 hydraulic CX) since 2019.

MuCell in sight

These are currently pressing questions of our time: How can we noticeably reduce the use of material and energy in the production of plastic components, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment? At Fakuma (Booth A7-7303) KraussMaffei and its partners demonstrate how physical foaming can provide answers to these questions. The new MuCell universal screw enables a quantum leap with 30 percent more plasticizing performance - as does APCplus, which for the first time also ensures shot weight consistency with MuCell.
