Better material choice
Lower utility costs
Less material
Less scrap
Efficient material utilization
Maillefer offers several ways to improve material utilization in manufacturing processes:
Quality ControlFast quality ramp-ups and ramp-downs save raw material, as production begins immediately once the extrusion line starts.
Plastic Optimization
Maillefer’s modern extruders minimize the difference between nominal and actual product dimensions, reducing plastic overuse. Precise extrusion stability combined with our automated crosshead centering concept can save up to ten percent of plastic material, equivalent to up to 100 tons per line.
Precise Cable Geometry
New, highly precise cable geometry measurement technology and smart crosslinking technology (MRC) enable insulation development that achieves significant material savings. This, combined with improvements in outer semicon distribution, can save up to EUR 200,000 in insulation and semicon materials on a single power cable line.
Manufacturing efficiency
Manufacturing speeds and machine utilization rates have always been central to production line development. Maillefer’s solutions ensure high utilization rates and consistent quality through advanced process and quality controls. This also leads to reduced energy consumption.
Longer Production CampaignsWe have developed the extrusion process for longer running campaigns (over 100 tons of insulation material), which reduces energy consumption due to fewer ramp-ups and ramp-downs.
Smart solutions
Productivity can be increased with higher line speeds, which demand greater precision. Maillefer’s smart control solutions assist in both line operation and process parameter optimization, leading to remarkable material savings.
Smart BufferingWe have introduced the world’s first autonomous line for fiber optic cable manufacturing, called Smart Buffering. It yields material savings in both plastics and fiber, reaching up to EUR 400,000.
