Boost your digitization and electrification level

Sustainable, efficient, and performing drive concepts for the plastics industry at NPE 2024 in Orlando

From May 6 to 10, 2024, the plastics industry will meet at the NPE 2024 trade show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Electrification and digitization for sustainability, circularity, efficiency, and performance will be Baumüller's focus topics at the fair. Baumüller's intelligent drive and automation products, solutions, services, and capabilities enable high performance and availability while sustainable, efficient, and long-lasting machines.

Companies in the plastics industry have relied on Baumüller's innovative technology and expertise for years. Market leaders in the fields of injection molding, film production, extrusion, thermoforming, blow molding, and the recycling sector are among Baumüller's customers. Baumüller's will display its unique value proposition for the plastics industry at booth W2371, West Building, Level 2.

Baumüller offers a broad portfolio of solutions for the intelligent control and electrification of hybrid and fully electric plastics machines

Electrification and digitization on the rise

Baumüller offers a broad portfolio of products, solutions, and services to electrify and digitize machines for the plastics industry, making them fully electrical or hybrid -a combination of electric and servo-hydraulic- depending on the product and process needs.

Fully electric machines
High-speed plastic packaging production machines are equipped with compact, energy-efficient servo-drive technology in combination with dynamic servo motors. Eliminating mechanical or hydraulic transmission elements through highly efficient synchronous drives positively affects the machine's throughput and efficiency. The precision of servo-drive technology also reduces material usage, and its technology allows for the reuse of excess energy. Servo drive technology is also used to manufacture medical products requiring clean room conditions -where no oil is present- to avoid contamination.

Digitization is an essential catalyst for achieving ambitious climate targets. It is also the primary enabler for efficiently exploiting the potential of drive technology with optimized manpower and resources. For example, through ProSimulation, Baumüller's simulation software, the digital twin enables the optimal design of drive components, faster commissioning, and drive optimization, saving time, costs, and energy. In addition, communication protocols such as OPC UA and MQTT unleash intelligent machine communication to capitalize on the power of device collaboration and analytics on the cloud.

ProSimulation offers the possibility to test the drive behavior realistically already in the design phase and enables not only the optimal design of the drive components but also a faster commissioning and drive optimization

Low-maintenance and energy-efficient: servo pump solution with self-lubricating internal gearing

For servo-hydraulic solutions, Baumüller offers drive systems that are low-maintenance and energy-efficient

For servo-hydraulic solutions, Baumüller offers drive systems that are low-maintenance, energy-efficient and perform well. With the servo pump, Baumüller combines the advantages of hydraulic power transmission with the benefits of electric servo drive technology. The intelligent control of the drive and the lower energy consumption of the components, especially in the partial load range, result in a highly energy-efficient yet economical solution that machine builders and users have been successfully using in their machines for many years. Another highlight is the compact and patented direct connection of the motor-pump unit with self-lubricating internal gearing.
