Rajoo Ushers in a New Era For Solar Cell Manufacturers – Launches Lamina è, India’s First Mono & Multi-Layer EVA/POE Sheet Line For Producing Encapsulant Sheet For Solar Cells

Rajoo Ushers in a New Era For Solar Cell Manufacturers – Launches Lamina è, India’s First Mono & Multi-Layer EVA/POE Sheet Line For Producing Encapsulant Sheet For Solar Cells

Marking its foray into the renewable energy sector, with Lamina è sheet extrusion lines , Rajoo takes a giant step forward, matching extrusion excellence with functionality, building a sort-after solution in the world to produce the highly complex EVA/POE sheet for solar cells; an approach that would certainly turn out to be a trend-setter.

Well understanding that if India has to realise the vision of its renewable energy programme, local manufacturing of related equipment will play a pivotal role, believes Rajoo. Extending its skills of extrusion, leveraging its strong understanding of the polymer chemistry (EVA being a rubbery material, and low shrinkage being a crucial parameter) and its 15 years of experience of producing sheet extrusion lines for EVA, Rajoo Engineers, smartly builds India’s first line to produce EVA/POE encapsulant sheet for solar cells. A move that would save the country precious foreign exchange and, at the same time, empower solar panel manufacturers, while presenting an opportunity for plastic processors to get a solution that is more cost-effective to buy and operate. The confidence that Rajoo commands as regards the local availability of parts and service support will only further the comfort of this growing solar panel industry.

The versatile solution of Lamina è series of sheet extrusion lines comes with an output range of 300 to 900 kg/hr (in both monolayer and multilayer versions), width of 1,300 – 3,000 mm and a thickness range of 0.30 – 0.90 mm. The line is equipped with a fully automatic and continuous gravimetric feeding system and has energy-efficient extruders with universal barrier screws. The screw elements and screw profiles are designed according to the physical and chemical nature of EVA and POE resin. Furthermore, the peculiar EVA-use T-die is designed as per the extrusion rheology.

This solution has chartered a diversification for Rajoo to look beyond ‘extrusion for packaging alone’ and enter into newer and upcoming markets. While bringing in a lot of cheer to the solar panel manufacturers, this launch has provided a diversification opportunity for Rajoo’s existing and sizeable customer base with a reliable business model into which Rajoo can provide a good insight! This fascinating solution is another ‘Rajoo Step’ towards Make-in-India and will once again put Indian manufacturing on the global map.

“We are very excited as we have commissioned our first line. A lot of research has gone into conceptualising this machine. The EVA sheets used for encapsulation in solar cells are a very crucial element in the manufacture of the solar panels and I am glad that we took this bold step that would make a difference to India’s energy programme and India’s journey towards energy independence by 2047,” highlights a buoyant Khushboo Chandrakant Doshi, Managing Director, Rajoo Engineers Limited.

Arburg Continues its Very Sustainable Course

Arburg Continues its Very Sustainable Course

  • Sustainable: New edition of the Sustainability Report available online
  • Comprehensive: Sustainability Report as part of the aburgGREENworld program
  • Ambitious: Figures show further reductions in many areas

The recently released third Sustainability Report with information from 2021 and 2022 provides a wealth of up-to-date facts and figures on Arburg, its values and sustainability activities. For precisely these sustainability reasons, the Report can only be browsed and read online as an interactive PDF on the Arburg website. It contains a lot of interesting background information arranged in a way that is clear and easy to understand.

In its Sustainability Report 2022, Arburg provides annual information on its website (www.arburg.com/en/smart-production/sustainability/) regarding the values of this family company employing around 3,600 people worldwide and the extent to which it acts and operates sustainably in all relevant areas over the long term.

