Sustainability
Rethinking Sustainability in Production and Logistics
Resource efficiency and environmental responsibility are becoming increasingly important in both production and logistics. Modern technologies make it possible to design processes that reduce environmental impact and optimize resource use – without compromising on quality or performance
Polyplan delivers sustainable automation solutions that set benchmarks in both the automotive and logistics industries. Our acoustic foam injection systems enhance vehicle comfort and safety, while our automated palletizing and depalletizing solutions improve efficiency and precision in logistics. Throughout all our innovations, we remain focused on one key goal: aligning sustainability with progress.
Sustainability Through Deliberate Material Selection
Our NVH foaming machines are designed to operate safely with recycled materials, such as polyol and isocyanate recyclates. The unrestricted use of renewable materials can reduce petroleum consumption by up to 20%. Additionally, incorporating reusable multi-use filters cuts waste from disposable filters by up to 70%.
Sustainability Through Repairability, Long System Lifespan and Non-Destructive Quality Control
Our acoustic foam injection systems exclusively use wear-free magnetic couplings in their drive trains, providing a lifespan approximately ten times longer than mechanical seals. This ensures sustainable and efficient system operation with high availability. Additionally, all potential high-wear components are repairable and are refurbished rather than discarded in the event of damage – which often more than doubles their service life.
When shipping replacement parts, we primarily use reusable closed-loop packaging to minimize packaging waste. Nearly all modules in our systems are also protected by durable fixed piping, which reduces both replacement efforts during operation and waste generation by approximately 30%.
Sustainability Through Energy-Efficient System Technology
Using energy-efficient temperature control units to heat acoustic foam components reduces the heating energy needed by up to 20% compared to other systems. Dynamic temperature compensation and efficiency-optimized pump speed control save an additional 10% of the energy required to manage the temperature of the PU components. Our systems are also equipped with high-performance thermal insulation, cutting total heating energy needs by up to 40%. The standby during shorter downtimes further reduces energy use by up to 30%.
Sustainability Through New, Compact Design
Our new high pressure dosing unit HD-PUR 100AS and UC reduce physical footprint by up to 80% compared to the proven HD-PUR 100HR high-pressure unit, improving space utilization and overall system efficiency. With these sustainable automation solutions, we actively reduce environmental footprint, optimize resource use, and enhance both efficiency and competitiveness.
