In the global textile printing industry, sustainability is becoming increasingly important. Sustainability is also a key consideration for Austria based machinery manufacturer Zimmer Austria’s regular innovation. It serves the market needs with cost-effective, and energy-saving machinery.
From Idea to Innovation – Zimmer’s Klagenfurt Competence Centre has shaped the market with pioneering innovations and revolutionary technologies. In today’s century of digitization and industry 4.0, ZIMMER AUSTRIA has the required know-how, the global business partner network, and the profound technologies to cope with the market needs of cost-effectiveness, quality, and flexibility. Therefore, Zimmer Austria is the ideal and most competent partner for the complete printing & coating process.
The company is committed to sustainability throughout its operations, from manufacturing machinery to developing eco-friendly printing, coating, and finishing technologies. The company prioritizes water and energy conservation and strives to minimize its environmental impact through reduced chemical use. These sustainable practices are key drivers of Zimmer Austria’s market success.
Recently, Zimmer’s Managing Director, Horst Ros, and Rupert Lerchner, Head of Engineering at the Klagenfurt plant shared exclusively to TexSPACE Today’s Europe Correspondent, Md. Muddassir Rashid how the leading machinery manufacturer’s cutting edge machinery is optimizing its customers’ return on investment (RoI).
Rupert Lerchner said, “When it comes to sustainability, we mainly focus on two main aspects of producing machines for our customers. The first key aspect is saving energy. For instance, our highly efficient dryer machine consumes very little energy in the water evaporation process. The second sustainability aspect is water and metal pollution. We have come up with a system, for cleaning the color pipes – we call it an Aqua cleaning system. In this system, we are using pressurized air with water in an automated system to clean the color pipes. With this technology, we can save up to 80% water compared to conventional machines.”
As for in-house sustainability measures, Rupert Lerchner added that the Klagenfurt plant installed around 500Kw photovoltaic power on the plant’s rooftop.”
In terms of RoI optimization, Rupert Lerchner said, “When it comes to optimization of RoI for our customers, there are many competitive advantages of Zimmer machines. Our high-efficiency dryers are optimized for water evaporation and are able to cut down energy costs to a remarkable extent. On the other hand, our multi-purpose coating machine can handle diverse kinds of coating methods on the same machine. And customers can produce products for a wide range of markets.”
Moreover, Zimmer’s years of experience in printing technology, coupled with complete control over the entire manufacturing of its machines, ensure high quality and productivity, and lower operational and maintenance costs. Zimmer Austria is actively working on reducing the printing and ink costs which is the most critical component of the operational cost.
Zimmer Austria machines are constructed in such a way that the machines can be upgraded to the next level of technology on the existing platform by the clients. This safeguards that machines do not get outdated over a period of time and customers can also adapt to the newer technologies on the existing platforms.