Part of the arburgGREENworld program

The Sustainability Report is an important component of the arburgGREENworld program, with which the company has enshrined sustainability through resource efficiency, a reduced carbon footprint and circular economy as important goals. These activities already go back more than ten years. As early as 2012, Arburg was one of the first companies ever to be triple certified in terms of quality, environment and energy. Environmental protection, resource conservation and efficiency have been an integral part of the corporate philosophy for decades. Energy-efficient construction is just as much a part of the portfolio as sustainable manufacturing processes. Other contributing factors include central production at a location with a high proportion of in-house manufacturing and short supply chains, production-efficient machine technology, and the digital products and services making up the arburgXworld program (www.arburg.com/en/smart-production/digitalisation/).

Understanding digitalisation and sustainability

An important goal of Arburg is to significantly reduce the carbon footprint in plastics processing through sustainabie production and products. Returning the valuable material plastic sensibly to the cycle is only possible if it is separated by type. Here, Arburg is living up to its claim of combining sustainability and production efficiency through high-quality technology solutions. Reducing emissions, putting finances to good use for Arburg and its employees and understanding digitalisation as sustainability are further central concepts that the company has been incorporating into its activities for some time now. The new Sustainability Report 2022 also has a lot to say about this. One example is sustainable construction: in all the assembly halls built during the last few years, Arburg uses heat recovery to harness the energy input and can therefore heat the buildings in a virtually cost- and carbon-neutral manner. The use of photovoltaics and geothermal energy also enables sustainable energy management. By installing additional photovoltaic systems on the Arburg multi-storey car park in Lossburg and integrating the two wind turbines into the energy generation system, the company is expanding and intensifying its sustainable energy production even more.

Impressive figures

Further impressive figures demonstrate how Arburg has implemented sustainability across the entire company:

  • 87 per cent of all waste in 2021 was recycled taking full account of the circular economy.
  • Rainwater collected in multiple cisterns increased the share of rainwater in total water consumption from 16 to almost 23 per cent in
  • Arburg generated 1.7 million kWh of solar power with photovoltaics alone for its own use in 2021. This corresponds to the energy needs of around 470 four-person households.
  • By participating again in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) 2022 rating, Arburg was able to achieve an above-average result with a “B” rating, as it did in 2021. In addition, EcoVadis and SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative), two further sustainability assessment projects, were added in 2022. Arburg is among the top 25 per cent of companies with an EcoVadis “Silver Score”. The SBTi status “Commitment” requires the elaboration of the target path in terms of reduction goals and targets. ARBURG is currently implementing this.
  • Between 2010 and 2021, these and many other measures and activities saved a total of over 100 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.

Clearly structured

The conceptual basis of the Sustainability Report is the State of Baden-Württemberg’s “WIN Charter” sustainability management system. This “Charta” consists of twelve statements that address, among other topics, human and labour rights, employee well-being, resources, energy and emissions, product responsibility as well as anti-corruption. Another key factor is the added value that a company like Arburg can create for a region. Arburg’s third Sustainability Report is an interesting read for anyone wanting to see in black and white what makes the company sustainable and where it is heading in the future in terms of resource conservation.

DXQenergy.Management Enables Production Resource Savings

DXQenergy.Management Enables Production Resource Savings

In light of increasing energy costs and stricter environmental regulations, significant reductions must be made in industrial production resource consumption. Dürr’s ISO 50001-certified energy management solution can help with this. DXQenergy.management provides plant operators with a transparent overview of energy and media consumption across the entire production plant, making it possible to quickly identify primary consumers at the plant level.

What are a production plant’s electricity consumption trends? How much solvent does each workpiece require? Is there a noticeable increase in water consumption? Plant operators need answers to these and many other questions – especially in energy-intensive sectors like car manufacturing – to reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and operating costs. Dürr’s energy management solution DXQenergy.management transparently displays the necessary data to the user in clearly arranged dashboards. Various views are available to quickly see relevant gas, electricity, water, paint, or solvent consumption for the entire plant or select areas like individual process lines. Thus, the production plant’s different user groups get information with the precise level of detail they need.

