How to save with a quenching furnace?
The whole world is experiencing a significant increase in electricity costs and for many companies it is really difficult to manage the large consumption of their quenching furnaces, especially if they are not very technological or obsolete furnaces. The energy problem, therefore, has acquired more and more importance in recent years and all producers of tempered glass cannot overlook these substantial increases, which inevitably affect the price of the final product.
Anyone who is an expert in the industry and has considerable experience in the tempered glass sector will certainly be aware of the classic problems associated with tempering furnaces: large electrical system to operate the machinery, lack of flexibility of the same in changing the type of production consecutively, the huge costs to be incurred during production, but above all the unproductive costs derived from the ancient conception according to which a quenching furnace can never be turned off.
The solution to address these problems, with which manufacturers have been battling for decades, lies in the use of machinery designed according to a new concept, perfectly integrated in the context of industry 4.0 e focused on energy saving, with the aim of undermining the historical beliefs relating to ancient hardening systems.
Mazzaroppi Engineering since 1958 is dedicated to the construction of innovative machinery that is really able to offer customers significant economic savings while maintaining the highest quality of the final product.
After years of investments in research and development, numerous tests and various patents, we are able to offer our customers the latest generation machinery linked by a single common thread: the energy saving approach. This focus has allowed us to achieve a real energy savings up to 70% less compared to the classic furnaces for tempering glass, which every year translates into tens of thousands of euros saved by our customers.
ENERGY SAVING APPROACH
- Smart software 4.0
- CNC multi-zone control
- Mazzaroppi ultimate convection
- Fem studies
- Studies of materials and geometries
- Just in time ignition
- Flexibility of use
- Reduced electrical system
Analyzing all the costs related to a hardening plant, it appears evident that the purchase price is only one of the components to be evaluated in the investment plan, since considering the large energy and therefore economic expenditure that these machines require, over a period of 10 or even 20 years, energy costs become much more important than the initial investment, and this gap, as the years of use increase and considering the huge increases in the cost of electricity, becomes wider and wider.
In this historical period it is not cheaper buy a quenching furnace with a technology not devoted to energy saving, let alone obsolete second-hand plants and even less efficient from this point of view; so long as, against an apparent economic saving in the initial phase of the investment, actually energy costs to be sustained during the entire productive life of the plant will be far greater, making a return on investment almost impossible.
Answering the question that opens the article: Yes, it is really possible to save on enormous energy costs thanks to a Mazzaroppi system, since through the "energy saving approach" technology we can guarantee great advantages in terms of: reduced electrical system, less energy expenditure in production, total elimination of unproductive costs, elimination of long waiting times for thickness change and the "just in time" rapid ignition mode.
With one of our hardening furnaces it will be possible to save one significant amount of money right away, considering the reduced electrical system the machinery needs to contain the absorption peaks, without also quantifying the ease and speed to require an electrical substation that is far inferior to others.
Once in operation, a classic hardening furnace forces the company to bear production costs and unproductive costs; thanks to the quick ignition system "just in time"A plant of Mazzaroppi Engineering allows you to reset completely unproductive costs, giving you the opportunity to turn off the oven completely every evening and to turn it back on the next morning, considered the only ones 45 minutes waiting to reach the operating temperature from room temperature. This technology, present in all Mazzaroppi plants, has certainly revolutionized the production life of our customers, who show us their happiness not only in being able to save, everyday, 15-16 hours of energy costs even if they are not producing to keep the oven at the euro holding temperature, but above all because they can use the plant to their liking, how and when they actually need it, in the same way as any other machinery inside the glassware.
With regard to energy costs during production, on the other hand, by exploiting the characteristics aimed at energy saving mentioned above, one of our quenching furnaces consumes, for the same production, considerably less than other plants for tempering glass, allowing our customers from save several thousand € per month, which translate into truly important figures considering an adequate time frame for such an investment.
Another essential feature of Mazzaroppi plants is certainly the flexibility, by this term we mean the total cancellation of waiting times during the thickness change. These are therefore systems that are able to satisfy the production needs of customers in a semi-automatic way, and which at the same time contribute even more to reducing energy consumption during production.
As we have already seen in a long-term investment such as the one for the quenching furnace, i running costs far exceed the costs of the initial investment, and we at Mazzaroppi Engineering have worked hard to ensure that our technology, dedicated to energy saving, enable our customers to incur incredibly lower operating costs compared to what has always been thought about hardening furnaces.
Thanks to the significant decrease in these costs, the small and medium-sized glassworks they can internalize the hardening process, without the worry of having to harden assiduously to cope with the enormous monthly costs of the plant.
