Last year, MSK Covertech used the pandemic phase for numerous new developments and is exhibiting at Fachpack, among other things, an energy-saving shrink frame and the new software version of MSK Emsy for system monitoring.
With the new shrink frame MSK technology that sustainably reduces the use of energy. „Even before the latest development of our shrink technology, the energy requirement of an MSK shrink frame was on average around 10 per cent below the average level. The new generation of shrink frames introduced in 2020 now reduces gas consumption by an additional 13 per cent“, explains Uwe Jonkmanns, Sales & Marketing Director at MSK. „Some of our customers have recently also increasingly opted to use MSK Corritech electric shrink frames in order to do away with fossil fuels altogether.“
Energy savings through sustainable shrink technology
In some cases, this was supported by the EU by subsidising the use of energy from renewable sources. In addition, the new shrink frame can also be used with the newly developed MSK Covershrink Additional energy savings of up to 40 per cent make this possible. This, in conjunction with recyclable or biodegradable films, takes MSK shrink packaging to a new level. More than 20 models have already been sold and 12 machines delivered in a very short space of time.
MSK also uses resource-saving technology for its stretch bonnet systems a. A compact design, balanced vertical movements thanks to counterweights and a patented stretching process ensure low energy and film consumption.
Sustainability through digitalisation
Sustainability is also increasingly made possible and visualised through the digitalisation of processes. The latest digital Emsy products allow MSK systems to be monitored in real time with regard to energy and film consumption using live key figures and statistics. The MSK Emsy 6 software networks the machine controls into an intelligent overall system and makes a significant contribution to the automation of the entire packaging line. With software products such as the Emsy smart app MSK This also gives customers who have not yet digitalised their production the opportunity to monitor the mobile status of their system and thus get started with the digitalisation of their processes.
„Environmentally friendly machine concepts, energy savings, minimising emissions and digitalisation in the sense of Industry 4.0 are goals that will continue to shape the MSK Group's development and production processes in the coming years.“ Uwe Jonkmanns, Sales & Marketing Director at MSK
