Efficient compressed air solutions for plastic cans

Gummi bears, biscuits or chocolate wafers. What delicious treat doesn’t come in plastic packaging? The customer of KAESER is a certified family business that produces packaging for the food industry in accordance with the ISO 50001 energy managament guidelines. As a result of the certification, internal processes were reviewed, modernised and improved with the aim of achieving significant cost savings. The compressed air supply was also scrutinised.

Challenge

Packaging for the food industry is injection moulded by KAESER’s customers to the highest quality standards. The entire production process requires maximum efficiency in order to be able to compete on an international level in the packaging market.

Quality and sustainabilty are the top priorities. Not only for the products themselves, but also during the manufacturing process. Even during production, care is taken to conserve resources, as well as to ensure that the products produced are leak-proof, dishwasher-safer and reusable. Compressed air is used almost everwhere in production. From transporting the production materials to blowing out and removing the finished products. But compressed air is also used as a vacuum.
