Precise production technology

Heat pumps are increasingly in demand as heating systems for both new builds and modernization projects and are seen as an ideal way of reducing the CO2 emissions generated by heating buildings. Air/water heat pumps use the heat stored in the air for heating and hot water and can also be used for cooling in summer.

In the highly efficient CHA monobloc heat pump from WOLF GmbH, all the important technical components of the heat generation process are brought together in the outdoor unit. Inside the housing, molded parts made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) from RUCH NOVAPLAST ensure that the individual components are held securely in place. This requires 14 individual molded parts made of particle foam.

It is a particular challenge to manufacture the individual parts in such a way that they are perfectly matched to each other and there is no misalignment. The mold part tolerances are kept correspondingly tight.

RUCH NOVAPLAST prepared itself for precisely this type of challenge last year by investing in larger machinery. The restructuring of production processes has created optimal conditions for the smooth production of molded parts made of particle foam. The specialist staff at the machines have been trained accordingly and ensure consistently high quality with the help of permanent checks.
