| Project Abstract | 1. Dry Ice Cleaning: Eliminate purchase of 60L containers for disposal of Aerosol cans as hazardous waste cost 3000 per year. Prevent incinerating 50 of 60L drums of aerosols. Reduced downtime of 20 hours per week across machines. 3. Energy saving and productivity could save 100,000 if 4% is achieved. 4. Induction heating if successful, a return on investment of less than 2 years & product & quality benefits. 5. Cooling water management 6. training 7. Eco-design tool-kit introduction Results will be applicable to other plastic processers in Ireland and across WEST and we will present findings at conferances and on TV. |
