Another meeting of plastics universal for its 2010 injection machines market study
"The sector will have fewer processors, but with more added value to their work"
Interview with Alberto Villatoro, Protecnos

After the celebration of the traditional meeting of suppliers of injectors, Interempresas-plastics universal wanted to know the opinion of the main Spanish suppliers about current issues of concern to the sector in our country.
Alberto Villatoro, Protecnos.
Reducing the consumption of machines is one of the trends that we hear about more. It is a simple fashion or really Spanish plastics transformer calculated rigorously its production costs including energy consumption?
I think that at times across our economy is more than necessary adjustment of spending on any aspect of the business. When the machines offered by technological advances in the field of reduction of energy consumption, it is logical that the transformers are interested in this. Too many are still not transformers who know in detail its costs of production, it is quite likely that most are also unaware of the exact amount of the item which represents the electrical energy in the production process. For that reason, Protecnos is providing all concerned which so request, a free energy audit, which informs them with accuracy of this expenditure, at the time that it offers them - without any commitment - a simulation of the significant savings that would produce these same pieces with your Ecotech machines of last generation.
Talk about the future is difficult. But, does he not dare describe the panorama of the Spanish plastics industry by 2015?
As you stated your question, make forecasts on the evolution of the industry in general and of the of the the plastic in particular to 2015, it might be a genuine exercise of divination, but we can think of a recovery in the industry in some areasthe now more damaged, such as construction or industrial piece. Still, I believe that we will see a change in the type of transformer, similar to which are already suffering other industries, with a reduction in the number of transformers, but with a greater degree of specialization and with more added value to their work. It will then be important to precisely control all expenditures, in order to be competitive in an increasingly globalised market and greater demands.
Their main arguments of sale in 2010 put in first-line matters relating to costs or to the injection technique?
We believe that the time has come for the renewal of the fleet of machinery by important technical developments that in recent times they have reached. A determining factor, which itself only already so justify, relates to savings in energy consumption, reached the machines of last generation. It is obvious that the transformer it is very interesting reducing this cost, that so much weight is in the process, being able to determine the profitability or non-business, or at least some of their lines.
Protecnos offers its new series of Ecotech injectors of last generation, able to achieve truly amazing savings, up to 75% of electricity consumption, compared to the machines to average between 8 and 10 years old, placing the average saving over 50% on any other model of previous machine. Tangible verification of this fact, is convincing the majority of manufacturers begin to replace its fleet of machinery with these other, which is autoamortizan by the savings in electricity consumption obtained with them.
