Energy-intensive processes in heat treatment
Efficiently solving challenges in casting, hardening, and tempering
The metal processing industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors. Especially in heat treatment, during casting, hardening, nitriding, or bluing, high power peaks regularly occur – a central cost driver in electricity procurement. Whether tools, machine parts, or molds: every component processed in furnaces, crucibles, washing, or cooling systems contributes to the burden on your energy profile.
These load peaks are not only difficult to plan but also directly result in increased grid fees. Just a single outlier in a year can cause additional costs amounting to several thousand euros – regardless of how efficiently the other production weeks go.
Dynamic demand management with a system
The EOS system minimizes network fees and reduces electricity costs.
With our dynamically managed load management system EOS, we offer a reliable solution for automated peak load avoidance in all areas of metal processing. EOS detects consumption patterns in real-time, intelligently controls your systems, and optimizes the power flow of your entire facility.
Through a holistic approach, energy distribution can be efficiently smoothed – without manual intervention and without production losses. Our experience shows: The investment in the EOS system usually pays off within two years.
