Heating of corrugation machines is of paramount
importance to all box manufacturers. It consumes
substantial energy at a vital cost and is critical
to the 2 ply output quality. Until now, the traditional
options available for heating the corrugation
machines have been:
Boilers (both steam and thermic fluid) are successful
for box plants in the developed world, but in
India boilers are usually unviable. This is because
an average box manufacturer here converts a fraction
of what any manufacturer in the developed world
converts. This is a big hindrance for corrugators
in India, not allowing them to either absorb the
capital expense of installing a boiler or to take
advantage of its lower running cost.
Why LPG?
LPG heating has emerged as the hottest news for
box manufacturers. There are some central aspects,
which have prompted corrugators to rapidly convert
their corrugation machines from electric to LPG
heating.
The problems associated with the electricity department
have been instrumental in conversion of electrically
heated corrugation machines into LPG heated ones.
Heating cost of the corrugation machine being
a significant cost component, has a direct effect
on the total conversion cost. With the present
electric tariff of approximately Rs. 5/- per unit
of electricity, LPG proves to be cheaper by 30%
when compared with open coil electric heaters.
The conversion of corrugation machines from electric
to gas reduces the electric load requirement of
the box plant by 50%.
Low initial investment involved in conversion
from electrically operated corrugation machines
into LPG operated machines, is a big inducement
to all box manufacturers and facilitates a quick
decision.
Our country possesses vast resources of natural
gas. The government has been forthcoming enough
to tap it and we, as consumers are reaping the
benefits. LPG is easily available at our doorstep
and is known to be a clean, green fuel.
As is true of all new alternatives, LPG heating
has tremendous scope for improvements. We, at
Electro Heat Engineers, are committed to provide
you better products, always With our persistent
endeavors, we have formed a team of dedicated
specialists working continuously towards LPG heating
of corrugation machines. This has enabled us to
achieve phenomenal results and LPG is rapidly
emerging as an economical alternate heating source.
With your continued support and patronage, we
hope to make it safer and functionally superior
in the days to come.
