In today’s competitive market, tissue converting plants are constantly seeking ways to increase production, manage costs, and reduce environmental impact. The Maflex Energy Regenerative System (MERS) offers a revolutionary solution that meets these needs by improving energy efficiency and sustainability.

Energy use in tissue converting
MERS, introduced by Maflex in 2010, is a pioneering system designed to redefine energy usage in tissue converting lines. Each module of the line incorporates advanced regenerative drives that capture and reuse otherwise lost energy. Here is a more detailed overview of how it works:

  • Regenerative Drives: these systems recover energy during the deceleration phases of machine operation and reintegrate it into the power grid, reducing total energy consumption.
  • Energy Savings: by reintegrating unused energy, MERS can achieve up to 20% energy savings, significantly lowering operational costs and improving the environmental footprint of production facilities.

Toward a Circular Economy
Adopting the MERS system not only leads to significant cost savings but also supports companies on their journey towards a more sustainable business model. By optimising energy use and reducing waste, MERS aligns with the principles of the circular economy, enhancing the ecological credentials of tissue converting operations.

Leading the Way in Ecological Production
Transitioning to MERS positions a company as a leader in sustainable and efficient production practices. It is an investment in future-proofing operations and demonstrates a concrete commitment to environmental stewardship.
