Energy costs have been rising in many countries around the world in recent months. Electricity and gas prices in particular are affected by enormous price increases. But what can anodising companies do about this cost increase in the short term? There are some ways to make your own processes more energy efficient.<\/p>

Energy costs can be reduced directly with certain anodising processes. For example, the ENSAVAL<\/sup> process, also known as Alfinox 510, offers an overall saving of up to 13 percent on total costs. This is achieved by allowing an increased operating temperature of over 21\u00b0C, saving cooling energy and levelling out the aluminium concentration at approx. 25 – 30 g\/l Al. This means that, in general, a new approach to the bath is not required. The ENSAVAL<\/sup> process shows a significantly lower temperature sensitivity compared to conventional processes and does not lead to the formation of soft anodisation layers. In this way, energy can already be saved in the anodising process.<\/p> <\/p><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n Traditional hot sealing is also an energy-intensive process. In addition to the option of using classic or heavy-metal free Alufinish cold sealing products or the Qualanod-approved medium-temperature sealing Alfiseal 969, it is also possible to make the sealing process more efficient.<\/p> <\/p><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\nThe sealing process as a further optimisation option<\/h2>
