Dortmund, February 9, 2023 \u2013 Since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, prices for electricity, gas and oil have rocketed. The situation on the world\u2019s energy markets remains tense, with the high costs a huge financial burden for both consumers and industry. There is an increasing demand for alternative solutions to secure an economical supply of energy in the long term. This is where KHS comes in with its package of shrink tunnel conversions. With it, the Dortmund specialist for filling and packaging systems enables its clients to convert their existing machinery to a number of different forms of energy. <\/em><\/a><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last few weeks lots of concerned customers have contacted Bernd Pauls, KHS service sales support manager. \u201cThe big rise in energy prices is making the beverage industry very nervous. Our customers \u2013 and especially those in Europe \u2013 are really worried about the continuing secure supply of natural gas and electricity. They\u2019re now looking for economical ways of ensuring the energy supply for their machine parks in the long term.\u201d As an experienced service specialist, Pauls knows that there is no general formula here. \u201cEach bottler has different requirements and challenges. In close cooperation with our customers, we thus work to find specific remedies that are perfectly tailored to the current and future needs of the respective company.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various conversion packages for KHS shrink tunnels<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To this end, KHS has\nput together an extensive tool kit of conversion variants. Taking the shrink\ntunnel as an example, Pauls outlines the flexible options available. \u201cOur customers can opt for conversion from one source of\nenergy to another \u2013 from natural gas to electricity or liquid gas, for\ninstance. They also have the option of switching the system between two types\nof gas or flexibly converting it to electricity. Conversion back to a gas\nsupply can then be performed by the customer as required.\u201d<\/a> This\nsignificantly reduces dependence on a single source of energy and increases the\nsecurity of supply.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion\nvariants greatly differ in their nature and complexity. \u201cSome are carried out\nby our experts just once; others are conversions that provide reversible setup\noptions,\u201d Pauls explains. Conversions are available for practically all\nexisting shrink tunnels and are installed by KHS specialists specifically\ntrained for the job. There is usually no change in machine control for the\noperating personnel. With the reversible option the setup is changed by the\ncustomer either digitally in a matter of minutes using a selector switch on the\nHMI or by changing a module over (this takes just a few hours). \u201cThe customer\u2019s\nengineers are of course thoroughly trained in module changeovers by our expert\ncolleagues,\u201d says Pauls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extensive advice<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to\nproviding technical support on site, KHS also delivers extensive advice\nregarding energy optimization of installed systems. This includes a number of\nenergy-saving packages. On the shrink tunnel one of these is a standby option\nwhere on a production stop the temperature can be manually or automatically\nlowered by about 50\u00b0C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the\nuse of resources, KHS has made great progress in the last few years. On its\nshrink packers, for example, not only can extremely thin film be processed but\nalso film made of 100% recycled material. On request existing packaging\nmachines can also have a paper wrapping unit permanently installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live dialog with customers: Technical Talks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

KHS offers its customers advice and information on the various conversion options and their specific benefits in its supplementary global Technical Talks webinar series. Pauls and his colleagues recently held four seminars on the energy supply and efficiency of KHS machines that met with a very positive response: over 200 interested viewers took part. Further information is planned to be published in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
