DANFOSS
Optimisation of resin storage in Denmark / Silos installed to replace octabins
Industrial technology group Danfoss (Nordborg / Denmark; www.danfoss.com) has installed three silos to supply its injection moulding machines at its subsidiary Danfoss Heating in Silkeborg / Denmark. Previously, the machines were supplied individually from octabins.
The Labotek (Wuppertal / Germany; www.labotek.com) silos each hold 40 t of plastic resin and supply the production hall via a 70 m long vacuum piping system, which saves space. The company gained additional space by not having to store the empty cardboard octabins until disposal.