Informative key figures

DXQenergy.management continuously monitors the data recorded by the linked sensors and saves this data in a central location. However, pure consumption values like robot electricity consumption are of limited use for analyzing and optimizing the energy efficiency of machines and processes. DXQenergy.management combines consumption and production values to provide insightful key figures like electricity consumption per produced body.

Detailed data analysis

The central consumption cockpit with individual gauge as appropriate to the type of energy and medium allows plant operators to comprehensively evaluate the measurement infrastructure’s data. For example, hot water can be displayed in liters to compare consumption during different periods. Current consumption value can also be compared with an earlier one, or a defined nominal value. Alternatively, hot water can be specified in kilowatt hours to represent the energy required for heating. The following applies to all relevant consumption figures: They can be represented in various units and for different periods for each type of medium and each process area up to the sensor level. Thus, users can see if everything is running in the green zone or if one specific consumption item is too high, as signaled by a red indicator. They can then quickly identify the primary consumers at the plant level using DXQenergy.management and, thanks to the detailed evaluation, analyze down to the individual sensor where exactly plant resources are being wasted.

Efficient switching

Automatically switching all systems along the entire process chain reduces energy consumption and manual effort. This function stores operational work time models so that the machines switch on automatically in good time before work begins, are scaled down during break times and are reliably switched off at the end of the workday. Manual intervention is still possible if unplanned changes occur. DXQenergy.management is suitable for all industry sectors and can be retrofitted to existing plants with network-compatible sensors. HOMAG, one of the world’s leading providers of integrated production solutions in the woodworking industry and trades, is already using the software at its Schopfloch site. The energy management solution has also completed TÜV certification there according to ISO 50001.

Starlinger Presents First Sustainability Report

Starlinger Presents First Sustainability Report

The Vienna-based machine manufacturer and world market leader in the field of woven plastic bag production plants has presented the first sustainability report for the year 2022. It provides information about the CSR policy that Starlinger has included in its corporate strategy, and measures the company has already implemented. The sustainability report is available in German and English.

Starlinger & Co Gesellschaft m.b.H. is an Austrian family company with around 720 employees and 11 branches worldwide. Consisting of the divisions Starlinger textile packaging, Starlinger recycling technology and Starlinger viscotec, the company has an export rate of 99% and generated sales of 356 million euros in the 2021/22 financial year.

Clarissa Graf has been responsible for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Starlinger since 2019. Together with her team, she defines CSR measures and ensures their implementation as part of the corporate strategy. “Starlinger’s first sustainability report can be seen as a summary of where we currently stand,” explained Graf. “It sets out the CSR policy that we have defined for our company with regard to environment and society, and provides an overview of measures which have already been taken in various areas such as resource and energy management, procurement, training and professional development, or health and safety.”

Sustainability has been a topic at Starlinger for decades. The first Starlinger recycling lines were built back in 1987 with the idea of making full use of the production waste in woven bag manufacture. Today, machines for the recycling and refining of a wide range of plastics are managed under separate business units and form an important pillar of the company.

Starlinger applies an economical use of resources and energy efficiency both in the technical development of the systems and in their manufacture. Measures recorded in the Sustainability Report 2022 and already implemented in the company include the use of renewable energies, a waste management system, sustainable procurement from local and regional suppliers, or the reduction of business trips through the increased use of video conferences and VR glasses for remote support in solving technical problems.

Starlinger considers its employees in Austria and abroad as an important basis for the company’s success. They are offered attractive jobs with flexible working hours, training and professional development opportunities – in particular the promotion of youth employment through apprenticeship training and holiday internships – as well as regular events that enable employees from all areas of the company to meet and promote good working relationships. In addition to health care – such as regular check-ups by the company doctor or vaccinations – Starlinger also values diversity and inclusion.

In 2020, the company applied for membership of respACT, Austria’s leading corporate platform for responsible business. Since March 2022, Starlinger has also been one of the signatory companies of the UN Global Compact, a global pact between the United Nations and over 16,000 business members who work together for a sustainable future.

