Colines stresses environmental awareness

April 7, 2010
Colines Extrusion Lines (www.colines.it) is focusing on three environmental issues: testing biodegradable raw materials, mechanical solutions consuming less energy, and automation devices optimizing optimize consumption.

Colines, with associated company B-Pack, is experimenting on extrusion lines with all available biodegradable resins to understand processing potential of raw products and trade potential of finished products.

The company has applied solutions to reduce energy consumption through:
•    Use of asynchronous high-performance ac motors (95%) with liquid cooling for additional efficiency;
•    Use of the latest generation of high-performance (98%) gearboxes; and
•    Use of inverters on motors (reducing losses for passive currents).
