Euromap Recommendation on energy efficiency

Energy efficiency in plastics and rubber processing machinery is a primary goal of the European manufacturers and is an Euromap (European Association for Plastics and Rubber Machinery) topical subject in their initiatives program.
The European machinery manufacturers have prepared the Euromap 60 Recommendation - published on January 30, 2013 - that provides users of these machines with a unique reference document, thanks to which it is possible to compare the energy consumption according to standardized parameters and measurements.
The Italian injection moulding machinery manufacturers, within Assocomaplast, have actively participated in the drafting of the Euromap 60 Recommendation (splitted in two parts: 60.1 and 60.2) and they are preparing a new Recommendation on extrusion-blow moulding machines for hollow parts.