Dörken has Started to Produce Innovative Technical Building Membranes on SML Lamination Lines

Dörken has Started to Produce Innovative Technical Building Membranes on SML Lamination Lines

In the past few months, the German company, Dörken, has put two new production lines from SML into operation. Highly permeable roof and facade membranes are manufactured as part of the company’s product portfolio. In addition to innovative properties, a large number of the new composite films are making a statement due to their particularly resource-saving and efficient manufacturing processes. To a large extent, the products and production processes were developed in SML’s Technology Center – even before the lines were planned or installed at Dörken.

When it comes to membranes for the construction industry, Dörken is European market leader. In autumn 2022, the company opened a new production site in Hagen-Vorhalle in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the two coextrusion coating and laminating lines from SML are now up and running. The tailor-made plants are setting new standards in terms of functionality, quality monitoring and the degree of automation involved.

Previous product development at SML’s Technology Center

“The remarkable thing about this project is that Dörken did not carry out substantial parts of the product development process at its own plants, but on an industrial scale FlexPack line located in our Technology Center,” Dirk Beckendorff, Area Sales Manager at SML, explains. The product development process at SML took several years: Among other things, it included basic trials with the SML DoubleCoat process, test series with the most important products of Dörken’s portfolio and several test runs for the development and sampling of new roofing membranes. Since it was possible to certify a number of products even before the lines were commissioned at Dörken, the over-all product development process was accelerated quite significantly. “It was important for us to benefit from the opportunity offered us by SML. In addition to confirming the known recipes and processes, we were able to use SML’s pilot plant for our innovations at a very early stage. In principle, we have actively integrated SML’s plant into our Stage Gate process,” Christian Harste, CTO at Dörken, clarifies. Immediately after the installation of the two lines, Dörken was able to start regular production.

New standards for products

One of the two multi-purpose coating and laminating lines at Dörken is equipped with SML’s patented DoubleCoat technology. This technology enables a combined adhesive and extrusion coating process for the production of ultra-thin and highly breathable laminates. It allows the manufacturing of a wide variety of technical composites for the construction industry, such as vapor barriers or waterproofing membranes. The second production line is a combined line with two integrated adhesive roll coaters for the manufacturing of highly breathable roofing and facade membranes in one production step.

The thickness of the TPU membranes can be considerably reduced, compared to conventional products available on the market. Thanks to the innovative system technology, significantly improved water vapor permeability values can be achieved, with, at the same time, excellent product properties with regard to longevity. “Our new underlay membranes are impressive with their proven durability and thus long-term protection. Extreme quality and long-term tests as well as special test procedures confirm their extraordinary resilience. With a high elasticity and integrated self-adhesive edges, this new generation of products is the perfect solution for a wide variety of applications. It enables a higher energy efficiency and a raised living comfort,” Dörken-CTO, Christian Harste, states.

Intuitive operation – integrated inspection systems

A central element in both production lines is the SMILE control system developed by SML software application engineers. This enables the highly intuitive operation of the lines, tailored to the respective production process and the associated functionalities. “Integrated inspection systems and our data management tool, BitWise, ensure the comprehensive monitoring of the entire process chain at both plants. The production parameters of each product can be completely traced,” SML product manager, Johannes Danter, points out. This is an enormous help to Dörken when complying with the strictest quality standards, especially regarding the long-term product guarantees the market demands.

Modernisation with a significant increase in efficiency

The two production lines from SML allow a massive increase in efficiency because of their lower raw material consumption. Compared to the plant and process technology previously available, the production of the new generation of highly breathable roofing and facade membranes takes place in just a single production step. In addition, the lines operate at a comparatively high production speed of up to 120 m/min. Along with considerable time savings, the waste generated during production is reduced to a minimum.

The two new lines from SML replace several existing plants and give Dörken the opportunity to produce innovative membranes. They emphasize Dörken’s claim to manufacture as economically and resource-efficiently as possible – with greatly improved product properties achieved through further development work.
