At the recent Technodomus, an expo for furnishing and construction wood technology held in Italy, Biesse announced its new project for the production of highly technological solutions capable of reducing energy consumption and providing clients with tangible and environmentally conscious savings. Reporting a 97-percent increase in traffic at its booth compared to the inaugural 2009 Technodomus event, Biesse says its green project aims to save energy and guarantee measurable savings for the client while increasing environmental awareness. 

As the leading manufacturer of high-tech machinery and systems for wood, glass and stone since 1969, Biesse says it intends to fully embrace today’s ecological sensibilities and adapt them to the corporate philosophy to become an eco-technological company with sustainable technology that also benefits the client. 

The latest generation of Biesse machines are designed to consume less energy and emit less pollution through optimization of the work processes and of CO2 emissions.  

The characteristic features of the Biesse new energy saving technologies include:

• Intelligent energy management: adjusts the machine performance to the requirements of the job in hand
• Automatic stand-by on machines: those features not being used are automatically on standby to reduce energy consumption
• Continuous monitoring of energy consumption: permits better and more efficient use of the machine park
• Energy recovery: some of the kinetic energy is recovered from the electro-spindle motor and reconverted into electricity
• Efficient vacuum generation: only those pumps required by the job are activated
• Dust extraction  optimization: air suction is only activated on those nozzles in use
• Compressed air interruption: the pneumatic air flow of a machine not in use is interrupted and cannot leak
• Reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 30 tonnes per annum

Biesse also presented new panel processing technology and machines for the windows and doors market, including the Techno Kernel drilling machine, the Roxyl single-sided edgebanding machine, the Stream B1 square edgebanding machine and the automatic drilling machines Printex and Rover B WMS -- the new entry-level work cell for producing all kinds of standard and special windows and doors.
