Interpon, a brand of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, has launched the Eco+ Cure energy calculator. This is a new expert-led, advanced analysis tool that helps manufacturers reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and shrink their carbon footprint across powder coating operations.
By analyzing real operating data, including gas usage, oven temperature, and throughput, it reveals optimization opportunities that are often invisible in day-to-day production. It also helps manufacturers better understand the potential impact of innovations such as lower cure technologies.
The Eco+ Cure energy calculator is used as part of an assessment carried out by Interpon’s Technical Services team, providing customers with clear insight into their curing process and how to improve energy efficiency and performance.
Interpon’s technical experts work with customers to translate data findings into practical recommendations that can be implemented quickly and effectively, helping reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, improve productivity and enhance overall line performance.
Jorrit van Rijn, Global Marketing Director at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, explains, “Manufacturers don’t just want to be more sustainable; they need solutions that improve performance at the same time. But without clear data, it’s difficult to know where to start. The Eco+ Cure energy calculator changes that. It gives customers real insight into their operations, helping them identify what works, what doesn’t, and where they can improve. It’s about making sustainability practical, and delivering real business value.”
