Keeping production stable as summer temperatures rise
24.08.2026
Rising summer temperatures can create additional challenges for manufacturing companies. Combined with the European holiday season, higher energy costs and changes in workforce availability, the summer months can put considerable pressure on production processes.
Maintaining productivity is no longer simply a question of keeping machines running. Manufacturers also need to ensure consistent energy use, stable cycle times, reliable product quality and predictable machine performance, even when operating conditions become more demanding.
The Tederic NEO·EII All-Electric Injection Molding Machine addresses these challenges with an emphasis on energy efficiency, precise control and effective thermal management.

01 Reduced Energy Consumption
Energy efficiency becomes particularly important during periods of high summer demand.
Unlike conventional hydraulic machines, the NEO·EII uses an all-electric servo drive system, providing precise motion control while significantly reducing energy requirements. According to Tederic, the machine can achieve up to 15% additional energy savings compared with other all-electric machines, contributing to lower operating costs over the long term.
The benefits can also be seen in actual production. At a leading European packaging manufacturer, an 850-ton NEO·EII reportedly reduced energy consumption by approximately 576 kWh per day. Based on an electricity price of €0.20/kWh, this represents savings of around €115 per machine per day.
Reducing consumption not only lowers production costs but can also make energy management easier during periods of increased summer demand.

02 Consistent and Stable Performance
Higher ambient temperatures can place additional demands on machine stability and process control.
The NEO·EII is equipped with a high-response, high-precision servo control system and provides 0.01 mm mold-opening repeatability. This level of precision helps maintain consistent molding conditions during continuous production.
Precise control throughout injection and holding-pressure processes contributes to stable cycle times, consistent part quality and predictable production results.
03 Improved Internal Cooling
Higher summer temperatures can also increase thermal stress on the machine's internal electrical systems.
The NEO·EII's standard Energy Recovery System recovers energy generated during operation while also helping limit heat accumulation inside the electrical cabinet.
Maintaining lower internal temperatures reduces thermal stress on important electrical components, which can contribute to a longer component lifespan and more reliable operation under demanding, high-temperature conditions.

Ready for Demanding Summer Production
As manufacturers contend with warmer operating environments, rising energy costs and the need for uninterrupted production, equipment is expected to deliver more than continuous operation. Efficiency, stability and reliability are increasingly important factors in maintaining productive manufacturing processes.
