Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors – Part 1

  • Understand how to manage energy
  • Provides key grounding and overview
  • Energy management systems
  • Understanding energy use
  • Monitoring and targeting
  • Motors, compressed air, chilled and cooling water, and drying materials
  • Fully interactive and online

This CPD-approved course is designed to give you the key knowledge to improve and optimise the way you manage energy if you manufacture any type of plastic product.

Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors Part 1 provides essential background information on understanding and monitoring energy use, as well as covering core services like drying materials and the use of compressed air.

Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors – Part 2

  • Detailed look at manufacturing techniques
  • Injection moulding
  • Injection Blow Moulding
  • Extrusion
  • Extrusion Blow Moulding
  • Rotational Moulding
  • Thermoforming
  • Only choose relevant modules

Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors Part 2 is CPD-approved and delves into the specifics of energy management.

Users are encouraged to take part 1 before taking part 2.

It comprises six modules, each looking at energy management for a different manufacturing process. Learners are encouraged to select and complete individual modules relevant to the manufacturing processes their site uses.

Part 1 Provides The Grounding in Energy Management

Part 1 comprises seven modules. The first three modules serve as an introduction to energy management and cover:

• Energy Management Systems

• Understanding Energy Use

• Monitoring and Targeting

The next four modules focus on optimising energy use and are designed to provide useful insights to any type of plastics processor. These modules cover:

• Motors

• Compressed Air

• Chilled and cooling water

• Drying

Upon successful completion of Part 1, learners are encouraged to select and purchase the modules they require from Part 2, which looks at energy management techniques for specific plastic manufacturing processes.

It is possible to purchase modules from Part 2 without undertaking Part 1 if that is your preference.

Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors Part 1 takes approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete.

Part 2 Looks At Specific Manufacturing Processes

Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors Part 2 comprises six modules, each with a marked assessment at the end.

You are only required to select those relevant to the processes your manufacturing site uses.

The modules look at energy management techniques specific to each manufacturing process and cover:

• Injection moulding

• Injection Blow Moulding

• Extrusion

• Extrusion Blow Moulding

• Rotational Moulding

• Thermoforming

It is possible to purchase and complete modules from Part 2 without undertaking Part 1 if that is your preference.

The modules within Effective Energy Management for Plastics Processors Part 2 take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

Any combination of these modules can be taken at your leisure, picking up from where you left off.
