Form follows function. This sentence should be the first thing you consider when thinking about product design. Components are often designed in such a way that they look good, but do not meet the technical requirements for their actual use and the processing process. Even optical components can only achieve good quality with the help of sensible processes and optimized geometry.​ Would you like to achieve greater process reliability, greater efficiency in the manufacturing process and avoid the costs of unnecessary development errors, or achieve a higher profit in the long term?​ Through our component optimization based on injection molding simulation and our experience, we help you achieve greater efficiency and quality in the entire subsequent production chain with significantly lower follow-up costs.​ ​The earlier the topology optimization takes place, the more component and process errors can be avoided. Exploit the optimization potential early on to enable good parts to be produced later on during the first sampling. We'll show you how it's done!

Many content-protection masterbatches still contain benzotriazole compounds, which the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) may list as substances of very high concern (SVHC). If this happens, the substances would become subject to specific authorisation requirements. Further substances have been added step by step since 2023, and additional recommendations for inclusion are expected in 2026. Lifocolor therefore offers alternatives to benzotriazole-containing masterbatches with UV absorbers, including solutions for polyesters (PET and CoPET). The further developed LIFOSTAB portfolio includes masterbatches for protecting the content of numerous polymers, including a product for recycled plastics that is made entirely from recyclate.

efa works with companies to develop financing solutions for the investment needs of sustainable and climate-friendly production and its development.

With its consulting services on production, digitalization, product development and design, efa offers an easy entry into a resource-saving and efficient economy.

We built the precision injection molding tool for the Bergisch duck brooding basket, which provides a protected place for ducks and other animals such as owls, hedgehogs, and kestrels. The basket, made from recycled plastic, protects against predators and the weather and is particularly easy to assemble thanks to two half-shells that are connected with seven high-quality V2A connecting screws. With our tool, we are helping to produce this sustainable and animal-friendly solution in high quality.

Our big bag emptying stations enable you to cleanly discharge all kinds of bulk materials. Suitable for materials such as • Plastic granulates (PE, PP, PA, TPE, PET, PVC) • PET flakes, regrind, regranulate • Foodstuffs and chemical products such as sugar, flour, starch, malt • Minerals such as dry clay and quartz sand Bridge-forming materials are loosened in the big bag by special fixtures, ensuring that discharge is always reliable. Dustfree emptying is guaranteed by various clamping devices that secure the big bag outlet. The material is usually emptied into an intermediate hopper, from where it is transported further in conveyor systems. The hoppers can be optionally equipped with dust extraction, discharge aids, suction nozzles or other connections for your conveyor technology. Areas of application • Plastics industry • Recycling industry • Chemical industry • Pharmaceuticals • Logistics industry • Automotive • Food industry Technical data • Sturdy frame construction in welded and bolted design • Includes big bag safety cross • Crossbeam for forklift trucks • Integrated discharge container (aluminium or stainless steel version) • Big bag inlet dome for easy opening of the big bag Optional accessories • Walking table with lower walking unit for material movement • Side upper walking unit • Low-dust big bag docking station • Big bag pull-out device • Intermediate container with operating opening • Filter • Material fluidisation in the discharge container (vibration motors, vibrapads, agitator) Your advantages at a glance • Low acquisition costs • Robust construction – durable and low-maintenance • User-friendly opening of big bags – easy handling without effort • Low-dust emptying – clean processes and safe working environment • Flexible connection options – easy integration into various conveyor and discharge systems
