How can we save energy in welding?

There are many different ways to save resources in welding, including the resource-conserving production of welding machines, the use of long-lasting, repairable, and recyclable equipment, opting for multiprocess machines and equipment, and the optimized application of wear parts. But is there much scope for reducing electricity consumption?

How should welding equipment be stored?

Storing welding equipment properly includes the practice of shielding essential gear from the elements of the work environment. Storage efforts should include a plan to keep welding equipment clean and dry. Consumables should be exposed to air as little as possible. Here are some basics examples on how you can properly store your welding equipment:

How much energy does a welding machine use?

In terms of the electricity costs of the individual machine, this may seem rather negligible. But with countless welding machines in use around the world, the higher consumption of 255 kWh per year does make a difference in terms of overall energy consumption, the required power plant capacities, and the energy costs.

Why should you use a modern welding machine?

Beyond this, it’s advisable to set modern welding processes on the machine. These can make welding simpler, higher quality, and usually more energy-efficient too: the cleaner the work of the welding specialists, the less rework required, and the lower the overall energy consumption.

Are welders sustainable?

Welders who produce high-quality weld seams efficiently, virtually spatter-free, and in a time-saving manner using modern welding machines not only do an excellent job, they also act sustainably both in ecological and economical terms. And they do so simply by using energy and our natural resources as efficiently and sparingly as possible.

Do you need an energy-efficient welding machine?

The answer is a resounding yes! Energy-efficient welding machines and processes are essential in doing so. We show you five features that you should look for in an energy-efficient welding machine.
