Heating is by far the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the household. To reduce this, heating systems are being converted to heat pumps. In order for the changeover to heat pump technology to succeed, today's manufacturing processes must be automated and designed for short cycle times. With the fully automated production for storage solutions, jackets for water storage tanks in the required diameter range of 350 mm to 630 mm can be manufactured in short cycle times. With the help of innovative analogue technology and process technology with lasers, the cycle times could be reduced by up to 5 times.With the Variostar, nominated for the Best Award 2023 at Blechexpo, for example, tubes in a sheet thickness range of up to 3.5 mm can be produced highly efficiently in throughfeed for the first time.
