Boy Machines Inc. underlines its servo-driven BOY 100 E injection molding machine with a 1,000 kN clamping force as an example of equipment that consumes less energy in the production process, thus reducing the ecological footprint and improving cost-effectiveness.

The company gives the example of the production of a plastic cover with a weight of approximately 50 g. In this instance, Boy Machines’ injection molding machine is said to require a total of only 2.190 kWh of heating and drive power per hour versus 7.684 kWh for comparable machines, which is more than three times as much under the same conditions. The difference of around 5.5 kWh per operating hour adds up to 33,000 kWh per year in a three-shift operation, Boy Machines says. In terms of cost, with a power purchase price of €0.20 per kWh, BOY 100 E ultimately has the potential to save up to €6,600 (approximately $5,560) per year.

In addition to reduced prices for parts and machine hourly rates, savings also reduce the ecological footprint. According to the Federal Environment Agency, with each kWh saved, approximately 400 g of CO₂ emissions are prevented, resulting in more than 13 tons of CO₂ being saved per year.

Boy Machines will be demonstrating its technologies at Amerimold 2021.
