Heating rollers by INOMETA for sustainability & profitability

Reduced energy loss thanks to local heat generation – electric heating roller from INOMETA

INOMETA’s electric heating roller is a prime example of technological innovation that increases energy efficiency in production. Unlike conventional heating rollers, which are based on liquid media such as oil or water, the INOMETA heating roller generates the required heat locally, using electrical energy directly within the roller. This minimizes energy loss and ensures that the supplied energy almost completely corresponds to the required useful energy. As a result, there is a significant reduction in the overall energy requirement, leading to lower operating costs and a decrease in CO2 emissions.
Another advantage of INOMETA’s heating roller is that it eliminates the risk of leaks that could contaminate the environment or the substrate. Furthermore, the elimination of oil-based heating media enables a more environmentally friendly recycling process. The heated roller is easy to install and saves space, as no storage tanks, pipes, or pumps are required. The recognition of INOMETA’s heated roller as a sustainable and economical solution was confirmed by the ICE Europe Award 2023.

Alternatives to conventional cardboard cores

INOMETA’s WinCore® series offers a sustainable alternative to conventional cardboard cores. Thanks to their durability and reusability, they help to reduce waste and conserve resources. A single aluminium winding core can replace up to 500 cardboard cores and can be reused up to 1,000 times. This long lifespan contributes to sustainability and cost-effectiveness, significantly reducing the ecological footprint of production processes. The use of WinCore® winding cores is a clear commitment to sustainable production methods and demonstrates how productivity and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.

Air supply system for flexographic printing

INOlink®, INOMETA’s air supply system for flexographic printing, is another innovation that reduces compressed air consumption in the printing unit by up to 80%. This reduction leads to significant savings in operating costs and thus to a higher profitability of the printing process. Furthermore, it also results in a decrease in CO2 emissions and an optimization of occupational safety by reducing noise emissions by up to 10 dB during the set-up process. The prevention of air turbulence in the printing unit also helps to avoid contamination and sustainably improves print quality. INOlink® is backward compatible with the existing INOflex product portfolio, enabling a step-by-step transition.

Digital platform for product data

INOMETA is not only committed to innovative developments in the field of hardware but is also venturing into digital solutions for the first time with INOid®. With this innovation, INOMETA provides a digital platform that enables efficient management and quick access to product data. The system helps companies optimize their processes and minimize downtime and errors, resulting in significant cost savings. INOid® also contributes to sustainability by reducing paper consumption and the need for physical documentation. By using QR codes and RFID tags, INOid® enables fast and reliable access to product data, which in turn increases efficiency. The intuitive user interface and easy integration into existing systems are additional highlights of INOid®. This strategic expansion of the product portfolio underscores the company’s commitment to being a leader in the technology industry and continuously breaking new ground to meet the demands of an ever-changing market.
