In response to global climate change and the increasing need for sustainable development, companies worldwide are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. Techmatik, a leader in manufacturing machines and technologies for the construction industry, exemplifies a company actively engaging in eco-friendly initiatives. This article highlights Techmatik's key efforts aimed at environmental protection and CO2 emission reduction.
Techmatik stands out with its mold repair (renewal) service. Reusing worn molds for paving stones reduces the exploitation of natural resources and steel consumption. A new steel mold weighs between 1,5 to 2 tons. One ton of steel, requiring 1.4 tons of iron ore and over 700 kg of coal to produce emitting 1.5 tons of CO2. In the production process, we need 2.25 - 3.0 tons of steel to produce one mold. Repairing a 2-ton mold can save up to 4,5 ton of CO2 emissions and cut costs by up to 40% compared to purchasing new molds.
The motors and gearboxes used in Techmatik machines boast an efficiency of 92.1%, making them up to 10% more efficient than competitors. This results in significant energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions.
Innovative solutions like the high-speed “wirbler” mixer reduce concrete mixing time from 5 to 4 minutes, saving 20% of work time, energy, and reducing waste. This leads to a reduction of 188.76 kg of CO2 per year for each planetary mixer used by clients.
Techmatik’s blocks machines with counterweights reduce energy consumption by 10%, lowering production costs, especially important given high electricity prices.
Techmatik designs production lines that require 30% less space compared to competitors, benefiting both the company and the environment by reducing land use.
The ICONICS system minimizes paperwork and helps identify bottlenecks in production, improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and saving time, ultimately decreasing the carbon footprint.
Photovoltaic Installation
In July 2024, Techmatik began installing 1,686 photovoltaic modules with a total power of 691.26 kW on its roof. This installation will power Techmatik’s machinery, providing substantial energy savings and minimizing the company’s carbon footprint.
Techmatik S.A. invests in modern technologies and actively engages in eco-friendly initiatives. Through mold regeneration, the use of energy-efficient motors, innovative technical solutions, and solar panel installations, the company effectively reduces CO2 emissions and promotes sustainable development. Techmatik demonstrates that environmental protection and production efficiency can go hand in hand.
