Cogeneration for plastic

Cogeneration is confirmed as a technology that is attentive to consumption and the environment, and ideal in a segment such as processing of plastics for haute parfumerie and luxury cosmetics. Matic Plast Milano has chosen to adopt an environmental policy when it comes to energy efficiency, and has entrusted AB in the context of rationalising use of sources of fossil fuels, resulting in economic savings and improving environmental conditions in regard to greenhouse gasses at its production facility in Carugate (near Milan). 

Industrial cogeneration and, in particular, the engineering technology developed by AB has demonstrated it is the ideal solution for companies from different sectors who pay great attention not only to the quality and excellence of their products, but also to energy efficiency and protecting the environment. Matic Plast Milano has been working for more than sixty years in injection moulding thermoplastic parts and since 1972 has specialised in closures for the cosmetic and perfume industry. The company's facilities are fitted with sophisticated machinery and systems, which are constantly updated and expanded with every possible technological innovation that can optimize production, improve the quality of processes and therefore of the finished products, with a particular environmentally-friendly vocation.

To this end, Matic Plast Milano has chosen to install a Ecomax Natural Gas cogeneration system at its manufacturing facility in Carugate. The Ecomax 10 NGS model system is powered by natural gas and is a modular, container solution, with overall rated power at full load of 1067 kW, with cogenerated thermal input of 1268 kW, relative to 2673 kW of thermal input introduced.
