Oilfield biocides, tapping the energy-saving potential of injection molding machines

Unleashing the energy-saving potential of injection molding machines: Electromagnetic heating for energy savings is a highly mature technology that is currently used in various heating applications such as those in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, plastic machinery, oil field pipelines, and metallurgy; it can help save 30–60% of electrical energy. An injection molding machine is a type of plastic processing machinery that consumes a large amount of electricity; the motor part accounts for most of this energy use. Customers with technical expertise can certainly use frequency converters to reduce power consumption in the motor section. In fact, many injection molding machine manufacturers now offer frequency converters as standard equipment for customers to choose from. So, can energy-saving potential be tapped in other areas as well? The answer is yes; the \"heating section\" can save a significant amount of energy. Traditional injection molding machines use resistive wire coils for heating, which results in significant heat loss. Nowadays, many domestic as well as foreign companies have upgraded these machines to use electromagnetic heating; as a result, electricity consumption is reduced by 30–60%, and the temperature in the workshop also drops, thereby cutting down the air conditioning costs in these companies’ injection molding facilities. Although private enterprises’ injection molding workshops lack air conditioning, the high temperatures in summer increase the workload for workers. In the oilfield pesticide industry, it is common for workers in such workshops to be less diligent during the summer, which is why electromagnetic heating upgrades also hold positive significance. According to Shanghai Fiksu Electromagnetic Heating Energy Saving Co., Ltd., which was among the first in China to carry out electromagnetic heating upgrades, less than 10% of the injection molding machines in the country have been upgraded in this regard, and these upgrades are mainly carried out on machines owned by foreign companies. Since some of these foreign companies have already been exposed to such upgrades abroad, they are particularly receptive to this concept. Of course, the vast majority of users of injection molding machines in China are owners of private enterprises. Fiksu says it’s not difficult to win over these customers; \"free trials and providing meters to display the readings\" are the most straightforward methods, as private enterprise owners trust what they can see with their own eyes the most. Fiksu is planning to expand its services to private injection molding customers across the country. For oil field disinfectants, it aims to complete the renovation of over 8,000 injection molding machines for such customers each year starting in 2010. Oil field disinfectants.
