Thanks to all its sustainable features that do not compromise performance, IMA Ilapak’s Full Electric DELTA WW OF-HSX was announced as a winner in the Sustainable Packaging Machinery category of the Sustainable Packaging News Awards. The contest rewards the most innovative sustainable solutions in the field of packaging from the past year, and IMA’s win further highlights the commitment and the major importance given to sustainability.
The Full Electric machine DELTA WW OF-HSX is, in fact, an eco-friendly solution that falls under the IMA ZERO’s Low-Impact Program (LOW) that is one of the four categories in which IMA ZERO is declined, together with NOP (No-Plastic Program), E-MOB (Sustainable Mobility Program) and YOU (Human-Centric Program).
The main aim of such program is to reduce environmental impact and Ilapak’s machine perfectly embraces this goal, as it is a flow wrapper that drastically reduces energy consumption the faster the machine operates.
IMA Ilapak’s Full Electric machines are equipped with a compressor, which only serves to manage pneumatic applications that do not work in cyclic. Non-cyclic pneumatic, in fact, is characterized by a lower consumption, because it is only used for some specific actions; on the contrary, unlike cyclic pneumatic where energy is used for every cycle, so in this case the faster the machine, the higher energy consumption.
Comparing the DELTA WW OF-HSX to a standard flow wrapper and considering the same operating hours and speed – 170ppm – in one year, the DELTA consumes 1.500 kWh, whereas a standard machine 27.400 kWh (including air network losses). This project leads to less energy consumption, less environmental impact and less business costs, while at the same time gaining a better performance and a greater efficiency.
